Here’s the question:

Given the subject of this link/video, what would any of you guys do/say if that had been one of your kids making fun of, insulting, and harassing this elderly woman until she cried?  What would you have done or said if it was your grandmother or another elderly relative that was being harassed by these rotten kids?    I’d love to have feedback from everybody, because I’m genuinely curious.  I watched the video and read through all the comments twice, and, believe me, if I’d had kids and one of my kids was part of that, I’d ground him or her for a week or two, and make her apologize personally to the elderly woman.  

Hey, folks;  I’d really love some feedback on this.  Any thoughts?

When I read the comments and saw the video, I felt my own memories of being made fun of, teased, insulted and snubbed by other kids, both guys and gals just come echoing back at me, even though what I went through wasn’t nearly as bad as that.  What’s also disgusting is that disrespect seems to be at an all time high these days, even though disrespect and bullying has always been rather commonplace, though not as bad as today.  One doesn’t have to be a parent, to have kids, or to have grown up in a rough and tough urban area to have experienced constant nasty bullying of some sort or other.
