Dad Punishes Drug-Abused Son By Making Him Wear A Sign, "I Abused And Sold Drugs"

Knoxville, TN (AHN) - A father who wanted to teach his 14-year-old son a lesson and made him wear a large sandwich-board sign saying, "I abused and sold drugs."

As the teenager walked up and down the sidewalk Wednesday in front of Cedar Bluff Middle School, the father told WATE-TV, "I'm not out here doing this to humiliate my son."

He also added that the sole purpose of him doing this harsh act is that he "loves" his teenage son and wants him to stay away from deadly drugs. "We do have an extreme drug problem in America, and maybe it's time for extreme measures that parents need to take to monitor this problem that we have."

The man, whose identity is not revealed, said he was prompted to punish his son after reading his MySpace page where it was revealed that he was involved with marijuana and OxyContin.

Though the boy agreed to follow the punishment but was shortly asked by his school principal to remove the sign. "This is embarrassing. I ain't going to be doing it again. Drugs are for losers. That's all I can say," the teenager told the television adding that the punishment worked and he learned his lesson.

I just think that this is really sad. What kind of parent would do that to their child? "I'm not going to explain the possible dangers of drug use I am just going to publicly humiliate you"

Parents need to understand that if their kids want to do something they are going to do it and there is nothing the parent can do about it. I hope that when I am a parent I will know enough that there are going to be things that are out of my control and that I am open enough for my child to be able to talk to me without feeling like I am going to berate and belittle them.

Educate your children properly on drug use from a neutral perspective.
 
A small price to pay for saving another youth from America's Extreme Problem of Deadly Marijuana. Praise God.
 
Parents: Please tell your kids not to buy weed. They are increasing demand for the herb i love inflating the prices. if your kids dont smoke weed, i can smoke more for less. help me, say no to weed.

This is going to follow the kid through Middle school, and through High school. The punishment worked, great, but you fuked up your sons social life because your too ignorant, and paranoid to pick up a book about these drugs, and realize there are better ways to approach it!

Hey dad here's one for you, FAMILY THERAPIST! :X
 
If it were my dad, I'd stick a note onto his back that says: "WILL GIVE HEAD FOR CRACK"


For that kind of revenge it'd be worth whatever punishment.
 
What does more damage.....humiliating someone publicly like that or doing drugs? I would say that this might affect him badly more than drugs could.
 
This seems about as effective as making your kid smoke a whole carton of cigs in one sitting lol....

maybe after this embarrasing incident, the kid will become an alcoholic and addict to cope with the pain of being humiliated by his dad haha...
 
look at the bright side

now everyone in the school will know where to score oxy's!

and he'll make tons of money!
 
although this is a horrible way to get across your point of not ingesting drugs; I do think that the father was in a position where he had to take up some form of disciplinary action. it seems everybody is forgetting that the kid is only 14. however, I do disagree with the father's parenting strategy on drugs. he simply could have warned him of the future dangers and grounded him for quite some time.
