I watched the video yesterday and it sadden me to see a father on the other end of a phone talk to another father who was hurting his child had been treated with such ignorance… So thankful his family is getting the support from this community my daughter attends.. I could only imagine I would have shared such a video!!!!
I applaud the dad who stood up for his child in an adult way and did not back down. The dad of the bullies has a long record ( mom too) of facing life in a way that suits and benefits them. I hope there is counseling available not only for the girl who was bullied and that the young people who bullied her will be conscious of the damage their upbringing has done to others and themselves. Maybe they will not know until later in life.
That so called father of the twins sounds like a drunken ignorant individual. God does not like UGLY, so don’t worry. The Lord will take care of him and his lack of parenting twins. Pray for them!!
Before you get to carried away seeing this man as a hero please know that the Knudson have also been contacted by the police this school year for harassing minor children, creating social media accounts to bully 16 year old boys, and enabling their son to bully a 16 yr girl and post very nasty and hurtful comments on twitter. This posting by him is extremely hypocritical considering the families actions earlier this school year.
The only problem I see is that the names of the Children are now public, they will now be victims of bullying for something they had force fed into them by their parents. I think re-education of these kids would be beneficial, while public embarrassment is detrimental. This is all on the parents of these ignorant children and should be treated as such.
Good for you for posting this. It’s sad to see we live in a society full of these ignorant, selfish morons. That father Daren or whatever his name is should be embarrassed on a while new level. He just showed the world his big of a loser he is. I wish I could use more hurtful words to describe him but it’s not worth sinking down to his level.
Good for dad, the girl’s friend, the school, the bully’s employer, and all the folks who helped to shine a light on ugly, cowardly behavior. In a case like this, public embarrassment is the only way those kids are going to see the real consequences of their actions. People can forgive the dumb things kids do if they have consequences and then turn it around. But if they get away with it and are still doing it a couple of years from now, they better be prepared to have their lives really destroyed, as their dad did.
The girl’s dad acted like a real man does. He stood up for what is right and protected his daughter.
This story, like many that have come before, is heartbreaking. The issue is real, and permeates throughout our neighborhoods, schools and the workplace. I am so proud of this father, who took a stand for his child. The core of the problem (hate) begins at home – what the children are taught – how they view the world and people. Mr. Puro needed to be shut down in a big way – it will send a message to his children and others, that this kind of behavior is not to be tolerated. Ironically, if you look at Mr. Puro, and the texture of his hair, it is obvious that he is not pure caucasian. Perhaps a DNA test will set him straight once and for all.
Part II
It seems that Mr. Bradley feels it necessary to apologize for his daughter’s reaction to this situation. I assure him, that he did the right thing in defending her. Children will laugh off offenses that are directed toward them, in the hopes of being accepted. Your daughter must learn that she is not deserving of this kind of treatment – whether coming from a white or black person. The language between black people is deeply rooted in self-deprecation taught many years ago. There is a huge difference between hateful, disparaging remarks with intent to wound, and child’s play. The true intent was made even more clear when the father took the lead in the onslaught. Mr. Bradley had good parents – Mr. Puro did not. That much is clear. Keep your head up, Bradley family. There are many of us proud of you today.
