Hot Off The Net MInister Condems online video of Mother beating girl Minister of Gender and Child Development Raziah Ahamed yesterday condemned the posting the video on Facebook showing a woman beating her 12 year old girl after she posted indecent photos of herself on the site. Via a telephone interview Ahamed said: I have not seen the video ,but do you further embarrass a child when a child has stepped out of line? For the simple reason ,children experiment with behavior. You dont embarrass your children when they have done things that you would not expect. You engage in reasoning. Children are exposed so much. They are fragile. They are bombarded with so much information which gives them so much choice. I could understand when parents reacts in such a manner. We can do things like shouting ,but to create a counter-video to embarrass your child is not right. The opinion ion the incident expressed yesterday by Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) first vice-president Antonia De Fretias was that posting the video may not have achieved a healthy outcome for both parents and children. We are seeing an increase in people using social media for things that are not positive. The Internet is of interest for teacher when they are teaching ,but some of the students are transfering those ideas of negetativly to the class room. Exposing disclipine in the public domain is not going to have any kind of healthy outcome she would have hoped for the child. She will be targeted and labeled by her pairs.
