A mother has shamed her cyber-bullying daughter online by making her pose with a poster saying she is selling her iPod as punishment.
The image posted online shows the North Carolina teenager, Hailey, holding up a handwritten sign explaining that she is selling the gadget to raise money for an anti-bullying charity.
Hailey's mother posted it to Facebook, where it was seen by another user and shared on Reddit.
'I make poor choices with social media,' the sign reads. 'As punishment, I am selling my iPod and will be donating the money to the Charity Beat Bullying... Because bullying is wrong.'
After the image was shared on reddit last week, numerous commenters accused Hailey's mother, Cara Schneider, of using her own bullying tactics against her daughter.
Shamed: A mother snapped this picture of her teenage daughter after she allegedly caught her bullying online. The photo has since gone viral, but some commenters have accused the mother of being the bully
'Humiliating your child to teach her not to humiliate other children? Gee, I wonder where she gets it!' one wrote.
'This is terrible parenting,' another added. 'It's things like this that make kids hate their parents. This will only make her behave worse out of spite.'
But Schneider has defended her actions and said she does not regret posting the photograph as she wants her daughter to act appropriately towards others, the Examiner reported.
