[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something very, very similar is happening to a teen in my extended family. The mother of one of her peers, a member of the offended minority group, started a social media account where she posts photos of the "bigot", a 15-year-old girl, [b]at her afterschool job and outside [/b]her school and home. Lawyers are involved. [/quote]

Why/how are lawyers involved? That sounds potentially excessive, but photographing someone in public probably isn't illegal. I assume there's much more going on here than just that example. If people (old enough to do better) do something wrong & shameful, they can expect that to become part of their reputation and bring embarrassment and shame. [/quote]

I'm not a lawyer and I'm not privy to the discussions, but there is a case for harassment, from what I understand. I disagree that teens should be punished *forever* for this kind of stuff. Relative has been disciplined by her school (private, so they have a lot of leeway when it comes to issues outside the classroom) and her parents, and her reputation has certainly suffered. I disagree that this type of behavior should haunt someone forever. And I think it's grossly unhinged for an adult to target a minor in this way, regardless of the offense. And in this case, it was much milder than using the n-word, in my opinion.[/quote]
