This is for the people who want to say this is child abuse...this is parenting. Let's get this straight if you are a parent you didn't have kids so you could be their best friend. You had kids because you wanted to teach them and see them grow and "have a better life than you had". Kids these days need more discipline. We have become a way too tolerant society for bad behavior and we are afraid to punish our kids because it is not "politically correct" and there are other ways. A stern lecture does not make a point...standing for hours outside carrying a sign makes a point. How about we leave parenting to the parents and stay out of their business when it comes to what punishment they decide.
