Dad Makes Son Wear Sign For Using Drugs

A father says he wasn't trying to shame his 14-year-old son when he told the to boy wear a large sandwich-board sign saying, "I abused and sold drugs".

"I'm not out here doing this to humiliate my son", the father told a local TV station in Tennessee as the teenager walked up and down the sidewalk in front of the boy's school.

"I'm doing this because I love him", he said. "We do have an extreme drug problem in America, and maybe it's time for extreme measures that parents need to take to monitor this problem that we have".

The father said he recently learned after reading the boy's MySpace page that his son was involved with marijuana and OxyContin! That's when he decided to act, and the boy agreed to the punishment.

After a short time, the school's principal soon came out and asked the father to call it off, which he did.

By then the boy said he'd learned his lesson. "This is embarrassing. I ain't going to be doing it again", he said.
