WTHR: Are a New Mexico mom and dad being too strict in punishing their teen son for theft by banishing him to a tent in the backyard?
Jacob and Angela Boggus chose a decidedly non-air-conditioned method for disciplining their 16-year-old son Adam after he stole his little sister’s iPod — and stole other items from his family before that. Since May 23, Adam has been spending his days camping out in the backyard. more
when i swore, i ate soap
when i told a lie, i had to take a tablespoon of tabasco
when i was disrespectful to or did not help my mom, i caught the buckle end of the belt when dad got home
if i lost a fight at school, i had to put on the boxing gloves and go five rounds with my dad
i love my parents
Sheriff Joe treatment… Think he is going to steal again?!
“I know I screwed up, so I don’t want people coming down on my parents about this. I know that they love me. They’re not trying to abuse me in any way. They’re only trying to show me that what I did was wrong.”
WOW, WISH MY BOYS GOT IT LIKE THIS KID!!
How do news people get these stories in the first place. And since the kid is 16, don’t the parents have to approve his being photographed, interviewed, etc.
I don’t think it’s any of my darn business what his parents do to discipline him.
Uneducated liberals fail to understand the difference between a spanking and a beating.
a tent? pure luxury! was settled in a snow drift and locked out for months… kids have it way too easy these days… 🙂 (was only hung right side up this afternoon)
Growing up in SoCal, I wanted to sleep in the yard during the summer, especially during Santa Anna season.
In this country we don’t cut his (eating) hand off.
I was a senior in high school before my dad had our home air conditioned. We stayed outside all day in the summer as it was cooler outside than inside. Anybody who has ever spent a summer along the Gulf Coast in Southeast Texas knows what this means. At least in New Mexico, it cools off at night.

Sleeping on the fire escape NYC. Still hot and muggy. Thank God (and GE) for AC.
refrigerated air saved America, and perhaps the world….I like refrigerated air….
@Anonymous-You were lucky to have a snow drift. All we had was a slush filled puddle, the 10 of us…
