Good for that judge. Public shaming might be the answer to overcrowded prisons. Stop them while they are young and perhaps they will learn a lesson before they graduate to bigger and more heinous offenses.

We don't need the courts..... We need parents. Mainly more parents like the lady below. She made her son stand out there all day Saturday.
