Debate starts over public scolding

I saw the video on FB which created quite the heated discussion on one of the guyanese groups.

first of all....why the heck did she video and post it??
second....i notice that lots of licks fly, but lots of them only just brushed the girl. so i don't think the mother's intent was to be brutal....but she was definitely acting out of anger and fear for what her daughter posted on FB and went overboard with the licks.

as a mother, and knowing the dangers of 'sexting' and the outrageous and inappropriate pics that too young kids are posting......I would have been angry and fearful also!!

i remember as a teenager, at a family function, my daughter went off for a walk with a young fella without telling any adult (she told her cousins who would not for the world betray her).
so first.....i was so scared when we could not find her
and next....angry like heck when i saw her mosey on back with the fella.
but as angry as i was (and she knew it) i did not scold ( and certainly did not hit her) in public.  but in private she got a good yelling and lecture.
