Kudos To You Dad...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A father says he wasn't trying to shame his 14-year-old son when he made the boy wear a large sandwich-board sign saying, "I abused and sold drugs."

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

"I'm doing this because I love him," he said. "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 wasn't identified by the station to protect the confidentiality of the son, but he appeared on camera. The son's face was not shown.

The father said he recently learned after reading the boy's MySpace page that his son was involved with marijuana and OxyContin. That's when he decided to act, and the boy agreed to the punishment.

After a short time, the school's principal soon came out and asked the father to call it off, which he did.

By then the boy said he'd learned his lesson. "This is embarrassing. I ain't going to be doing it again," the boy said. "Drugs are for losers. That's all I can say."

Ok so here's my take on this... since you knew I had to have one if I was sharing the article....

That principal needed to mind his own fucking business... first off... it was the parent that was teaching the lesson here... secondly... he should take a page from that fathers book...

if you had more kids wearing sandwich boards and walking the streets as a punishment to a crime... how many crimes you think they're going to commit...

I say Kudos to this father... good on ya... hopefully you helped stop your kid from selling and doing drugs... I think the principal needs to take a fuckin' chill pill and get on board... what happened to the kids being scared into respecting authority?... believe me.. it actually worked...

Maybe the principal needs to wear a sign and parade up and down the street that says "I'm a pussy walk all over me"

Why would he in his right mind think he was in a place to tell that father to stop...?
