SHOULD PARENTS BE ALLOWED TO HUMILIATE KIDS IN PUBLIC?

We have witnessed public humiliation being used by the courts as recently as last week when ajudge sentenced a woman to hold up a sign proclaiming that she was an “idiot” for driving on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.

For the record, the woman was sentenced to hold up that sign for an hour, on two consecutive days during the morning time when most school buses and parents driving their kids to school would be passing that area. She also had her license suspended for a month and was hit with a $350 fine.

I couldn't imagine having a kid that behaved this way.Cause when kids are disrespectful, it truly pi$$e$ me off. I am truly blessed with how my son behaves.
