A Florida mom's alleged attempt to shame her child into earning better grades in school led to her own shameful arrest for child abuse.
Melany Joyce Alexander, 30, is accused of beating her middle school daughter with a metal-studded belt before sending her to school with a T-shirt flaunting the child's failing grades, WFTS reported.
The handwritten tee shamed the child for earning Fs in all of her classes and further warned her friends — and any prospective boyfriends — to "back off before I get another good woopin like I got last night."
"My (days) eating French Fries and being a social butterfly is over because I know why my parents send me to school," it reads in black ink.
It adds that she is prohibited from having friends until her grades are brought up to C's or better.

i hope mom fights the government and wins. this is overreaching on the governments part.
A little overreaction on the mothers part. She needs a lesson on properly disciplining her child!
Maybe when she "properly" disciplined her child it resulted in failing grades. Let the liberals tell you how to raise your children. Look how well it's improved education in America.
Okay with the t-shirt thing (aside from the spelling), but the studded belt was over the top. Shame goes a long way.
Why isn't this kid in remedial classes? And if she is, why was the mother kept out of the picture?
