Nothing wrong with this punishment. Better than a parent who blames the school.
36 degrees isn’t freezing.
Good punishment!! Good Lesson she WOULD have learned had this not become public!
Three miles maybe, but not five. :-)
I hope he walked with her. 5 miles would allow for some much needed conversation.
I have to admit that five miles is a bit far for a 10-year-old to walk... at least unsupervised. If dad is willing to walk with her (which he should) then this is appropriate.
The punishment is no punishment if the parents have to drive them to school...
Well, my Dad had to walk 6 miles to school every day for 12 years when he was a kid. No bus in the rural area.
My kids had to run 6 miles every day for cross country track.
My only concern would be, in this day and age, that some one would abduct her, so I’d probably want to find a different way, if it was my kid.
Quite right. That’s good parenting.
Bullying is a learned behavior. What is the source ?
That daughter will turn out to be a much better person than Hillary Clinton, Moochelle, and ANY of the clown cast of CNN.
....Gosh, I wonder where she learned to bully others....
Wise dad.
Not enough facts here. These days the term bullying is frequently used in the education system for those who won’t affirm and embrace the homosexual lifestyle or otherwise offending snowflake adults.
Heh, considering kids will spend the entire day on the ski slopes when the local schools have a snow day, I don’t see what the big deal is.
When I was a kid, it was 10 miles, uphill, both ways, in snow 8 inches deep (all year) ... and we were lucky to have FEET to walk on...

lived in cold climate and my parents thought nothing about me having to walk to school in the cold but I was not 10 years old I was 13-14 years old... I question the wisdom of sending a kid out that far at a young age. the cold part is no big deal if the kid is bundled up properly.
This is another B.S. “look at me, look at me” story that today’s sick MSM loves and unfortunately so-called social media promotes. The video is staged. The kids being filmed walking while being followed by a car shooting the video. Attention seeking family.
Had a two mile walk from age 8. I had a bus I could have waited for. On a cold day you would freeze waiting for it. By walking you generate heat, burned calories and stayed warm. I enjoyed walking.
I walked to and from school every day, whether it was -5 or 90, from 5th grade through high school.
Several of my grandchildren also walk to school. It builds perseverance. It’s a good trait to have when life hits you with a problem the Democrats can’t solve by taxing your neighbor.
Gee...I wonder how kids got to school before every family had a car, and before school buses?
It was probably 75 degrees year-round, right?
Oh well, on slow news days the media has to grovel for a subject.
That is amazing! In Alabama, freezing is below 32 DegF. Ohio is apparently different.
