One Way To Teach Your Kid Actions Have Consequences.

[youngmafbog]

If only more parents took a tougher attitude with their bullying off springs.

Well done that dad

I'm quite strict with my kids if they have misbehaved but this is a step too far. I think the bloke is after his little bit of fame.

[jim360]

That's because you're a muesli-eating wishy-washy leftie liberal Talbot :P

[ummmm]

Togo...that's nonsense.

[Togo]

Of course it is......Over here the parent would make a complaint about the bus company and report the school. Accusing the headmaster of causing psychological damage to the little darling.

[ummmm]

Where do you get these ideas from?

[Spicerack]

Togo's right. And they'd have their 'sad face' mugs plastered all over the papers.

[mallyh]

if one of my children was been bullied by him i would applaud the dad for nipping it in the bud .

[Mamyalynne]

Seems I got it wrong for years, never once filmed and aired the discipline of my children.

[zebo]

Two separate issues here, the punishment was wholly appropriate but the obsession with putting the minutiae of one's life into the public domain is questionable.
An RSM did something similar when we were teaching in Germany, son had been in trouble in school so the father marched him, and I mean marched, back to apologise, then marched him home!

[ummmm]

Togo isn't right. And blame the press for printing pathetic stories.

[Barmaid]

I have no problem with the father's particular form of discipline. It's the self congratulatory "I'm the best parent in the world" video. If he were that good a parent, he'd have got on with disciplining his boy quietly and self assuredly and not felt the need to plaster it all over the www.

[ummmm]

If he was that good a parent why was his son bullying in the first place?!

[kvalidir]

We had no rules whatsoever growing up other than 'treat everyone else the way you would wish to be treated yourself and if you don't then expect that there will be a natural consequence to that', which actually meant despite the lack of rules we were brought up quite strictly, but we chose the level of strictness ourselves by our own actions.
My Father would have invented something similar to this in that scenario, and I don't think that's unreasonable at all, but he would never have dreamed of humiliating a child by posting it online and doing the whole 'look at me look at me, yay I'm a parenting God' video thing. THAT is what's distasteful about this, not the mile run to school, it makes the father come off as a bully who is using his child to make himself look tough or good, and possibly why the child bullies in the first place.

I agree with Zebo.

"Two separate issues here, the punishment was wholly appropriate but the obsession with putting the minutiae of one's life into the public domain is questionable. "

In a nutshell, we have a generation that needs to advertise ALL events.......look at AB for example:

Birthdays.....
Deaths......
Going on holiday....
What's for dinner.
Pictures before and after dieting.
Pregnancy updates.
Etc etc.

it is the way of modern life....get used to it.

No i wouldn't have used that method.....I would just have "thrashed" him and not told anybody.

just found that as an example of www adornment........

[Mamyalynne]

Seems humiliation is growing in popularity.

I recall a wet school summer holiday from hell and the girls were constantly fighting. We told them that a man in a white van would come and take them away if it continued. A couple of days later they'd been at it again and a white van pulled up on the road outside our house. Never seen them shift as quickly!
