A 10-year-old girl was forced to walk five miles to school this week after getting kicked off the bus for bullying. This is not national news, or shouldn’t be. There’s no reason why I need to know about the disciplinary measures taken against a 5th grader in Ohio. But it became a matter for public consumption because her dad, who meted out the punishment, decided that he needed to capture it on video and post the footage to Facebook.
The father, Matt Cox, drove behind his daughter, filmed her as she trudged along slowly, and narrated the event for the sake of the viewing audience. The video has since earned 15 million views on Facebook. Much of the reaction has been very positive, with people congratulating Cox on his wonderful parenting. Mission accomplished.
