A video of a Virginia father's unorthodox punishment for his bullying son has gone viral.
Bryan Thornhill shared a Facebook Live video on March 1 showing his 10-year-old son running to school in the rain as punishment after he was kicked off his school bus for three days for bullying another student.
In the video, Thornhill says that he "does not tolerate" and "cannot stand" bullying, and refers to the unusual punishment as "old school, simple parenting." The father of two also claims that since his son has been running the mile trek to school every day, his attitude has vastly improved.
"Ironically, since he's been running to school this week, his behavior's been much better. Teachers have approved of his behavior this week," Thornhill said. He hasn't gotten in trouble this week, where last week, he was just absolutely out of his mind."

Good idea to punish the kid.
Bad idea to put it online.
Next visit CPS.
Bring a little bit of focus into the young mans life.
>>We had a lot less ADHD kids back then.<<
That is b/c the standard diagnosis for the ailment of being a boy is ADHD.
If today’s standards had been in place when I was 10 I would be so drugged up I would still be in my childhood home (and mom an dad are long-passed).
I noticed the fatazz dad wasn’t running with him
We ain't skeered !
PARENTING ... ho !
You're part of the problem.
Have a feeling the dad has first hand experience of this running punishment.
Dad should be charged with abuse. I understand the need for discipline but this is really bad—optics and reality. He is further reinforcing the bully—Dad in this case. Kid will emulate. Very sad current and future for this 10 year old. 10!
why should dad have to run? He was not the problem.
My wife considered her driving our three kids to school a privilege for them. When they abused that privilege with their mouths or behavior, out they went. A nice 1 mile walk to school did wonders for their attitude and all three are now wonderful, quality, young adults.
And no, she didn’t walk with them.
No kidding. How many self entitled snow flakes did you unwisely raise AP? Any of them now with BLM or ANTIFA?
I really hope you forgot the sarcasm tag.
The cop brought him home, and the father had the kid mow the cop's lawn and rake leaves every Saturday through the entire summer and fall. That was the last time the kid every caused any trouble. LOL.
No, I didn’t. I have twin 10 year olds. I was abused by my dad. What this is is abuse. He should be in jail, counseling or something.
Stuff like this is what made me call you a leftist before.
This post you posted is insane.
I probably sound like an old man but... for me this was called going to school.
That is exactly what my daughter said.
Dad appears to be a cyber bully. Not real good.
You have friggin got to be kidding me. Dad didn’t raise a hand to him. He punished him. It is like when I was a kid and screwed up my mother made me transcribe pages out of our dictionary. I ended up with a wondrous vocabulary, am able to write faster than most people can type and learned discipline.
The kid got a workout and odds are he will not be acting the bully again soon.
What this is, is adequate punishment.
He should be in jail, counseling or something.
He should be on the cover of Parenting Magazine and get a personal reception at the Trump White House.
