Is Dad's Bullying Consequence a Punishment or Abuse?

A father decides to punish his kid for bullying another student at their middle school. So, he had his youngster hold up a sign that explained what he did and the consequences of his actions, took a picture of it, and shared it on social media. Here's the full story.

Part of his punishment includes apologizing, landscaping and doing exercise at 4:30 in the morning.

This dad obviously is doing something about his child's inappropriate behavior, but some argue that he's going about it the wrong way. They claim that public humiliation makes things worse, and that the exercise in the morning is a form of abuse.

I want to know what you think. 

My two-cents: the bullying inflicted upon the other kid may actually be the abuse. Had the father decided to strike his child as a form of punishment may have been a form of abuse. but, to wake up early is not abuse in my book. To exercise is not abuse in my eyes. And, to have to wear a scarlet letter on social media is a way to remember what one does has consequences.

Three cheers for the dad of the year!
