Humiliation as punishment – 11-year old Kendrick Taylor learned a lesson he won’t forget anytime soon after he stole a couple of bucks from his mother’s purse. As punishment, Kendrick’s parents made him stand on the grass in front of his family’s home with a sign around his neck that read, “I am a thief, I steal from my parents.” According to the parents, many of the passersby stopped to tell them they thought the punishment was a good idea, but they also realize that others might have a different opinion. “It’s not child abuse. He’s not being mistreated, just humiliated.”
