Extreme Parenting Part 5
I would not do this. This is a bridge to far for me. While I understand that her parents are trying to get her to see the seriousness of her actions, talking about your child’s sex life in public is just wrong. Jasmine is 15 years old.

And if she didn’t have a sex life, they wouldn’t be talking about it in public, now would they?? If she would obey their modest requirements like not inviting young men into her room at 3 AM – parents’ house and some strange teen boy inside at that hour? Wrong on several levels – and not give them and her grandparents a ration of ‘stuff’, then she wouldn’t be embarrassed in public, would she? She’s 15, not 21, not even 18. What method would you suggest to avoid the possible really really bad outcomes? What are they? (1) venereal diseases; (2) pregnancy; (3) having her parents robbed and murdered by the young ‘gentlemen’ to whom she opens the windows or doors; (4) miscellaneous bad things, like fires set by the child’s guests and like that.

I see nothing wrong with the way this was handled by this girl’s parents. Rewind back about 50 years and she would be BEGGING her parents to put a sign up instead of taking her back behind the woodshed.

I think I would rather getting a whooping as opposed to having my sex life put on a sign. All this is going to do is make her angry and more likley to act out. Talking about stealing or lying is one thing, but your sex life is totally another.

I think you’re probably right about the ‘unintended consequences’, that is, the girl will be angry and more likely to act out after being shamed. However, what do you bet that the parents would be charged with a felony of some description if they spanked or ‘whooped’ their child?? For an example, there is a judge here in Texas who was videoed (by his wife??) as he was spanking their then-15 year old daughter. The reason for the spanking wasn’t made clear, but the video was put on youtube and went explosive. The judge was suspended for nearly a year, IIRC, and was recently allowed back on the bench, but was instructed to recuse himself if he had to handle any cases involving parents spanking their children. Nearly lost his judicial position, even though Texas law does not make it a crime to spank your children. Message?? Parents who sincerely want to get their kids to stop doing dangerous and stupid things are in a quandry these days. Still, I stand by my initial comment. If the law and liberal bureaucrats didn’t view spanking the way they do, I’d recommend a spanking rather than the public humiliation, also.

I saw that video. That wasn’t a spanking, it was a beating. He belonged in jail.
