If I broke the record for giving the most speeches about dead children while we sit back and do nothing during my presidency, I'd probably be crying too.

Maybe because the man has a heart and kids of his own.. Granted I haven't been a huge fan of Obama, but the way republicans have acted his entire presidency shouldn't be applauded either.

Believe me, I'm not sticking up for what she did. Just offering another perspective. I think it was a poor decision to put out that type of information. I'm an adult and I would be very upset if someone released my phone number. Granted, I don't think I'm a nasty person and I sure hope that no one is out to get revenge against me.

However, I do think that the anon was in need of some sort of accountability. That punishment should been directed in a different manner though.

Parents on the board- What would you do if you found out that this was your kid? And, that the phone number was released. Would your perspective change if it was your child?

I would take my CP's everything imaginable to access social media. I am sure I would old fashioned spank her behind, too. Block all the numbers that were now texting her phone, if not change her number, delete all of her social media accounts. She would not be going back on social media period for a very long time. But I have hopefully preached to her enough and showed her other examples of what not to do, cautionary tales of what can happen. Plus I follow every account she has. She has to give me her phone at night on week nights, too.

So I just watched the first episode of usa networks Colony, I can already tell that's gonna be a good (bleep) show, if your into those kinds of series, kinda reminds me of the movie district 9 which I loved.

As a parent, I would have preferred to be contacted myself. I get that some parents wouldn't address the issue, but I would hope that would be the first step.

Not having any skin in the game, I think CSP definitely "stooped" and looks not much better than the anon twitters. I understand wanting to protect her gym, kids, coaches, and athletes, but unfortunately she looks just as childish. I am 100% for accountability, but not sure this was the right way.

Schitt's Creek starts in 7 days. I can't wait.

I read that aloud and started laughing.

The Killing Field is so good. I highly suggest watching it.

Quite honestly, if I found my daughter tweeting anonymously the vile things that I've seen the last few days, she wouldn't have a number to be worried about anymore. The phone and the cell number would be gone. Poof.
And she would be writing a long apology to each gym owner she wrote nasty things about.

If I found out CP had an anon cheer account, she would need to run for her life because being called out would be the least of her worries. However, I would likely pursue legal action at the releasing of her telephone number. I also understand it would be within CSP's rights to pursue legal action against my child and though I'd find her an amazing attorney, it would be her bed to deal with.

However, I think a lot of this stems from the fact that kids have way, way, way too much access to social media accounts before they're ready, are being allowed accounts at a much younger age then they are really ready for, and truly don't understand how the internet works in terms of privacy. I'm not cocky, but I feel pretty confident that this won't be my future child---but assuming it is, she wouldn't be putting up a half-assed affluenza defense that is for sure.

We touched on this in the instagram thread on the main board, but I see this twitter bullying bs getting bigger over time. One, I don't think we realize how much we surveillance ourselves which should scare us. Two, how many of the thousand future wildcats or future smoed are actually going to make it? What happens to the percentage that doesn't? Do they just disappear---maybe---but there will be those few who remain bitter and hateful, only they won't necessarily be anonymous with their 100K followers who will back them up. All it takes is the wrong attitude surrounded by enough people egging it on, for disastrous situations to occur. And this isn't just a cheer fandom thing, I've seen it in fanfiction, I've seen it in music, hell I've seen it in World of Warcraft and video games...it's this thing that society is becoming almost too complacent with and that kinda scares me.

If this were me, and I'm not CSP so I won't speak for her, I think she handled this situation appropriately up until she released that phone number and only as an irrationally, frustrated mother/owner. I personally would have just contacted the police and FBI, pursued charges and been done with it, but that's just me---and then people could whine about a child's life being destroyed because what CSP did didn't ruin or destroy this kid, what I would have done absolutely would have.

So CBS released an official statement that Michael Weatherly is leaving NCIS---I want to go cry in a corner now.
