Well, now everyone knows who to ask to get drugs for them. He'll have a few opportunities to make some extra money now.

im sure whatever self righteousness instilled once dissected properly will lead him on the right path.Humility may have not been properly dispensed from his father if he is lacking the nurturing of a loving mother.It may be the introduction of the natural pecking order to be experienced by father and son as a learning experience to draw them closer together.Its a crossroads in there relationship as im sure the father knows.Of course he may be saving his life.But his intervention tactics may need the guidance of a certified abuse counselor from this point forward.

I don't know, I think its more of an advertisement than humiliation. I do hope it works.

I don't believe that I have seen any studies that show humiliating a drug user works; in fact most people turn to drugs to mask the pain of life and block out nasty and ignorant people like that dad. Dad has a serious problem and the entire family needs counseling, but esp that kid who is involved with a serious addictive drug. Drug and addictions are far more fatal than just about any disease out there, even cancer, with about 60% of users dying from their addictions in 6 to 10 years. Very sad. I know you all think the sign is funny and humiliation is a dark and evil humor, but that family is in SERIOUS trouble. Pray for them all.

He probably made a lot of friends, this could've turned out better than he hoped for ironically.

Yeah, I have to agree. Was that dad advertising FOR or against drugs. Making the stuff out as a pariah only encourages the little buggers who always do what their parents don't want them to do. I'm glad that principal called it off.

That kid got off easy. I went to Catholic school and had a friend who was chronically late for school. His mother's punishment was to make him dresss up in his sister's school uniform and walk to school. It cured him of his tardiness. Of course he turned out to be a drunken lout. But I think he was destined for that anyway.

This father has become aware of what alot of parents do not find out till it is too late! This son is lucky that his father did not deny the sons drug problem.
This may work or it may not, it will be up to the love & relationship between father & son! (I pray that it works)
Some kids just have to learn the hard way, despite the parents intervention.
Thank BB, great article.

yeah, i think the reason why you are skeptical is because drugs and masking the pain of life go hand in hand. dad is only adding to the pain, if anything. the entire family needs counseling.

I do not think humiliation works. This will only cause peopl e to go into hiding about their problem.
Think about how many people are on the streets and still looking for drugs. Drugs and alchol make some bottom out, but I think people look for a way to numb the pain.
Also, what about the kids chance of getting a job and going to college. Dad really blew it for him. No future with the fbi here. The only good thing is the kid will not be able to fight in Bush's war.

If hes on drugs then maybe hes smart enuff to know not to join the military because he heard nasty rumors about latex gloves probing his orifices and such.Maybe his dad drags him down to the recruiter all high.Maybe he reads nutscape and hates the smell of oil while hes tree hugging and realises it aint worth dying over a roadside bomb because dirty sanchez took his daddys job.Maybe hes a hairfarmer and his dad really just wants him to get a haircut.Maybe he caught his dad standing at attention, bouncing a chicken wing on a string.Maybe so,Maybe no.Maybe hes got connections and doesnt need daddy or the military.maybe he just got busted.

I'm also not sure that humiliation is the best, but sometimes it does serve it's purpose. In this day and age, we are very fettered on what we are supposed todo about discipline, and discipline I also believe is a necessary life skill. I feel common sense has been forgotten, along with moderation.
I don't see how this could mess the kid up with the FBI or military should he choose, it didn't say he was "busted" by anyone other than the parent.

I don't think there is a right or wrong way of trying to help your kids to stay off drugs except denial. Hopefully this will help his son get his act together. Better to humiliate him now then to see him in jail later.

The son said drugs are for losers, sounded like he got the message, and he meant it. I think some of the other druggies will stay away from him because they know his Dad busted him.
Middle school- sad so young to be doing that, but better to catch them young then older when the chances of being too late are far greater. Now that Father and Son can have open communication about drugs. How can that be a bad thing?
I'm not against pot, but I'm all for putting it in all the legal ways of alcohol, and that means NO minors.

Kids will alway find away to get alcohol and tobacco and then illegal drugs as well. I'm not saying it's alright for them too, I just think it is. I mean it was 35 or so years ago for me and I remember trying ciggerettes and alcohol first before going on to any other receational drugs.

Yes, we boys have fragile egos at anytime in life, whether as teens or old men. Humiliating him in public was pretty harsh. But damn, a 14 year old selling pot and oxicoton to schoolmates? Maybe some private humiliation was needed. I would hold off on public humiliation until they are at least old enough to go to prison.

Yea, that should really help his self esteem. Took me years without much of a dad to have confidence in myself, my skills and experiences. The reason came through The Forum, and that is people are dangerous to themselves, hence to others.

I have a lot of respect for the Dad. Parents need to do more and whatever actions necessary to rear their children properly. It's not to humiliate his boy that the dad did that. It's purely out of LOVE for his son that he did that. When the boy becomes an adult and mature enough, he'll understand why his dad did that to him and would even appreciate the humiliation. It's LOVE, people, LOVE for his kid that he did that.
Pop, you rock!!! I really hope your son learns his lesson.
Good luck.

Kids like this harbor revenge. As sure as the sun rises in the east, this kid will do something like making an anonymous phone tip that his father is a pedophile. Just the accusation ruins lives. If I were this father I would not be so smug, this kids going to get back at him.

Coming from a view point of a teenager who smokes weed everyday. Punishing doesn't work, Telling them your dissapointed in them doesn't work. When i was at school getting in trouble over some bs and they told my dad something related to drugs and thats all i heard for hours. All it did was want me to smoke more and get away from them. Let it be who are you kidding? The more you nag and badger causes more problems. Think you can monitor your kids in all that they do, your just stressing yourself out. I can see if their a heroin addict or something but for smoking weed better off playing oblivous like my dad is starting to do because he knows thats the only drug(plant) I do and im smart about it. Just my 2 cents for you parents. Since most parents are scared to talk about it. Also if and when you do stop caring let them do it around the house or a back deck or something just so they ain't around driving or in a park where they might get arrrested.

"Also if and when you do stop caring let them do it around the house or a back deck or something just so they ain't around driving or in a park where they might get arrrested."
That's the dilemma for parents with kids experimenting with drugs. To be a friend and enabler or parent and disciplinarian. Unless the parents smoked too, most parents would not allow it's use in their homes. It is illegal and they would not want to go to prison for your habits. So hey, keep sneaking around and don't get caught. But your parents have every right to forbid the use of pot in their homes and if you get arrested, it's on you and not your parents or friends. If you are going to do something against the wishes of your parents be prepared to take responsibility for the consequences.

Well, Lyquid, being a parent myself, I don't nag or badger, never believed that as an effective way of parenting, though my own mother would tend to disagree. It is part of our parental responsibility to "monitor" our kids, so respect that aspect of your parents. My son is 18, and living under my roof, I still monitor his activities, and he still give me the courtesy of letting me know what he's doing, though some stuff, I really don't think I need to know :) I do understand and believe respect is earned and not a foregone conclusion, although as Parents, I do believe we are due basic respect, unless there's a darned good reason, for that respect to be lost. Same goes for kids, they should also be treated with respect, as best way to teach is by example. [Oh off sub. "Teach your Children Well", by CCR, great and simple song.] Communication, not nagging, is probably one of the best and effective tools a parent can use.
Good post in all Lyquid.

Here's some better rules:
Smoke weed sparingly. It's much better than achohol, tobacco or any other drug as a stress reliever but like any good thing can be harmful excess. Jerk off as much as you want cause that, too, relieves stress and will make you less likely to have sex which could end in a pregnancy which you really don't want right now. And read the Bible with a critical mindset so you can be an informed atheist.

This is the Best one that I have heard in a long time.. Kids need to Be taught that there are rules and most people live By them... Tough love is hard, But to many fear to use it...I does get results...
We have gotten to lax in treatment of our kids, the media seems to thank that the kids are the world, and adults are nothing anymore. Its time to change the focus of the media..

From childhood, most Americans are hooked on sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and cigarettes. In The MacDougall Plan, Dr. John MacDougall advocates a vegan diet without oils, sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol or tobacco. I've been free of all intoxication for 16 years, and plan to remain like this the rest of my life.
But just as millions of Americans don't drink, but don't mind others drinking, or alcohol being legal, I also don't mind ADULTS around me using mild forms of intoxication.
Over 400,000 marijuana arrests are made yearly, costing the nation billions in police and court time and prison space. Judge Richard Posner, a leading legal expert, advocates decriminalization:
"It is nonsense that we should be devoting so many law enforcement resources to marijuana. I am skeptical that a society that is so tolerant of alcohol and cigarettes should come down so hard on marijuana use and send people to prison...decriminalization is a sure route to a lower crime rate."

Oh this is nothing! When my husband was caught drinking a beer walking down the street as a teenager he got a punch in the face, some ice and sent to his room for a week! Not that that was the best way to handle it but it shows times have sure changed!

Um, I feel for the kid and it goes to show that parents are having trouble coping with this issue. When I was 15, my dad caught me smoking. He bought a carton of Chesterfields and tried to make me smoke them all. It didn't stop me, as a matter of fact, I smoked 2 packs a day for the next 15 years after that.
What he should do is put his kid in a 12 step program and support him that way instead of pilloring( or however you spell that word)in public.

Hmm, interesting way to discipline the child, hope it gets the desired results. I'm not sure he was truly publicly humiliated, depending on his personality, he may have enjoyed the notoriety.
One of my disciplinary promises to my son if he ever messed up was showing up in school dressed in my men's flannel niteshirt, my duck boots on, gunk on the face and frizzed out hair. Unfortunately living in a rural/farming community, he didn't see this as, well horrid. So....

Tough love is never appreciated in one's youth; but often when the youthful grow up they understand the reasoning of the actions and are thankful when looking where they are instead of where they may have ended up.
