“Big Brother” is watching…as you discipline your kids.

In today’s world of modern electronics (cell phones with cameras and videos, iPhones, Blackberrys, etc.), your activities and discipline with your children in public can easily be recorded, shown to authorities, and/or posted on the Internet.
You find so many “experts,” who may not think as you do in disciplining kids. Your verbal expression, your actions and your activities with your youngsters might not meet with their approval.
So….they decide to play the “expert” and record you. No matter that this is an invasion of privacy. No matter that they don’t have all the facts. If what you’re doing is different from what they think they would do, they find it a heady expression of importance in recording you, even reporting you.
Yes, there are instances when a child is in danger. But other times, the situation may be one for which the observer doesn’t have all the facts.
What do you think should be done if a child is throwing a tantrum in public? If you’re a parent, you’ve probably had to deal with this and may or may not have yourself reprimanded.
