Yes, I agree with this mom's form of punishment. Honestly she needed to do much more then that. I probably been punished in a humiliating way when I was little. I can't really explain. Yes, I would punish my child but in a different kind of way, like beat her. Why, because sometimes children needed to get whippings instead of just talking 2 them. If you keep talking to them they might do it again and again. But if you beat them I good time they wouldn't do that again.

I can see this punishment working in the mother's favor but I do think its a little harsh. I've never done anything as bad as shoplifting but I have been punished for my bad deeds. My usual punishments were timeouts and stern lectures from the parents, very rarely did my parents spank me. I don't think I would ever punish my kid in such a way. Though if he/she ever did something like this especially more than once a punishment like this would be a real possibility.

I do not agree with this mom's form of punishment.I don't agree because I feel like her child is young,and that she got embarrassed a lot already by just getting arrested and her mom finding out.No I have never been punished in a humiliating way. No I would never punish my child the way this mother punished hers for shoplifting.

I think this mothers punishment was a little harsh, but I do agree with her. Wearing the same shirt over and over again is nasty, but the girl has to learn someway. I haven't been punished EVER. I wouldn't punish my kids like that, but they would get in some other kind of trouble to make them understand.

I agree with her mom's form of punishments. One reason is becuase it not to hard and not to easy on the daughter. Another reason is she shouldn't have did that in the first place. I have not been ever punished in a humailitaing way. If it's something little it wouldn't be so hard. If it's big I would do the same becuase I wouldn't want my child to steal ever again.

I think that it's her child and she can punish her however she sees fit. I don't think I've ever been punished publicly. I would never make my child wear that shirt I would take her phone away and ground her not anything that bad because that could cause some serious mental issues.

Kiran said...

NOOOO! NO! NO! NO! You don't make your child wear her embarrassment in public. No freaking way. If I have been punished like that, I don't know where I would be right now. I wouldn't have the heart to do this to my child. Even if they shoplifted. There's always other forms of punishment. That momma's cray-cray.

I agree with the mother's punishment. All she had to do was ask someone to get whatever it was she needed. She was probably trying to steal something she didn't even need. That's what most people do that shoplift. At least she learned an early on lesson that I am positive she learned from.

I think this mother is doing what parents should do. I have never stolen and I don’t plan on it but I’ve seen people do it and I wish they would get in trouble so they would stop. I understand stores make lots of money but it’s not ok to rip them off they work hard to earn and you should too. This shirt is smart and yes I would do this when I get older because it teaches your kids not to do things. I also think if this mom has her kids living in a ghetto place where her husband gets killed and crime they need to move.

I do agree with the mom's punishment because thte girl needs to realize what it means to be embarassed. I cannot recall anything humiliating that I've had to go through for a punishment. If my child was caught shoplifting, I would definitely punish him in a similar way, so that he knows what it means to be recognized as a criminal. If she doesn't like the punishment, she shouldn't have stolen something.

I don't agree with this mom's form of punishment. I think that's really embarrassing. I do understand where the mother is coming from. I have never been punished in a humiliating way. I don't think I would ever punish my child the way this mother did. My child would be punished in a sufficient enough way but not in an embarrassing manner like this.

I agree that the mom should have punished the girl. If it was my kid I would have just beat there tail like my mama would have done. But if this was her way of punishment then be a good parent and do what you feel is right.

Emily Walker said...

I don't believe in this mother's form of punishment because its embarising for her child. I understand that her mom wants her to learn a lesson from it but from the video she seems like she has. I've never been punished like that and I don't think I will because my parents are very good at the way they parent me. I wouldn't punish my child this way, because I think its stupid.

Charlene Turner said...

In someway yes I do agree because her mom had to take action against what her child did wrong and the way she did it was her choice. No I haven't been punished in a humiliating way. No as a mother I would never try to punish my child the way this mother did when it comes to shoplifting because I would try to talk to my child about why and if I don't see any changes I would probably take it to the next level.

Allison Griggs said...

I do agree with the punishment because i think it really has taught the girl not to steal. I have never done anything to receive a humiliating punishment, but it seems like something my parents would do. I would punish my child like this. If she is brave enough to steal, she can be brave enough to admit to it.

Austin Hyler said...

I guess i agree with here moms punishment. Its what she gets for stealing stuff. I would punish my child like that to.

I agree with the punishment. If she doesn't like that shirt, then maybe she shouldn't steal.

I don't agree with that, think of something better like no phone for a long time. It is an embarrassment to both of them. I have never been punished in a humiliating way. I wouldn't make her wear a shirt i would take all electronics and no outside and clean the house. It is not a good punishment.

I agree with it to an extent, but I believe she may be taking it further than needed. I've never been punished like this, but I don't steal either. I wouldn't ever punish my child this way, although it may get the point across it's humiliating to the child.ZACH CAHALAN

I believe it would be ok to do it maybe once but not every single time she walks out of her own house. Actually I have when I was like 3 years old I was shopping with my nana and I started to throw a temper tantrum so my nana got down on the floor and threw an even bigger one right there. I would probably punish my child which ever way I thought I needed to when that time comes.

The parent did right. I think it will get the point across. She will learn one day. Sh*t happens. I've never had anyhtin glike that done to me. I will be a good boy to, just don't do that to me.

I think that is a bit dramatic because she shouldn't have to wear that shirt there are other ways. I have never been punished in that kind of way just soap in my mouth in front of friends. I don't think I will punish in a embarrassing way, but i will punish.

Honestly it is a pretty harsh punishment, but she kind of deserved it. I've never been punished in a humiliating way. They would have to do something pretty bad to get punished like that. -Josh Cutchins

Jameela said...

to me i think the punishment fits the crime . She shouldnt be stealing from any store . Maybe this would make her see that stealing is not the way to live . I think she is a very strong and indentant mother and she should keep doing what she is doing .

aaron said...

Yes because she will learn her lesson. Yes I would punish my kids like this.

I agree with the mom's punishment. If she was arrested for shoplifting. I would not punish my child like that. If they steal you take something that they love.

Maybe. I don't know it might be okay , but it's not that harsh of a punishment. Well the T-shirt is a good way to be taught a lesson but, it's not that harsh of a punishment. No, I would be punished by doing lots of work and I wouldn't be allowed to leave the house. No, Well punishing your child that way might be embrassing but it's not learning a lesson.

I don't agree with the mother's punishment. This punishment may have gotten the point across but she didn't need to embarass her child like that. No parent should want their child to feel the pain of embarassment. I just think that she could have come up with another form of punishment.

Katelyn said...

Yes I think this mom's form of punishment was actually not that bad. Some parents have done worse. She is trying to protect her daughter and her other kids. I have been punished in a humiliating way. I have gotten my tail beat in Walmart in front of everybody. I would punish worse to be honest. Shoplifting is very bad. It could lead to worst things.

Amber Furman said...

I think her mother might be taking it a little too far. She could have just taken her phone or grounded her. I have never been punished in a humiliating way because I don't get in trouble much. I wouldn't ever punish my child this way just because its a bit to much, but I can understand why her mother would be upset. Its her child so she has that choice to punish her that way and she is doing it because she loves her. I bet that she will never shoplift again thou!

Jamie said...

Yes, I agree with the mom's form of punishment. I agree because she shouldn't have steal. No, I have not been punished in a humiliate way. I would punish my child the way this mom punish her child. Because there are other options of punishing a child.

Makayla said...

I do not agree with the mother's form of punishment. She should have not took it to the public. She could have gotten her point across many other way's and this one was not one of them. She should have kept her business inside her household because she is the one who is going to have people looking at her and her family like they are crazy and no one is going to want to be around her because she may steal. I have not ever been punished that way because I have sense enough not to steal, I know that all I have to do is ask my parents and I got it. I would never punish a child in that way because it is cruel and whatever happens in my household, I am going to keep in my household.

Ashlee said...

I totally agree with the form of punishment that this mother made her daughter go through! I would never allow my child, when I do have one, to steal anything. This for of punishment is very creative and I would totally use it if my child stole something.
To my knowledge, I haven't been punished in a humiliating way. What child hasn't been told to be quiet in a store? That's normal.
