Debbie Piscitella snapped.

She was shopping with her daughter Monday afternoon when her daughter saw the boy near Sears. That's the boy, the 13-year-old told her mother, the one who wrote on Facebook that the girl was so unattractive he wouldn't even rape her.

While I understand this Mother's anger , We are guided by what is Right and Wrong as adults . She clearly knew this boy was 13 or 14 years old . If you feel the need to address the problem... take it up with the PARENT....show the PARENT of that boy what he said on a public forum and let her discipline her son as she sees fit . If you don't like her punishment for her child , you must let it go , period .

This equates to the George Zimmerman shooting . If he is aquitted of murder charges , EVERYONE must let it go....unfortunatley , they won't .

I hate bullying. I invited over my sister's bully once. Had my targets in full view along with my weapons and martial arts belts. The blood drained from this kids face when i sat him down and said "So I hear you like to bully my sister..." He won't even look at her anymore!

The mother of the 13 year old acted very, very poorly and there is no excuse for her actions. I have two daughters and have been through something similar with my younger, autistic daughter (and she is not unattractive at all - but that doesn't matter). Adults need to act like adults. I would have copied and pasted every post made in that discussion, printed it out in duplicate and given a copy to the boy's mother, if possible. Then I would have gone to the school and given them a copy - and then to the police department. Document everything and make sure all those people/groups have those documents. When it happened to my daughter, I sat her down and talked to her about how some people act very poorly and say things that are downright wrong. I told her that she did the right thing in telling me what happened and explained to her that she is a great person and not to listen to idiots like that young man who made the comments to the girl in this story. My daughters know that I have their backs - no matter how old they get, and they can always come tell me things and know that I won't act like a raging lunatic unless their lives are in imminent danger and I need to save them... Parents, don't act like idiots. Handle things properly. Be examples.

She crossed a line. You don't choke someone like that, especially not a kid.
But the boy isn't innocent either. He's a little douchebag. Who says that? "You're so ugly I wouldn't even rape you". That makes me sick.

No adult should attack a child unless the child is physically threatening another. But Keysha Tipton, the boy's mother, is no gem either. Her son is human waste. "On Monday, the boy made ugly, sexual comments about her appearance. The girl didn't know him. She did know his girlfriend. Jim Piscitella, (girl's father) 47, said he got online and told the boy to knock it off. The boy responded with more explicit sexual comments about his daughter, an eighth-grader, he said." http://www.tampabay.com/news/...

When a 14 year old has no respect for anyone, young or adult, the parent(s) carries much of the blame. A child growing up in a household where the parents respect all others will be instilled with this value. Conversely if the parents show disrespect towards anyone the child will "learn" it's okay to disrespect some people. Sure, a kid will be influenced by friends but a parent should have an idea who their child, especially when very young, is associating with. Positive core values learned young will at least cause a child to question negative attitudes in opposition to the positive values. Disrespect was clearly set in this boy's mind. Ironically Tipton had taught parenting classes. Considering she doesn't even know her own son (giving Tipton the benefit of the doubt she isn'...

"Debbie Piscitella snapped." Emotion isn't a legitimate defense for violence. She will have to suffer consequences for the attack. But if Tipton had been a good parent we wouldn't be commenting on this. The incident wouldn't have happened.

Facebook is not really to blame for this. The blame rests with the children and the parents who allow their children to post on this without restraint. I mean, a 13 year old for the most part does not have the maturity or the smarts for this. And why are the parents not monitoring this. Before anyone yells, do you not monitor what your children watch on television, therefore, someone this young needs to be monitored. Children who have proved themselves to be mature can be given more freedom. Parents also need to talk to their children about Facebook and what to post and what not to post. In this day and age, computer etiquette is just as important as social etiquette.

If I had a daughter that was being treated the same way, I would want to react as the mother did. Does that excuse it or make it right? Not in the least, but I can understand why the mother felt the desire to act as she did. There is a difference though, between what we want to do, and what needs to be done, at times. She wasn't 'protecting' her daughter by doing what she did. She just let her parental anger(which is understandable) get the best of her and she does deserve to be punished for it. That idiot kid needs to learn some manners and how to treat young women though. I want to punch him in the throat just hearing that kind of crap.
