lkprescott said:#1 I wonder if it really worked. A tearful apology is one thing but if he still lies, what's next, the stocks?
#2 If this is the punishment for lying, wonder what punishment is in store for other infractions?
#3 she mentioned him lying about his homework being done... ummm... why wasn't she checking on this and working with the teacher?
#4 wouldn't this have a greater impact with foot traffic vs driveby traffic that probably can't even read what's written?
Reminds me of the scarlet letter though... not sure that's a good thing...
ChefBeckyD said:I agree with your points......but just wanted to say that I know exactly where he was standing - and it was at a major intersection, with many cars stopped next to him for every light - plus it was on the local news....so people did see it - I can't imagine what today is like for him at school - Jr Highers can be brutal.

I DO have to give this mom credit for being proactive and holding her child to a standard and for punishing the action. Too many parents are busy trying to be friends with their kids first rather than parents first, friends later and keeping the role appropriate. Too many are too busy to be consistent in their rules and punishments for breaking rules. WAY too many kids get into the workforce and adulthood thinking they can get away with anything or just say, "My bad" and it is over.

And now it is forever preserved on the internet where everyone can see it. Not only has the mom publicly humiliated her son, but she didn't do any favors for herself or the rest of her family. Very sad.Jean DeVries said:......And if it wasn't bad enough that he got humiliated in his hometown, the local "news" had to cover it and embarrass him metro-wide. Nice.
Shawnna said:From the video, I thought he was crying because he was sorry he had done the things he was doing. He said it was humiliating, but he didn't look like he was humiliated. He was smiling a lot of the time and I am sure he was a little embarrassed. Sometimes it takes harsh discipline to get your point across...tough love comes to mind. And, we might think it is harsh discipline for telling a lie, but how many other things has he lied about...what other things has she tried...If she doesn't get a handle on it now, it could lead to far greater trouble...even with the law. We don't know the whole story adn we are not mind readers so we really don't know.
