Good Parents or Bad ?
Parenting is not easy at the best of times and there is no formula for success..
What say you about this story ? Are they right or are they abusing the child ?

A teenage girl has been forced to stand by the side of a busy road holding a sign accusing her of 'disrespect' towards her family.
15-year-old Jasmine has had a number of behavioural issues, and the last straw for her parents came when she let a boy into her house in the middle of the night.
So they made her stand out near their home in Palm Coast, Florida, advertising her misdeeds for passers-by to see.
The sign held by Jasmine, whose surname has not been released, read: 'I sneak boys in at 3am and disrespect my parents and grandparents.'
The father said 'This is all about love,' he told WESH. 'I took my day off of work. I missed out on $300 or $400 today to do this. You know what I mean, to come and do this. I love this kid.'
The teenager unsurprisingly took a different view of her punishment, insisting: 'That's not love.'
She added, 'It's not just embarrassing them, it's embarrassing me too.'

I guess it beats getting acid thrown in your face.
Does the girl go to Doha College? Which is becoming famous for such behaviour after ASD?
Bad parents.......parenting is a challenge specially with teenagers, who thinks that they know everything but in reality they knew many things without knowing the repurcussions and fateful results of misdeeds.
many seemed to agree with the punishment..
"They need to learn a lesson and that's not abuse," said one passerby. "She did something, she's paying for it. You need consequences."
Frechies..
exactly..
this the the result of her parents lapses..
Such drastic and extreme steps are a result of desperation in the parents but not only its useless, they are making their daughter more audacious to do such things in the future and also breaking bonds of love and trust with her.
All I can say that the parents didn't do what they needed to earlier when things were not that bad. She is in teenage now and thus definitely 'fragile' and 'sensitive' for anything other than counseling.
What was she wearing? Was she friendly or smiled at these people? Perhaps she asked for it?
On the other hand
Were her parents vigilent? Did they have a security system? Did they educate her "properly"?
bad parents..
is another reason why this was bad parenting. While QDC was probably jesting, most guys around her neighborhood will now regard the girl as easy, and the parents might just find more boys sneaking out of their home at midnight!
Can I get her number?
I can think of many reasons why that's just not right. Getting your child to broadcast her wrong doing for all and sundry to taunt and judge her is plain horrible.
However it's not just her people will form a bad opinion about, in fact many might even sympathize with her despite her obvious mistakes and blame her parents instead.
Anyone would feel surely with folks as humiliating as this, any kid is bound to do what their daughter did.
Make no mistake, what the girl did wasn't good by any means, but there are plenty of better ways of disciplining her, rather than causing such scene and garnering unwanted attention like this!
I don't think it is abuse, but I do think it is useless.
