You bet your bottom dollar my daughter posts pics of substance abuse or underage drinking at Facebook age..this will be her LOL. If you disagree, you probably aren’t a parent. What you post on the internet is more permanent than you think.—-S.P
Bestselling Christian chick lit author ReShonda Tate Billingsley‘s Facebook recently posted a Facebook photo of her daughter and it’s going viral. The photo is part of her daughter’s punishment for abusing social media.
The photo’s been shared 3,600 times and counting, with most of the comments regarding it being favorable. One poster’s commends Billingsley’s no-nonsense approach: “This is YOUR CHILD, not everybody else’s! You are her parent! I approve because if you don’t do it now, the jails or worse are waiting for her! Thank you for being courageous in training your female child to be a productive citizen of our world.” Another commenter opined, “I am so through with these uber-permissive parents telling us we’re invading our children’s privacy and embarrassing them unfairly by taking control and stepping up to the plate as moms and dads. Go, ReShonda, you have my full support!” Only a very small minority of poster dissented.
What do you think? Is it ever cool to publicly punish your child? Were you ever punished in full view of friends and/or strangers? Would you try this method with your own kid?

Dear Friends and Family,
I am writing you in regards to my friend Felicia. Felicia is a strong amazing young woman. Who was planning to get married this upcoming year, and start her family. She is a Entrepreneur and freelance photographer, unfortunately like many new small business owners she does not have health insurance.
She has been in and out of the hospital for is now in the position where she needs a life saving surgery that can only be made possible through the help of the community. The internet expands far and wide, I am asking you if you do not have a $1 to give to at least share this with your friends, the more people this message reaches the more chances she has to reach her goal, and get back to living a healthy and happy life.
It is my personal belief, no human being should ever have to risk their own health due to financial constraints or lack of health insurance. Being healthy should be a right, not a privilege. Beyond politics, she is in pain, and as a community we should all help her.
Here is a link from Felicia explaining exactly what her condition is, what her financial goal is and you can donate directly on here. http://feliciaolgilby.chipin.com/me-to-have-a-life-saving-surgery
Here is a link to the Facebook event to share with your Facebook friends, you can also see a video of Felicia describing her pain:

Again if you can’t donate please forward to your friends. REBLOG, REPOST…let’s show her community makes a difference and that the right to be healthy is not just for the rich!
Sorry I miss your dog more than I miss you.
