A relationship like this could happen if the mother is in a divorce or if they are very strict. i really dont think that it is repairable after what that mom did to her son. that is one of the meanest things i have ever heard. she could have just talked to him instead of putting all those thing on his facebook. it must really suck haveing a terrible relationship with your parents. your parents are supposed to be close to you. not to be mad at.

I feel that the relationship between the parent and the child became so unhealthy because of the divorce. And the fact that the boy now lives with his grandma is not helping to fix their broken relationship. I believe that the their relationship is not beyond repair and with some help I think that they will come to forgive each other and move on.

A 16 year old boy claims that his mother hacked his facebook account, changed his password, and put comments that the boy found mean. If it were me in this situation, i wouldn't want to repair the relationship with her. She could've brought it to his attention that she saw his status, and wasn't happy about it instead of hacking into it without his knowledge about it. Parents should be able to trust someone a kid his age.

A 16-year-olds facebook was hacked by his mother. She changed his password and put up personal information on her son. I think it could be an unhealthy relationship because of the parents divorce. Yes, i think this relationship is beyond repair. I think it wasn't right for his mother to do that to him. I know a lot of parents are worried about their child safety but that is pushing it to far.
ReplyDeleteI think the mother and son's relationship became so unhealthy because of the divorce. I also think that the fact he is living with his grandma isn't helping the situation. If they talked about it and tried to work through it I believe they could mend the broken relationship.
ReplyDeleteIn this relationship the boy should have any right to be mad at his mom for doing this to his OWN account on facebook. it would have been ok if she told him what she was doing to his facebook account. so the mom needs to keep him up on this information so he has some kinda idea of what she is doing

Basically what happened was, A mom in Arkansas would post rude or personal comments on her sons profile. I think their relationship go so bad when the divorce happened, and her son had to move away from her to his grandmothers house. I don't think this relationship is beyond repair, yes it was rude for the mom to do that but i don't think it was horrible.

ReplyDeleteA teenagers mom hacked her sons facebook passoword and posted unappropriate information. How this relationship is unhealthy is the boy doesn't live with his mom. I do not think the relationship is beyond repair it's just the internet and we're letting this technology ruin friendships and relationships. I think it is something easily to forgive.

There could be many reasons the relationship had gotten that bad one reason would probably be the divorce between the boys parents. Even if they did not have that good of a relationship the mother should not have hacked onto his facebook. I do no think the relationship is beyond repair I do think that it will take a while to repair it and it will be very hard for the child to trust his mother again.

A 16 year old boy had a facebook account and his mother hacked onto it and put personal information on his profile.I think that the mother should not have done that.It wasn't any of her business to be getting into especially because the boy was living with his grandmother at the time.If there was a problem or concern about him then the grandmother should have been the one to take care of the problem. I would definitely say that this relationship between the mother and boy is way beyond repair.
ReplyDeleteI think since the mom is not living with him I think she has no business getting in to his face book account the grand parents should of taken care of the problems

The mom had hacked into her son's Facebook account and posted bad comments and personal info about him on his profile. I think that the relationship started to become unhealthy when his parents had a divorce causing him to go live with his grandma. I don't quite understand why his mom had to post such rude comments and personal information about her son when he just had one bad status comment. Maybe, if she just had talked to him about it, the son wouldn't be so upset. I believe that this relationship is very close to being unrepairable. The only way it could be repaired is if they talk to each other about the situation and ask why she did it in the first place.

I believe that the charges are for a stupid cause. This family relationship is gone, and is a stupid way to lose it.

I think you can repair any relationship with enough work at it, But the mom posted slanderous comments so i dont see how conserned she could be.

I feel the article is a very realistic situation of a troubled student and their parents. Due to the divorce the relationship between them will be a difficult and confusing time, however it is not beyond repair. Every stupid little mistake can be fixed in time.

Good insight from all of you. It’s sad when parents pit child against another parent in a divorce situation. It’s always the children who lose in this situation. Many of you brought out the fact that the son was living with the grandparent, hence proof of an unhealthy relationship. Good observation. However, love between parent and child is so very strong. I pray the two can come to some type of agreement and get past this incident and start building a healthy relationship. Many teens and young adults don’t see eye-to-eye with their parents. The young adults want to cut the apron strings while the parents are holding on tight afraid to let go because they fear the child may make bad choices that will have devastating effects on their life. In these situations, as the child grows older (25 to 30 yrs.) relationships often grow closer. The child is less resistant and the parent lets go more. Give your parent a hug today, they love you and only want the best even though you may not always see eye-to-eye.
ReplyDeleteThis relationship is completely destroyed from what this mother did to her son. The mother is not even living with the boy which make the matter even worse. The mother got herself into this and i don't think the boy will ever forgive her.
