Don't You Dare Repost the Pictures My Kids Took While They Trashed Your House!

What the hell is wrong with people?!
Brian Holloway gets his home broken into by 300 teenagers who had a party in it, TRASHED the hell out of it and stole stuff... he did his research, started a website and posted the pictures and names of some of the kids in attendance.  The pictures he posted on his website were compiled from what these little shits posted on Twitter.  It's estimated that these asshats did around $20000 worth of damage.

Instead of getting mad and going for vengeance, he turns the other cheek and encourages the kids to come back, clean up their mess and have a picnic.  Only one party goer  showed up... two others who didn't attend the party also showed up because they felt bad.

The parents of some of these future stars of America want to SUE BRIAN HOLLOWAY for identifying and posting pictures of their little angels!  Pictures that their little cherubs took while they were pissing on this man's floor, spray painting walls, wrecking his stuff and just being dicks.
I understand kids do stupid things; high school is hard, their brains aren't done developing, they get pressured into doing stupid things just so they can be liked by their peers and feel acceptance.  By no means am I saying "teens will be teens" and shrugging my shoulders... but their parents are adults!  What the hell are they thinking?
A parent's job is to teach appropriate behaviour!  The lesson that is being taught to these kids is that Brian is the bad guy for reposting the pictures.  He's a horrible man because he didn't have permission to post picture of the underage children.  He should pay them damages for ruining their reputations! It doesn't address the behaviour that was done in the first place.

I've read various blogs and responses to blogs about this and haven't come across anyone who had agreed with the parents.  But it's amazing how many people think that less corporal punishment in the schools and at home is to blame... or that they would never have done something like this as a teen because "they were afraid" of their parents... or that if their kid did something like this they would beat their ass.

Since when is the only way to teach empathy for others to a child is to smack them around? 
Is this why some parents don't discipline because they only see it as spanking?

Discipline isn't about scaring the crap out of your kid, its about teaching your child how to make good choices now and in the future.

It's about teaching cause and effect... every action has a reaction.  If you help Mommy with supper, you'll have more time to play after supper.  If you don't study for your exam, you'll fail.  If you treat people with kindness, they'll want to be around you.  If you break into a man's house and piss on his floor, you're going to have to clean it up.

I'm not saying I'm the perfect parent... far from it! 
Hell, my four year old just smacked a kid on the bus with her water bottle.  But I'm not reporting the bus driver for not catching it, blaming the school for not teaching proper bus behaviour or raising hell that each child on the bus doesn't get their own seat.  We've discussed it from different angles; why it isn't right, how it makes the other kid feel, what she could do instead and why she won't do it again. 

She doesn't need to be afraid of her father and I to respect us but she does need to know that it is our job to teach her boundaries.  She and her older brother won't always behave... no child ever does.  But they won't be getting a beating to show them why they shouldn't hit.
