Timeouts don't always do the trick, but how far would you go to get your point across to your kids? One mother in Omaha, Nebraska took her children to a busy street corner for some prime time embarrassment. Hoping that they would learn a lesson in humility, single working mother of three, Christina Wilcox told reporters:

They'll learn by embarrassment. They'll learn. I've tried grounding them and disciplining them in every form and way, and this the only way I can get through to them.

Seven–year–old son Mason was being punished for stealing while his older brother held a sign that read, "I'll never have a girlfriend. I can't respect my mom." The five–year–old daughter wasn't allowed a reprieve for her thieving ways either.

What do you think of this mother's method of punishment?
