A Classic Example of Great Parenting.

A few days ago, a woman and her daughter went to see the movie, “Cinderella” in Birmingham, Alabama. Right behind them were two teenagers who made a show of “harassing” the poor woman and her 12-year-old daughter. After the movie ended, the woman approached the two rude girls to address them; “I told them they needed to realize that their behavior affects others and they never know what other people around them are going through,” she says. “For instance my husband was just laid off from his job and this would be the last movie I could take my daughter to for awhile, and they had ruined that.”

Back home, the teenagers’ mother was informed by her son who was in the company of his sisters. The mother was said to be furious at her daughters for their shameful behavior. She didn’t stop at that. She also promptly got on her Facebook page to make a public appeal to the victim of her daughters’ crazy attitude. She did this in the hope that the affected person would see the message. This was her appeal: “This is a long shot, but I’m looking for a woman that was at Tannehill Premier tonight seeing Cinderella at 7 pm,” she wrote while referring to the evening as her son explained it —the bad behavior, the confrontation of her daughters— and said she was humiliated by the girls’ behavior. “If you are this woman, please message me. I can assure you that these girls are being strongly dealt with and appropriately punished. This rude, disrespectful, and awful behavior is unacceptable and they owe you an apology. My husband and I are having them write your apology letter tonight and we would like to pay for your next movie and snacks out of their allowance. Please message me if this is you. I apologize profusely for their disrespect.”

The post was quickly shared around social media. The local Jefferson County Sheriff’s office posted the status, and from there it was shared nearly 47,000 times and got nearly 10,000 comments and more than 246,000 likes.
