Shameful Fame
It really seems to be a growing trend to do something completely moronic and then post the evidence on the Internet. This generation is sick with a "look at me, look at me" disease. From girls flashing the goods on Instagram for likes to beat downs glorified on tape.
I get it. Sometimes something so crazy happens that you just have to share it with your friends but there is no filter and boundary with these young people. Have you ever heard your mom say "what happens in this house, stays in this house". PSA to today's moms: make sure you say it. If you spank your kids as a form of discipline, that's your business. Once the video of you spanking your child ends up on the net - it's subject to media scrutiny, police investigation, child protection groups and your neighbors thinking you are a bad parent. Everyone becomes a critic and it is their business because you decided to share it. Not every event needs to be documented and shared with the world - the world doesn't see these events in the same light you do.
On the other hand, some of these idiots are blessed with the ignorance to show themselves to the world. I say blessed because they are unknowingly stopping themselves from themselves. Case and point - the video of two little girls fighting each other in a Bronx park.

So what if thy fought?
Kids fight everyday...
The difference is that these babies were pressured into fighting each other by their older siblings (17 years old). Who idiotically were fighting over candy. The video was posted online, ended up at a news station who then called the police.
I watched the video and tried to see what could possibly be so humorous and couldn't find a thing. You can clearly hear the "adult" filming telling one of the children to "slap her". What are they really teaching these kids? I'll tell you what they are being taught.
They are being taught to be disrespectful, to be rude, to do anything for 15 seconds of shameful fame, to be another statistic and that being ratchet in the street is okay as long as it gets attention. This is what happens when you lead by faulty example. What will happen when everyone shakes their head for the billionth time and forgets about this? It's crazy to think how far it can go. What will they do next for the spotlight?
