Teen forced to live in woods after eating a pop tart
I read about this case on NZ news site yesterday. I did a Google search and here is a link to the article in USA Today.
It seems a bit extreme to banish a child for eating a Pop-Tart. I'm not sure if she stole the Pop-Tart or is not allowed to eat Pop-Tarts. I feel there is more to this story.
I don't actually have a problem with a teen being told to sleep in a tent as a punishment but I think a week is too long and it should be done safely, like as soon as there is a thunderstorm they should be brought back inside.
Aunty sent Jono and I on an outdoor adventure camp when I was 10 (was really a boot camp). They used similar punishments. Misbehaving boys slept outdoors as oppose to inside the hall but you were monitored.
