The Herald Online reports that the mother had tried other means of punishment with her son, but they just didn’t work
“The mother said she was ‘punishing her son for fighting and making homophobic remarks in school,’ the report states. She added that he has been having behavioral issues, and “corporal punishment has been ineffective, so she was attempting to embarrass” her son as punishment.”After her son's anti-gay remarks the mother shaved her son’s head, wrote the word “bad” on his forehead, put a wig on him, dressed him in a “women’s teddy,” tutu and boots, and then paraded him around Walmart to teach him a lesson on how not to mock gays.
Customers at Walmart saw what was going on and called the Police.
Rock Hill Police Department Captain Mark Bollinger said that customers in the Walmart “saw the family come through and thought the situation was ‘strange'”:
“Apparently what the child said about ‘gay children’ was inappropriate. We’re in the south and that shakes the conscience of people around here.”The police report does not include the offensive remarks the young child allegedly said at home or school, but Captain Bollinger said the officer who responded told the mother her punishment was “inappropriate” and called family services.
Captain Bollinger also said that the child was “young,” and the police report states that he is ten-years-old.
Speaking as a former child abuse investigator, Bollinger said even though the Mum was arrested, it’s unlikely the she will face charges, but she may be ordered to undergo parenting classes.
