She could be robbed by a BIPOC and she’d be the first one at the station making bail and providing excuses.

How did her embarrassment remedy any of the damage caused or prevent future misbehavior? What would have changed if she wasn’t embarrassed?

These are the times when I believe you're a character instead of a real person.
If I had embarrassed my Dad you can believe there would have been much more serious consequences than if I hadn't.

Because your dad isn’t my mom? She was embarrassed because her brother was the chief of police. I don’t even think she was living with us (my siblings and I) at the time. Why are you feigning surprise that people are raised in drastically different environments than you were?

In the early 70's we used the library to make fake IDs due we could enlarge r shrink an image. It was easy to enlarge a driver license so we could type in a new birthdate, the shrink back to actual size then laminate (after coloring in the photo)
Otherwise it was work at home, getting drunk while water skiing, then getting drunk at night

That much more reason that I would have experienced severe consequences.

Well, that's kind of an important detail to only reveal now.

Oh, I don't know...probably because I never said that or anything like it.
What I did was ridicule you for pretending that you couldn't understand the connection between the embarrassment of a parent by the poor behavior of a child and the actions that would usually follow that would affect future behavior.
I stand by that.

This both explains a lot and raises many more questions.

Yeah- I didn’t even know how to address that… it’s like explaining why water is wet to a dead fish.

And? From all the carceral system threads you've participated in, you have already demonstrated that you know that severe punishment doesn't improve behavior.

You should not be so presumptuous about other people who are simply doing the best they can in a complex and unfair world (and I'm not referring to myself here).

Embarrassment is primarily driven by ego, not care.

It may not keep truly bad people from doing bad things, but it 100 percent keeps marginal or good kids from crossing the line.
There's a lot of kids out there that are not inherently bad, but could be led in the wrong direction. A strong father and the threat of punishment is a huge driver of staying the course.
What even is your point in this thread?

COVID kids..... 2 years with LITTLE to NO: Instruction, Accountability, Responsibility, Parenting, Face to Face interaction, Discipline and direction.
Many of these kids did ZERO in school during KUNG FLU and got passed and will never catch up.
Talk to anyone in education and they will tell you it's bad in fact it's SOFA KING bad.
So COVID is partly to blame but so is LBJ

Your dysfunction. It sheds light on your dysfunction.
The question it raises, primarily, is why you’re so denigrating of men when it was your mother who was absent.
I didn’t want to say all that because it’s rude to comment on personal things, but, you asked.

Specifically…?
You refuse to respond with any substance. Just vague accusations signaling your own superiority.

More presumption.

It’s unfortunate society allows someone like that to procreate.
