I approve of everything he did. Others need to learn so why not publish her punishment to set an example!

Let's assume that Mr Cox's daughter isn't a princess and needs to be held accountable for her bullying. Indeed, if she's been caught twice, she likely was a bully more often than twice.

I guess in the overall scheme of things Mr Cox should be applauded. He took action. I seriously doubt having her walk to school will address her underlying pathology...a preferable approach in my home would be for the Princess to publicly apologize to her victims and be stripped of social media etc. But, again, at least Mr Cox did something.

However...parenting is one of the most important relationships on the planet, requiring inter alia trust and love and for the child to feel safe/protected. In Mr Cox's zeal to showboat effectively like an NFL wide receiver after a TD, this dope allowed every predator in America to get a lock on his address.

He also broke a cardinal rule we conservatives have regarding parenting: it does NOT take a Village. Did he post his disciplinary activities online because he's incapable of managing his daughter alone?

The internet is forever. 10 years from now this epidode will STILL be around. And I suspect that's the problem here: yea the kid is need of discipline, but Dad is either starved for attention (it is noteworthy that there doesn't seem to be a mother around) or he is a narcissist. Regardless, the message he sent to his daughter is that her safety and protection and confidentiality is secondary to his need for attention.

BULLHOCKEY!!! You sound like one of the Me Tooers. HOW the father chose to punish his daughter is HIS Business and if he chose to hold her up for ridicule, HE thinks she needs it. Your pseudo analysis of him is laughable. Sounds like YOU are the narcissist and you certainly have no concept of REAL conservatism.
