Raising children and teaching them values ​​is no easy task, but it is a mission that cannot be postponed in the midst of a violent, chaotic world.

What should I do if my child is the target of bullying? or what should I do if my child practices or encourages bullying? These are questions that parents have to ask themselves – at some point – at home. Many of those who read this note certainly did.

Responding to the second question is just as difficult to answer: take action.

A viral scene is shaking those who see how a father responds to the case of a daughter who mocks a girl who has cancer. To punish his daughter, the father takes a razor and shaves her hair.

The young girl cries, but it is too late to stop the action of the father who, by recording the scene and exposing the minor, managed, as expected, to divide opinions on social networks.

While in El Español, they said: “What has emerged is that the young woman allegedly mocked and harassed a colleague who was undergoing treatment for cancer, with her hair loss being one of the reasons for the criticism against him .”

On Instagram, Vanessa (on networking @vaneberl) opined: I don’t think tit for tat will help you. “He will probably be filled with anger and hatred, which will not make him a better person.”

With power, @paz_benitot He said, “That’s abuse.”

According to journalist Juan Soto Ivars, quoted on Antena 3, “bullying always starts at home.” And he explains: “That brutal act makes me wonder other things. Bullying focuses on the victim, but sometimes those who do it experience situations. Children copy what they see at home. Instead of it seeming like an appropriate punishment to me, I don’t know because I don’t have the context… but I always think about the aggressor and the one at home.”

Another user, Antoine, said: “The result of this barbarity will be contrary to what was intended…”.

If the daughter showed such unacceptable behavior, it means that something went wrong in her daughter’s upbringing.

And Vanesa García Carbone recalled: “The law of retaliation was never good. This is child abuse and abuse is not the solution. Now I understand from his reaction why she, his daughter, bullies.”

For journalist Marta Robles: “If your child cannot feel the pain of others, you should explain it to him, and not cause him pain that could provoke even more anger and an incredible desire for revenge.”
