From the Advocate:
When traditional disciplinary methods such as grounding and even hard labor
had no impact on his son's behavior, Jose Lagares took his son to a
busy street corner in Killeen, Texas, Tuesday, and made him hold up a
sign that read, "I am a bully. HONK! If you hate bullies."
KCEN reports that Lagares received his fair share
of criticism for his decision, which is why he returned to the same
intersection Wednesday, carrying his own sign, reading, "I am not
sorry!!! Honk 2 Stop Bullying."
Lagares said bullying is a serious issue and that as the
parent of a bully, he's committed to putting a stop to his son's
behavior.
"I'm not going to allow my child to be someone else's
pain," said Lagares. "We don't need another Columbine … and I refuse for
my child to be the cause of that."
Lagares told KCEN that when his son returned to school
Wednesday, he apologized, of his own accord, to the student he'd
bullied.
