My own nephew tried the "You spank me and I'll call DHS on you." My brother backed down. Now my 13-year-old nephew is smoking.<BR/><BR/>Humiliation is nothing more than a variation of social pressure. Social pressure is used all the time to coerce deviant behavior. Humiliation in and of itself is not a bad thing.OzzyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370847672541662503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-1132355842338646342005-11-18T18:17:00.000-05:002005-11-18T18:17:00.000-05:00In Japan, people caught littering have to spend a ...In Japan, people caught littering have to spend a week cleaning up litter wearing a pink T-Shirt and baseball cap with the words "I'm a dirty pig" written on them.<BR/><BR/>Humiliation as a punishment might not be politically correct, but it's one hell of a deterent.<BR/><BR/>There was a similar scheme in England where people who speed in school zones can either pay a large fine, or visit the school, get up in front of the whole lot of them, apologise and answer questions.<BR/><BR/>Being asked "What would you have told my parents if you'd run me over and killed me?" will make anyone slow down.Pauliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709405037488442948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-1132344072132945432005-11-18T15:01:00.000-05:002005-11-18T15:01:00.000-05:00There is a judge in Texas that uses that exact sam...There is a judge in Texas that uses that exact same tactic. Humiliation works. It makes you stop and think. Especially well on teenagers who think everybody is looking and the world revolves around them.<BR/><BR/>In this world of politically correct and "feel good" parenting, it's nice to see a mom taking a stand and fighting for her daughter. And if she did nothing and the girl ended up committing some crime or something, they would point fingers right at that mom. Damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. Well done Mom!<BR/><BR/>~TGWoman atop her Soapboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525824805398920948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-1132342644482191482005-11-18T14:37:00.000-05:002005-11-18T14:37:00.000-05:00Yeah- to verify something.....the MOM was out ther...Yeah- to verify something.....the MOM was out there with the teen the whole time she was holding that sign. It wan't for long- just a few hours til the police came and made them leave- but they were there long enough for the point to be made.<BR/><BR/>I don't think it was over the top humiliating either- not with mom by her side.<BR/><BR/>I stick by my original opinion- GODD FOR MOM!!!!!!!!!Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560751901355240488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-1132339784589702832005-11-18T13:49:00.000-05:002005-11-18T13:49:00.000-05:00I think it's a decent idea.

It would depend on the teen.<BR/><BR/>I like it that the mom stood out there with her daughter, at least part of the time.MC Etcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561113882604526611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784861.post-1132281568038969372005-11-17T21:39:00.000-05:002005-11-17T21:39:00.000-05:00You know, I used to think that all child behaviour...You know, I used to think that all child behavioural problems came from a lack of parental discipline.<BR/><BR/>Then I met someone who's child is a Holy Terror, despite the fact that his parents had literally tried everything from taking away toys and priveleges, to pulling his pants down and giving him a damn good whuppin'.<BR/><BR/>If a parent has to wax creative sometimes to get a point across, let them.<BR/><BR/>If nothing else worked, I'd rather put my child through a few days humiliation, than have them leave school with no qualifications.Pauliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709405037488442948noreply@blogger.com
