I gotta say I love what she did but i'm on the fence about the pic of the kids. Children need to learn that there are reactions to thier actions and alot of these "parents" don't teach them. What this mother did was pretty much what happens to adults, if you are careless with your car you lose your license or even your car, wreck someone else's property you have to pay for it.

"All those people who think this mom is terrible - you are the reason kids today are out of control, lazy, whiners, who think they should get whatever they want. It's probably your teenage girls making death threats to those who stand between them and Bieber, and your kids who are bullying others into suicide. Kids today have no empathy and no consideration for other people and other people's property. And what about the kid who shot his own brother in an Apple store after a dispute? Sometimes parents need to go over the top to send a message to their kids and to get them back on the straight and narrow. At least she didn't beat them"

If that ain't the damn truth lol and yes it's a slow news day lol

The fact that the set of Beyblades (people still collect them these days?) received 18 bids makes the situation more amusing.

lol that kids face is priceless (the little one), he's pissed.

Good. Kids suck and should not be happy ever.

This is parenting done wrong, there is no way to defend this at all.

If it takes public humiliation for you to teach your children to be respectful of property you're a bad parent.  They either did this once and got this punishment = bad parenting. Or they did it many times and the mother did absolutely nothing to correct them (which is more likely given the amount of damage), then all of a sudden flipped a bitch, which still equals bad parenting.

Yep, that's bad parenting alright.

OMFG! using bathtub as a bayblade arena! why didnt i ever think of that when i was 10 playing with my bayblades

We do that in our society already, you can get mug shots of people arrested all the time....we found one of my gfs mother lol. I have two boys around that age and i can tell you that even if you correct them right away they may still go back and do it again, I was the same way with an old tv my mother got in germany. My parents caught me messing with it daily even after being put in the corner, spanked and yelled at lol.

so whats the problem here?  the children destroyed something and have to pay for it.

lol i used my bath to play with bayblades years ago, but after awhile the bath looked pretty bad so i can see way shes angry because my ma wasnt to pleased
