'I'm a bully, honk if you hate bullies': Father's unusual punishment for son
A Florida father has come up with a unique punishment for his teenage son after learning he had been bullying students at school.
Michael Yager found out his 13-year-old son, Jacob, had been bullying his classmates and came up with a solution, which would “embarrass him and make him feel the way that the kids (he bullies) feel”, CNN reported.
Mr Yager made Jacob wear a sign on a busy street corner.
“I’m a bully. Honk if you hate bullies,” the sign read.
The father said people started honking at his son and even applauded him for the punishment, but not everyone agreed with it.
“I had one woman come up and call me every name in the book,” Mr Yager said.

But Jacob said he had learned his lesson.
“You never know what someone can be going through,” the teenager said.
“If you want to be the bully and if you have something inside you to tell someone go to a guidance counsellor or something.”
