Smart or shameful? An Indiana dad punished his teenage daughter, who keeps stealing, by posting a video of her wearing a sign, announcing she’s a thief. The cardboard sign around her neck read: “My name is Abby Mills & I am a LIAR & a THEIF. I’ve stolen from my parents, brothers & sister. Aunts & uncles. I even stole my 9-yr-old cousin’s Christmas presents.”

Gary Mills asked viewers to share the video “so everybody in the world will know my daughter’s a thief and I’m sick and tired of it!” The Facebook post has been shared over 6,600 times.

The angry dad also took aim at authorities, who he feels don’t do enough for problem juveniles. “Indiana does not have a program that allows teens to see what’s inside of a jail cell to keep ‘em out of trouble. You can call it a little tough love or a little tough justice. She’ll understand, I hope, and stop doing the stupid s**t that she does. So we’re down here in front of the Wayne County Courthouse, and she’s gonna be walking up and down the street with this sign.”

“My mother always told me that I’m gonna have a child that’s 10 times worse than me. Well, here she is,” Mills added. “Maybe this will teach her to keep her sticky fingers off other people’s property.”

Is this a parental fail or proper punishment?
