An Ohio father's decision to make his 10-year-old daughter walk miles to school as punishment for bullying is causing controversy among parents online.
After Matt Cox of Swanton found out that his daughter was suspended from her school bus for bullying another student for the second time, he told her he wouldn't be driving her to school. She would be walking.
Monday, Cox shared a video on Facebook of his daughter walking along a road wearing her backpack. He was trailing her in a car. He said walking five miles to school in 36-degree weather was her punishment for bullying.
"I know a lot of you parents are not going to agree with this, but that is alright because Im doing what I feel is right to teach my daughter a lesson and to stop her from bullying," he said in the video. "Bullying is unacceptable."
