I wonder what’s in these parenting classes. “It’s not your job to discipline your child. That now belongs to the state”.

Surely there is more to it than that? $200 fine for what? What is the problem with walking a mile?
“Had to sell the car to pay it though” should be his next words.

Totally goofy that some islands in the middle of the Pacific are part of this country.

How old is the kid? Does that dumb judge have a suggestion or just the usual tripe?

The father pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge.
That was his first mistake.
Well, maybe not his first. I would like to know the age of the child.

Uphill? Both ways? In six feet of snow? To listen to my Dad tell it, the kid had it easy...

The idiot judge calls that hike home “old school”? He never met my Dad.

And maybe if he made the kid to a mountain top it would be a mile, uphill through the snow.

Please tell me that there is more to this story...
Like Dad was chasing him down with his car.
Or he was beating him with a stick the entire mile.
Or something ... walking one mile is a 'treat' (particularly in Hawaii in May)... Not exactly your Bataan's Death March.

I’m glad i was never punished.
We live a little less than a mile from our school, therefore, ineligible for the school bus service.
My daughter WALKS to school occasionally if for some reason, I cannot take her to school on my way to work.

I wonder what they will do to him for taking the $200 out of the kids allowance.
To: Behind Liberal Lines
The article doesn't say how old the child is. Was he 15, or 8? The judge also noted that the child would have had to walk home along a highway.
If you read the original source:
Father punished for ‘old school’ discipline
Hover over the link, and you'll notice the domain is "thegardenisland.com". That's Kauai. And the man is identified as living in Kilauea, which is on the north side.
I've been to Kauai, and spent a week just up the road in Princeville. The only highway in that part of the island is a two lane road, and there aren't any sidewalks.
At first glance, this is outrageous. But, if you dig a bit deeper, you have to wonder if the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I walked half a mile almost everyday to school through the best 40 acre field that ever was. Two stock ponds, 2 1920’s cars, one 200 foot hill, one creek, wild blackberry bushes, skunks, o-possums, racoons, snakes, spiders, squirrels, ducks, geese, cats, dogs, motorcycles, trails everywhere made by all the kids in the surrounding neighborhood. No cell phones. Amazing I made it to school on time.
