One mom's unique punishment for her bullying daughter that actually might work! (VIDEO)

Imagine getting an email from your 10-year-old daughter's teacher telling you that your daughter has been relentlessly harassing another student about her clothing, so much so that the other student no longer wants to come to school. What would you do? You would probably start off by having a serious talk with your child about her bullying someone else, right? That's what Ally, a mother in Utah, did when she found out via email about her daughter's misbehavior. But when her daughter, Kaylee, showed no remorse for what she had done, Ally knew she had to do something more, so she got creative.

Truth be told: Moms need to remember they were young once too

sunbathers

In Stuyvesant Town's playgrounds in New York City, young sunbathing co-eds are outraging local soccer moms and, according to parents, offending the delicate sensibilities of their wee little ones. The weather is heating up and girls just want to get some sun. What are these moms afraid is going to happen? A child is going to see a little side boob and want to eat?

I'm a mom of little girls and I consider myself to be conservative in what I let them see and watch. I try to keep life PG-rated and age-appropriate, but I know that life is life and, as parents we cannot censor everything our kids are exposed to. Our best solution is to raise our children with good moral values and an open mind. We teach by example and there are some things that are just not worth getting all up in arms about, like sunbathing co-eds at the local playground.

Rape & cyberbullying among teens happens way more than anyone wants to admit

As if the horrific news of the suicide of Rehtaeh Parsons a teen in Canada who was raped and cyberbullied weren't shocking enough, we now learn that three teen boys have been arrested in the case of another girl who apparently went through something similar before hanging herself last fall in Northern California. Reminiscent of the Steubenville's rape victim ordeal, 15-year-old Audrie Pott got drunk during a party at a friend's house last September and ended up in a bedroom, where three 16-year-old boys did "unimaginable things to her while she was unconscious," according to the victim's family attorney.

Photos showing the naked girl being sexually assaulted quickly went viral after they were shared by students via cell phone. Unable to bear the humiliation, Audrie--a popular student who was a gifted artist and musician--killed herself a week after the attack.

'The Onion' calls Quvenzhané Wallis the C-word, apologizes, but it's not enough!

Dear Onion:

As a woman, a woman of color, and a mother, I am offended that you've called Quvenzhané Wallis a cunt. Did you expect the 9-year-old Wallis to issue a statement defending herself fully comprehending why adults would use the most offensive word you can call a woman?

You've left a nasty stain as Wallis celebrated her day as the youngest Best Actress nominee in Oscar history for "Beasts of the Southern Wild." And in case you don't realize, that is a HUGE deal!

I was completly outraged when I recently heard about this YouTube video showing two young girls (who look no older than 6 or 7) being forced to fight in a New York City park. Why would anyone actually want to encourage kids to physically fight?

Police are now investigating the horrific video that shows these two children being egged on to hit each other. The two start off pushing, then slapping, and even pulling each other's hair with a group of teens in the background cheering them on. This video literally left me sick to my stomach.

This story is broke my heart! An 11-year-old sixth grade student named Bailey O'Neill was involved in a terrible fight with a bully at his Darby Township, Pennsylvania school.
