Social media has changed our lives in many ways—including how we parent our children. The ability to instantly share info has created the trend of "social media shaming"—the act of disciplining a child by uploading embarrassing photos and videos online.

For Arsenio Mcleod, using the Internet to punish a misbehaving child is one way social media should never be used.

The young father was disgusted by the recent "social media shaming" phenomenon. So he decided to turn the weapon on itself by posting a video that drew attention to the sad reality of this trend.

In the short clip, Mcleod is seen disciplining his son on camera. He yells at the child for a few moments before taking an electric hair clipper to his head. But right before he begins cutting the child's hair, he stops, taking a totally different approach.

He tells his son to get up, gives him a hug and tells him he loves him. He then addresses video viewers directly about the degrading practice.

"On this social media network," Mcleod says to the camera. "I've seen a lot of people do that and it actually made me cry."

Mcleod spends the remainder of the video talking about the horrible consequences that can come with publicly shaming a child.

"Humiliation can cause suicide and depression. C'mon, I'm 26 and I know better than that!" he said. "I do not respect that."

Hopefully, Mcleod's message resonates with other parents, stopping this degrading trend.
