Typical teaching and telling them things does not always work.. sometimes you have to get creative to get your point across.

I'm all for creative discipline, but don't believe in public humiliation.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I don't think it's nice, but I don't think it's the worst punishment either.

I think what the father did is a great idea. I might do that myself someday when I have children. Kids need to be held accountable for their actions. That is something that is lacking with the way parents raise their kids nowdays. I think the father is a good man who is obviously concerned about his child. i doubt the daughter will make the same mistake twice. she might "hate" her father but years later she will thank him for setting her straight. You cant always be your child's best friend. It doesnt matter if your kids "hate" you or not. What matters is how well they turn out.

Truthfully I really don't think this is even that bad, and i personally don't think there should be a right way to raise a child. Doctors and Psychologists are just giving advice that people think are truthfully right and they take it as the words from the bible, but In my opinion, if everyone was raised the same way, no one would be special now would they just my two pennies

He did so by making the 13-year-old stand at the corner of Stine Road and Stockdale Highway while holding a sign that said she was a liar and disrespected parents.

Clayton Delouth said it was a last resort and said his daughter had stolen money and items from him and his wife as well as a neighbor.

Delouth said while it wasn't meant to embarrass her, it was and added that the Puritans and judges have done it, "so, why not?"

But local psychologist Dean Haddock says that such a punishment will more than likely backfire and the best medicine is to open up the lines of communication between father and child.

Dr. Haddock says that if a child is acting out, like Delouth says his daughter has, it is probably a sign of a bigger underlying problem.

Haddock added that the best way to figure out the problem is through counseling and that can help parents figure out the appropriate way to correct a child's behavior.

Delouth says that if his daughter's activities continue, he may end up taking her to the mall to hold the sign again.
