This is a funny one. We have seen recent threads about children who misbehave and ways to punish them. This one is pretty good, not only does it teach
the child what he did wrong but lets him no the consequences of stealing. He now knows that the community views those with a past life in crime with
different eyes. The child stood outside for two hours wearing that sign all because he refused to apologize to his mother.
At least this helps bolster the image of some parents who would rather discipline them, then slapping their child 1000 times.

Very interesting form of punishment. I have heard of some judges forcing people to wear signs or place signs in their yards. I would have to say that
it seems to be a good alternative to spankings or a slapping. Also a good form of public humiliation.

Brilliant!
I love it! It's an effective means of discipline, and child services isn't about to take your kid away for trying to teach them a life lesson.
Of course, it relies on the kid actually continuing to wear the sign...
Either way, I like it.
I remember leaving a wrench on the sliding table of the milling machine. My father grabbed the wrench, handed it to me, and told me to hold it out
straight, not to put my arm down.
He said "How long do you think you can hold that wrench up, perfectly straight?"
I said "Not very long"
He said "Neither can the table you left it on. Tools are hazards around machines, put them away, or you might not be able to hold the next
wrench."
I got the message pretty clear.
It's a good form of discipline. Show the kid the consequences of his actions, or at least make him fear the consequences.

I wish we could do the same to New York's Mayor Bloomberg. Hell, "Thief and Liar" signs should be the new uniform for all politicians.

Actually i think that is is not punishment but humiliation. I do not know what the kid did, but this he will remember and resent. No friends for x
days/weeks/centuries; throw away toys; no presents; other creative forms of punishment can work as well. Those will not be remembered. Kid is a
person, even nasty ill behaving kid. Public humiliation leaves very deep emotional wound that will take forever to heal.
I do not like current "kid rights" to extreme trend. It is kind of population reduction stunt in my opinion. But this does not feel right, though i
do not know what he did, again.

He was caught smoking and with money and cellphone that he stole from his aunt.
After all that and still refusing to apologize the kid is lucky he wasn't out there for any longer.

What ever happened to good old-fashioned domestic abuse? Gone the way of the lawn darts and asbestos I suppose.
