A Texan father chose a unique form of discipline for his 11-year-old son, after he behaved badly in front of his mother.
Joesph Blakeney decided to embarrass his son by putting on a black dress and walking to the end of his driveway as the boy walked to the bus stop down the street, Houston's ABC 13 reports.
"When you want to treat your mum bad in the morning, you get walked to the bus stop by dad in a pretty black dress," Mr Blakeney wrote in a Facebook post on Friday.
"This dad ain't scared of shit... Lmfao he thought I wouldn't do it. Bet he will act better now!!!"
Mr Blakeney has the support of many online users, with some suggesting to escalate the punishment if he continues the bad behaviour.
"Tell him next time you will walk him into school like that," one user wrote.
However, psychologist Barbara Greenberg told Yahoo Lifestyle that Mr Blakeney's discipline methods may not have worked.
"You teach your children nothing by shaming them," Ms Greenberg said.
"In fact, what you do is you make them sad, and you make them more prone to engage in other kinds of problematic behaviour."
It's not the first time an American father has taken strong disciplinary action against his child.
In March, Bryan Thornhill punished his son by making him walk to school after finding out he was bullying people on the school bus.
