So I have just seen a post on FB made by some guy who witnessed a woman hit her child in public. He took 3 photos of her and posted them in order to "name and shame" her.
Now I don't condone hitting children (she slapped him across the face), BUT, it could have been breaking point for this woman. She could be depressed and needs help rather than the whole country demonising her and rubbing her face in the mud. AIBU to hate this "name and shame" culture on social media. Surely a much kinder way of him dealing with this if he really felt the need to, would have been to show the photos to social services who would have been able to offer her support rather than plaster her face all over social media? Then at least hers and her child's identity would be safe from the public?
Am I just being a huge do gooder?
