for busting his son smoking pot and gets $9100 for it at auction!! Bet that boy will consider his actions a little closer from now on! What do you think?? His dad is a teacher, do you think punishment was too harsh or not harsh enough?? What would you do in same situation??
Merry Christmas!!!!

It wasn't used, it was a brand new one for the Wii system that he spent months finding online!!

I am not a smoker but I have people that are and I don't have a problem with it, but I do have a 15 yr old son and I DO NOT want him to be a smoker, I have seen kids in my family with great futures ahead of them throw it all away because they started smokin' pot!!

I saw that story this morning. I thought it was great. If that happened to me growing up, the punishment would have been 10 times worse. I think it was fitting. Now maybe dad can put that in his kid's college fund and hopefully his son will make it that far :)

Wow $9100 for a used GH3? I wonder if the story is even true? I don't think the punishment is too harsh.
A friend of mine's son tried to break into his safe and steal some silver coins ( he didn't succeed) and my buddy sold me his son's Dreamcast and 10 games for $50. It was brand new too!
I think i got the better deal ;p The dad is probably going to buy some weed and smoke it with the $9100 he won, after all, if you remember the commercials the kid always learns how to do bad things from watching his parents lol

well its difficult for me to comment objectively with regard to weed cos i have pretty strong opinions - for me pot is socially acceptable. end of story. this is 2007.
so yes I think his actions were somewhat moronic, but he's probably just misguided and ignorant like most anti-pot people. Maybe his dad will invest the money in his sons future. That would be something of a silver lining I suppose.
by the way why the hell did he get that much money for a video game?

Merry Christmas, Bam!!
I agree with the punishment!! I would've did the same exact thing!! He was probably too big for a spanking, so he found another way to show the kid that wrongdoing won't be tolerated. Loved it!!

I think he knows how seriously his dad takes it, but I also think it was unChristmas of him.
If you're going to give a gift, give a gift. A token of your love, so to speak. Revoking it in such a public manner kind of screams "I did love you enough to get you this, but now I'm going to sell it and tell the world you were bad." Your token of love just became a brickbat.
I'd go another way with it, probably.

I don't think it was too harsh. But i do think it was disrespectful. Instead of considering his actions next time, he may just become work harder not to get caught because he doesn't respect his Dad any more.

The kid didn't get the game he wanted and the dad made a nice lump of cash... I think the dad won 2 times there...

lol it's brilliant. I don't think it's gonna make a difference with regards to his son smoking pot though. I think he will just be more careful about where he smokes it.

Too harsh? Anyone who says that is a freak!
If I were his parent, I'd go raid his room for more stuff to sell!

It's a good form of punishment. I don't think it was harsh enough though.
