A mom in Sacramento who once again caught her son high on weed decided to make his punishment public this week.  Christine Drye got her 16 year old son, Dominiq, out of bed and drove him to the corner of Howe and Hurley, gave him a sign that read, “I’m stupid.  I smoke ‘weed’ marijuana” and made him stand there from 7:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.  You can read the full story here.  Of course, there are people who think Dominiq’s mom was too harsh on the boy, but he doesn’t think so.  Neither does his coach, who stopped to shake his mom’s hand. 

My kids are small enough now that the biggest problems I have are my daughters leaving their bedroom light on 24/7 and my son never picking up his Legos.  But if (hopefully not when) I have to ever deal with the kind of tough problem Christine Drye faces with her son, I hope I have the strength to dish out the tough love that she did.
