I agree with her actions too. We never may know the whole story, but what
if this kid was a little shit that never listened to his Mom, and this was
her way of trying to *get* him to listen?
Living in the world we do today, with the kids being the way they are today,
I will *never* scold a parent
Doubt you will either. That's not sensational enough news. "Teen learns
valuable life lesson" ... nope, no blood or decapitation there.
And since many want to play devil's advocate, allow me:
What makes you think the woman wanted "15 minutes of fame anyway"? Did she
report it as a news item, or

If you say so. I did not read anything about what the young man learned
and when.

It was the public embarrassment that made such an impact, followed by
a good talking to.
Bring back the public stocks!

I think the only disagreement voiced here is, would your life lesson
have been enhanced if your father had also published in the local
newspaper your transgression and his actions?

When I was 10, my father saw me with a pack if Bubble Yum. Knowing I
had not been paid my allowance yet, he asked how I got it.
I eventually admitted it was from a "local" restaurant, and had not
been paid for. (about 3 miles from home)
He told me to go back the store, tell the owner what had hap

a) that is a different argument all together and not fit here. Stop
threadjackinig :P :)
b) Dont care whether it was open or not, driver is underage and shouldnt be
in possession. Again though, IANAL and definitely wouldnt have a clue what
the law states about UNDERAGE people having alcohol closed
Some things I see.
The son: You make the deal, you get to "deal" with the consquences of
breaking that deal. Although I doubt public humiliation was in the deal. Oh
well. You get what you get. Maybe if this kid was more "productive" at 19 he
could have saved up for his own car and insurance. Hell,
His 'parent' bought him the car paid for by her hard earned money. I assume
he still lives under her roof. I'm even willing to bet she paid the
insurance policy, and that the car is titled in her name. Therefore, sorry -
but parent's 'laws' are in effect here.

He's being punished like a child. An adul
I doubt he would have anyway.
I had a teacher use an embarrassing public punishment for me back when I was
in 8th grade. Granted I was much younger than 19 and more unsure of myself
at that age, but it was absolutely devastating to me...and that feeling
lasted for a LONG time afterwards. Even at 1
Oh bah! He's an adult. 19. Face the consequences. For heaven's sake, he's

I don't have any problem with her being strict. If she made it clear that
there was to be NO alcohol in the car, and that breaking this rule would
result in stiff consequences, then I applaud her for following through.
What bugs me is making this a public thing. I'm not r
