I applaud his decision to discipline his son, however this is a bit extreme.

I've never understood how people in a country obsessed with face could be so willing to take disagreements out on the street so publicly.

He shouldn't have stripped his kid in the streets cause it's obviously public nudity and breaks obscenity laws.

I have no problem with some corporal punishment provided it's limited and there's no weapons used (belts, switches, rulers, etc.).

As for a bit of humiliation, I happen to be a fan of "creatively appropriate punishment". Standing outside of some place with a sandwich board saying you shoplifted there or a street corner saying you abuse animals etc. is awesome.

Willing to bet that kid has either lost his addiction to internet games, or he'll run away and be a petty criminal anyways… 

Fork in the road

Giving a good spank on the -beep- a few times is extremely effective when used properly and sparingly, but totally leaving positive reinforcement out intentional mental and emotional abuse. 

 

Is that too much information from you again Elijah?

Oh naughty little boy….

Someone needs to punish you… NOT ME!!!

Hahahaha, kidding, I'll do it for a fee….

I sometimes put in too much info, but that's cause the only social skills I learned were scrawled on a cave wall and then through the internet when the cave got hooked up….

These threads have a way of seriously derailing don't they?

Thanks for the train-wrecks Crystal, can't look away.
