Thannx all. Public shaming used to be effective for miscreant or immoral behavior, not so sure now. Remorse and repentance are foreign topics to people these days, so I think shaming causes more harm than good, and is probably interpreted as bullying by young skulls full of mush.
Hopefully, this child will learn the lesson, but judging by how y'all described the mom's appearance and demeanor, it sounds more vindictive than teaching.
