Active Parenting

So your kid talks back to you, gets horrible grades and sometimes doesn’t even show up to school. What is a parent to do?

Show them their future

Tasha Henderson got tired of her 14-year-old daughter’s poor grades, her chronic lateness to class and her talking back to her teachers, so she decided to teach the girl a lesson.

She made Coretha stand at a busy Oklahoma City intersection Nov. 4 with a cardboard sign that read: “I don’t do my homework and I act up in school, so my parents are preparing me for my future. Will work for food.”

Some local folks are just about shitting their pants after hearing about this,

“The parents of that girl need more education than she does if they can’t see that the worst scenario in this case is to kill their daughter psychologically,” Suzanne Ball said in a letter to The Oklahoman.

Mz. Ball is an idiot. She cannot seem to see that it is the worst case scenario/prospect of Mrs. Henderson’s daughter’s previous behavior actually could kill her physically, turning her into a statistic.

How odd that Mz. Ball would that a childs present psychological well being is more important than her future physical well being? I would lay money down that Mrs. Henderson’s child turns out more respectful and probably more successful than Mz. Ball’s child/ren.
