Anyone see the kid outside CMS wearing a bright pink sandwich board sign? I was too far away to make out the sign. Is this some kind of punishment? He is by himself. The sign is hand written. 4951

@PedroDePacas: It just depends on how they feel that day.

Called the school to inform them. Not a punishment from school. Principal is aware of it.
 
I'm curious....does anyone feel this is an appropriate form of punishment for parents to do? What circumstances, if any, would warrant this form of punishment? I definitely think it would be a deterrent for future issues. 4951

I have never felt public humiliation was a proper form of punishment for minors.

I saw it. His Dad (or a male figure anyway) was standing off to the side. All I could make out on the board was that he stole from his Grandma or something along those lines.I'm torn on this - while I felt badly for the kid, I think the parents must've be at the end of their rope. (Or, at least I hope they exhausted every other avenue of punishment first.) I do feel like it's "airing dirty laundry" in a way.I also have to wonder if that kid goes to CMS - if so, than that's just another level of humiliation. It's just so hard for me to judge, not knowing the whole situation and emotions they all are feeling. 4951

@sweetie: I would never personally do this to my own children, but for them, just the threat of taking away their phones is enough to scare them straight. That doesn't work for every kid though. When my youngest was little I had to come up with some pretty inventive ways to punish her. I would send her to her room and she was happy to go. I would put her in the corner and she didn't care, I would threaten to spank her and she would say -go ahead, I don't care. But I figured out that she did not like people laughing at her, so when she did something really bad and knew better I had her stand in the living room and we laughed at her. All it took was once and after that just the threat of having her family laugh at her stopped her behavior immediately. Thankfully no harm came of this as now she loves to make people laugh and tries to get any role in her theater class that gets the audience laughing. Sometimes parents run out of options and have to use extreme measures to get through to their child. Who knows what this kid did, but maybe it will prevent him from committing crimes in the future or some other really bad behavior.

It would be nice to put a sign around both guardians saying " there is something wrong with me, i like to pick on kids!". The last time an adult picked on a kid in front of me did not end up so good for that person ....just saying hope this doesn't happen in front of me again because I will stick up for kids period. 4951

You dont know the story, you going to call out Ted Poe for him making people stand in front of stores they stole from with similar signs years ago?So I guess me getting my kids a nice short haircut ( a break from the hairstyles of now where the kids look like they intentionally missed their last 3 haircuts, or combed it with a caramel apple this morning)  is not a good approach.Please. 4951

Hey it could be worse - the Dad could have beat the child with a belt (which I got in the 80s).Like @Maisey1 said - different things work for different kids. I've found that taking away outside time with friends just about kills my child, so we use that as a punishment. 4951

I don't think humiliation works.if this kid is stealing from his grandma, then maybe he should be given crappy jobs to do to pay her back double what he stole. When my dds were young, I'd send them to their room (early teens) and it didn't seem to bother them. They had a tv, stereo, phone, etc. Didn't seem like much of a punishment. So I sent them to my room! I didn't have a tv or phone or music in my room and I'd go in their room and turn the music on low where they could barely hear it . Then I'd watch tv and talk on their phone. Now that to them was a real punishment. I only had to do it a couple of times. 4951

I have no idea what actually this is about as I didn't see it and am only commenting on what is posted here.I raised 5 kids and never had to punish any of them with shaming. Parenting doesn't come with a handbook, so much is on the job training and parents also might be inclined to parent as their parents did. Kids learn from their parents, if this child did something bad enough to get punished what was he taught by the parent? Yes, kids make mistakes even with good parents but that is part of the learning process. And as an adult I have made many mistakes and tried to learn from them. There are a lot better ways to teach a lesson than shaming. Forgive us Our Trespasses, as we Forgive those who Trespass against Us 4951

I see parents do this on Facebook. Knowing their entire family will see everything. They air their family's dirty laundry, trying to humiliate the kids, etc. If there if a personal family issue, Facebook is not the venue.
 
Public humiliation is never the answer. Instead, if the kid steals from a person or store, then they should be made to personally apologize and return the item, even work to pay off the item, but that is a relatively private exchange between the affected parties.
 
Take away privileges, electronics, extra chores, etc., but never humiliation. That stays wth the kid and can really screw them up later.
 
As parents, we all do those little things that embarrass our kids, but those are not intentional, and shoukd NEVER be used as punishment.
 
Now, this concept with adult criminals, is a completely different story. 4951
