Watch: Mum Publicly Shames Daughter, 13, Posing As 19-Year-Old On Facebook
A Denver mother, Valerie Starks, posted a video of her publicly shaming her 13-year-old daughter for saying she is 19 on Facebook, and posting racy pictures.
“You’re 13,” Valerie says to her daughter. “So why does your Facebook page say that your 19? Are you 19?”
Her daughter says, “No.”
“You’ve got a Facebook page and you’re on there with your bra on, right?” Starks asks the girl. “Is that what you do?”
When the girl starts crying, Starks continues, “Don’t cry now. You wasn’t crying when you was posting pictures on Facebook, was you? In a bra? Some little girl in some lace panties that you know you don’t own. You still wear panties that say Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.”
Starks told 7NEWS she was floored when she found her daughter’s racy Facebook profile and the grown men she was connected with.
“She’s had issues with Facebook in the past, at least four times in the past,” Starks said. “She spent half of last summer on punishment after being on Facebook, and it wasn’t even half as bad.”
Starks said she explained to her daughter why she posted the video, which has now been viewed more than 10 million times.
“I said, ‘I did this because I love you not because I really wanted to embarrass you,'” she said. “I wanted to make a statement and a stand for all parents that this is not going to be tolerated.”
Most of the people who have commented on the video have supported Starks, while others have been critical, asking whether humiliating a child is good parenting.
