Tough love or child abuse?

[nitwit]

---

i was in the city 3 days ago having a cuppa tea with friends when we saw this kid whose probably about 10 yrs of age. he was standing right across the road where we were with a tag hanging on his neck saying "PLEASE DO NOT COME NEAR ME AS I MIGHT STEAL YOUR STUFFS FOR I AM A BIG THEFT

right there and then i thought, you've gotta be kidding me! whoever put this kid in this kind of situation which is very embarrassing can be charged of child abuse . so me and my friends approached the kid and have asked him who made him do it, right beside where he was standing was his mum .

the mum told us that her 11 yr old son has been shoplifting he just couldnt help himself he steals at least twice a day! the cops have showed him already jail, juvenile detention and even locked him up for a couple hours for him to learn his lesson but none of these have worked!

the mum told us that her son put them in so much shame and thats why she resorted to shame him in public hoping that it might help that somehow he will realize what he did is just wrong!

but do you think this is necessary? would you do such thing to your child?

i think its just too much. . i dont think its necessary to shame your son for him to learn im sure theres another way. do you think punishment,threats and humiliations are way to go to discipline a child?

klepto siguro bataa. i don't think that will solve anything if psychological condition na.

but i've seen worse. i had cousins whose mom was so strict she stripped them to their undies and locked them outside their house. Take note, babae ni ako cousin ha. Imagine the shame!

Hehe...gi-train nuon sa nanay kanang bataa unsaon pag pabaga' sa dagway inig huma'g pangawat. Kun mao na'y pirmi buhaton sa nanay, basin moabot ang time nga ma-immune na ang bata sa public humiliation. Mas mo-grabe noon ang problema.

Kun klepto gyud nang bataa, ang angay buhaton sa nanay mao ang pagkonsulta sa doctor nga espesyalista anang problemaha.

mao. if compulsion na gani na siya no amount of threats can stop them. mao bitaw ni usa ka argument sa death penalty sa una.

example, if murder was punishable by death mao ni ang arguments nila why it will not stop that crime. this is because the person committing the crime is doing it:
1) out of passion. (kanang kalit2x lang or provocation)
2) premeditation. (the person committing is CONVINCED he will not get caught. i.e. organized crime)
3) out of compulsion. (the most difficult if not impossible to control motivation for crime. i.e. serial rapists, killers, pedophilia)

naa man gani serial killer sa communist country pila nalang kaha sa democratic?

I don't think shaming a 10 year old kid would do any good at all. It will just create a vicious cycle continuing into the child's adulthood. You'll often find people with criminal background also having a history of being abused or neglected as a child.

Nitwit, if this happened in Oz, I know they have very strict laws against child abuse; even the spanking of children is not allowed. Isn't public shaming of a kid covered in their child abuse laws?

The kid needs help, not punishment. I can't imagine doing such things to my sons.

I blame Sen Kiko Pangillinan kay siya ng make ug LAW nga dili ipa imprison ang juvinile offender sa juvinile prison adto raman sa DSWD nya i-release dayun.

the mum told us that her son put them in so much shame and thats why she resorted to shame him in public hoping that it might help that somehow he will realize what he did is just wrong!

but do you think this is necessary? would you do such thing to your child?
