Australian dad who choked his stepdaughters bully hailed as a hero but was he right?

After his stepdaughter was being tormented by a bully in school, Mark Bladen took matters into his own hands.

The 53-year-old Australian father recently spoke with 60 Minutes Australia after a video of him choking and abusing his stepdaughters alleged bully last month went viral.

Bladen said he wanted to give the teenager a good old-fashioned talking to but after the alleged bully kept smiling, he snapped.

Im not proud of it, he recalled. I was sucked in, I let my standards drop and, you know, Doctor Jekyll came out.

His stepdaughter Kalani, 15, told the broadcast she was being bullied for her body hair, pushed and was spat on over the course of six months. While she kept most of the details from her family, one afternoon she called her stepfather crying and told him the bully was at a local skate park.

I was OK with it I dont like to see my daughter sad and crying and telling me that shes useless [and] she cant do anything, Kalanis mother Jennifer told the show. Both parents said the bullying has stopped and after the encounter, Bladen was fined $1,000 but criminal no conviction was reported, 9 News reports.

And although he regrets his actions, Bladen told the show he still doesnt think he was a bully, I would say that I was out of order.

When it's kids, it's "bullying" but if it were adults, it's stalking, harassment, assault, criminal threats and just general abuse. -Tmk

Can't really blame him at all tbh.

Not that I advocate actually hitting children (or anyone really) kids are little shits and will rarely stop their spiteful attitude just because an adult tells them off.

Fair, next. Mid to late teens is more than old enough for that to be justified.
Hopefully everyone else laughs at his dumb ass for bullying a girl then getting choked out by an old man for it and he stops being a douche.

Fair next.

Long as no lasting harm is done a little intimidation towards bullies is just fine. Not like schools or the bullies parents bother handling the problem.

It's hard to sympathize with the bully. Bullying has led to victims committing suicide and Authorities either can't or won't do much against a juvenile bully. To be fair, we don't know all the details of this case and I'm not saying we should be Ok with violence over a taunting smile. I hope they resolve this situation.

He was probably just caught up in the interview, and wasn't paying attention to what he said. A mistake I could easily make.

Schools are basically screwed on the bully situation. If they do anything, the bully's parents will crucify them, and if they do nothing, everyone else will crucify them.

Yea, its insane how its basically a non-issue for schools. Just yesterday a video went viral around here of this highschool kid who was punching another student with mental problems because he thought it was funny. Then this other dude comes in from out of nowhere and clocks him right in the face to make him stop. The only person who ended up getting in trouble was the guy trying to defend the one who couldn't defend himself

If the bully's parents cared about what their child was doing, the child wouldn't be a bully. It is until it effect them will they say anything to defend themselves.

While I cant say what he did is a good thing I understand and I am glad at the outcome that he received. I dont think it was a jail worthy offence if it was his first and a fine is acceptable.

Yeah, I was pondering that same thing earlier. This method looks more gratifying, but would probably land you in jail:
