We need more concerned parents like this in the world!
An enraged father, Brad Knudson, has made an emotional video calling out two teenagers who bullied his adopted African American daughter over snapchat, the way the father of the bullies responds is repulsive!
Kids can be cruel, yes, but it's the way the other father reacts to what his children have done that is so repulsive. The problem isn't that he isn't setting an example for his kids, but that he IS setting an example and it's a very disgraceful one. It's clear where the bullies learner their behavior from and it's disgusting.
Parents have a responsibility to raise children to become decent, respectful adults. We live in a society of many races, backgrounds, and lifestyles and it's heartbreaking to hear of so many instances where families either stand by, or teach the very behavior that leads to bullying.
It was learned after Brad made this video that his daughter actually had a part in some of the behavior as well. I think it speaks VOLUMES of him as a parent that he came forward and was honest about his daughter's involvement. He is not hiding. Regardless of his daughter's actions, the message remains the same, and it's one that needs to be heard…enough is enough…BE PARENTS!
"I would like to thank everyone for their support. I just found out our daughter did not take this issue as seriously as Wendy and I. The n word is something I was taught at a very young age was not appropriate. You hear nowadays a lot of songs by People of all color use this word. You also see videos that they use this word. I have never liked it I've always thought it was inappropriate that they used it. I have now found out that my daughter during the WCCO interview decide…d to use Snapchat and send people videos of her thinking that this was a game and it was funny and she actually uses the N-word twice. Regardless of your skin color I and my wife do not tolerate this word our daughter is going to be reprimanded in an appropriate manner. I am extremely saddened and disappointed because of this video she has discredited the message that we wanted to convey. I hope that this does not stop our efforts to highlight the issues that still remain regarding bully and the effects it has on children. It is still truly an epidemic and social media has allowed us to bully individuals 24 hours a day seven days a week no matter where that person lives. Wendy and I are still dedicated to highlighting this issue and help educate our young people on the effects of bullying and how to deal with bullying. Again I want to thank everyone for their support getting this message out."
