How fast does your teen go?
By Mother | March 9, 2008
I came across a blog post today about a teen boy who was shamed by his mother for over-speeding. This 16 year old boy was caught going 107 mph in a 55-mph zone - WOW … soooo dangerous.
As part of his punishment, his car was taken away by his mom and for 1 month, he was to stand in front of his highschool before and after school holding up a sign that said “I was STUPID. I drove over 100 mph and got caught. Thank God! I could have killed me and my friends.” Some kids laughed at him but most of them understood the reason for the punishment. You can read more about this story here.
Would you do something like this if it were your child who was caught? I would - DEFINITELY. This will not only teach him a lesson but also those who know him. I am sure he will think twice about going over the speed limit from now on. What do you think?
