She was aware that other students at the school knew her son was mean to other students.
A mom from Texas named Star told KTRK-TV, “He was calling other boys stupid and idiots.” Star asked that only her first name be used. “I’m a very traditional parent.” My kids aren’t spoiled by me. I’m honest with them about everything.
Star put up a picture of her son wearing the T-shirt on her Facebook page so that as many people as possible would know that he was mean. Star wrote, “I put it up so that I could get in touch with the parents of any kids my son may have picked on so that he could apologize to each of them personally.”
Some people thought Star went too far when she punished her son for being mean, but Star stood by what she did and defended herself against people who said she was wrong online. Star asked, “What did he learn from it? He said, ‘I learned that I didn’t like how that made me feel, and I don’t want anyone else to feel that way because of me.’” “That’s exactly what I meant for him to understand.” Professionals who work with kids don’t agree with Star’s punishment.
