Dad shames daughter on camera, forces her to wear sign saying she's a thief & liar

I think this man went too far. You don't do this to your own child. An Indiana dad named Gary Mills shared a video of his teenage daughter on Facebook that show her wearing a cardboard sign that read,
"My name is Abby Mills & I am a liar & a theif! I’ve stolen from my parents, brothers & sister. Aunts & uncles. I even stole my 9-yr-old cousin’s Christmas presents.”
In the video that has since gone viral, the dad, who is filming, can be heard asking people to share the video 'so everybody in the world will know my daughter's a thief and I'm sick and tired of it.". Many have condemned the video but some are hailing the dad. What do you guys think? Did he go too far?

  10. no run comot for house? Shuu? Anyways my dad is too polished, educated n enlightened to even think of such. Sorry nne! Ur papa needs to be caged wit a crocodile. Mtchew!

  11. I'm in full support. The dad needed to take drastic action regarding his wayward daughter, and so he did. Sure her feelings will be hurt but its tough love, she'll learn her lesson now.

    ReplyDelete
  12. he's done well.. i'm more than positive the dad has tried his best to change her but she's deliberately refused, i hope she changes after this humiliation on both herself and family..

  13. We the family is asking for nothing but justice for our late father. He was 72 and peaceful, we did nothing to warrant taking his life with 6 bullets. We call on the federal government to please come to our aid, we haven't been able to even see our mourning mothers because our lives are also threaten and we are on the run. For our dear lives.

  14. No this is bad, he should have look for others ways to punish his child not this way nah.

  21. In as much as its obvious the man has had enough, dis is not the way to go about it as it would only make the girl lose her self confidence. Linda take note!Awwwww, may his soul rest in peace. Linda take note!

  33. The man must be crazy for such public disgrace.

  34. He went too far. He's also shamin himself, cos he's d fada of a thief

    ReplyDelete
  35. So gross! What kind of father does this???

    ReplyDelete
  36. The father is clearly not thinking of the future of the child and the implications of his action. While the biblical reference that you should not spare the rod is there, it doesn't however means that you should disgrace and "dishuman" your child that way..... Its wrong no matter what!!!

    Go dad. God bless you

    ReplyDelete
  49. So Linda seriously, are you implying that he cannot do this to his own child but he can do to other people's. Well this isn't a good way to correct a child there are better ways to correct. But Linda you go sabi do this kind thing to other people kids from the way you sounded o...Lol

    ReplyDelete
  50. Oh no!! Dis is certainly not how 2 discipline a child....mbanu!

    ReplyDelete
  51. He didn't go too far

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yes....he went too far.Not the best way.
    They need to help her and let her know is not a good habit

    ReplyDelete
  53. He went too far, that girl could commit suicide out of shame.

    ReplyDelete
  54. If we hear say this girl commit suicide tomorrow, may anyone nor blame devil...I think the parents went too far.

    ReplyDelete
  55. My dear Linda, it's not easy to raise a teenager. You think the dad hasn't tried everything in the world? Until you hear the full gist, that's the only option left for the dad.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Spare the rod & the child would rot. I like his move. I'm sure he's so so damn tired of it.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Went too far. This is not the right way to correct a child. Within the family mit be fine but to the world is totally wrong. It wud certainly affect her life

    ReplyDelete
  58. I think he was right, no one ever said there is a rule book on parenting and clearly he must have tried the conventional way of punishing her. We've all been teenagers before and know for a fact that shame goes a long way. Remember those kids in school that their parents come and flog infront of the rest of us and they get good due to shame why is this any different Linda? Her skin colour?

    ReplyDelete
  59. If nigerian parents can flog their child infront of their peers in school and it's okay, if her going to jail and going through a trial is okay to 'reform' her, why is this wrong? I think it's good, that will teach her never to steal again. Little klepto!

    ReplyDelete
  60. By all standards, this man went went too far. Granted that d poor girl commited all the alleged crimes, d father has no grounds, moral or otherwise, to virtually attempt to destroy the future(life) of his own daughter. More than anything, she needs more prayers and counselling. Definitely, not internet-wide humiliation. Or she might degenerate and resort to worse crimes. May eventually kill her father!

    ReplyDelete
  61. He's a stupid father who doesn't know how to correct his child in love.

    ReplyDelete
  62. We don't choose our relatives,otherwise dis poor little girl wud never have gone anywhere near the barbarian she calls her father. God will punish him 4 dis scale of humiliation he's put upon this young lady, it takes a thief to give birth to one. Anuofia idiot moronic monster of a mad man!

    ReplyDelete
  63. No he didn't. It was habitual and you do what you can to try to save your child.

  64. Well to some extent if it's gon change her den yes! Wen I was in high sch ma biology Teacher does Dis to students,dey'll ave to walk around sch wif d cardboard...somtimes its dier parents dat reports dem!

  67. He did the right thing, if he had done nothing at this early stage, the child might grow up to become worse...Linda when you give birth to ur own child,whenever she doesn't does bad thing keep covering it up until she disgrace u publicly..

  81. Extremely too far. Its d definition of love anger.

  82. Linda this is well deserved. The people going about killing, stealing, bombing...are they not people's children? This world is now something else. The earlier you start to set your kids straight the better. If they have the mind to steal at this age, then they should have the mind to suffer the consequences. Yaba the man done tire, is it until he is killed?

  88. Nawao he would have used other means na, that's why Nigerian parents are good, he would have used prayers or other means to make her pay this is not good atall. Dis might affect the girl socially and otherwise even getting a husband might become a problem, who wants to marry a thief. I don't support.

  127. If he does not shame her now that she is young, and can change, she will bring the shame ultimately to the entire family, and perhaps her city. In those days she would have been exiled. In Saudi Arabia she would have lost her limb. It is up to her to feel remorse and repent. The parents love her and will take her back. If the entire family got despondent why should we blame the father?

  129. If i am d daughter i will refuse to wear it over my neck. If he beats me, i will call the corps. Abeg he went too far. What if the girls changes and becomes born again in future, there will be nobody to marry her because the stigma will still be there. Such a girl needs church and counselling because she is not an adult. Maybe she is even a niphomaniac which is a medical and phychological condition. At least she only steals from her family members.

  131. This is the most stupid father I have ever seen. He should wear his own post with inscription '' I failed to raise my kid right'' Probably the girl took after her dad, this is a shameful disgrace to him and his family

    ReplyDelete
  132. some of the comments are ill judged. I think he did what he had to do and what he felt was appropriate. for him to come to this level of shame he has clearly had enough. How do we know if this girl has not brought so much shame to her family from her theiving ways? and the comment about no one will marry her because of the video, really?!!! there are worse people out there that are married, so your argument is utterly illogical.

    I don't agree with his action but I also have not walked in his shoes as the father of a theif. If she commits armed robbery tomorrow, you all be be the first to shout oyibo people don't discipline their children, now he has and we are still complaining.

    Nigerians...I just can't.
