A mom and her roommate are facing charges after punishing her 10-year-old son. How? Making him dress in drag and then posting the demeaning pictures on Facebook.

Authorities say they learned of the photos after relatives saw them on social media and noticed the boy was visibly upset. Christle Prado and Keith Driscoll were charged with cruelty towards children and infliction of mental injury on a child.

If a parent does it then it's abuse.
If a kid does it he's exploring his sexuality and gender.

A little extreme for a parent, very stupid to post it on Facebook.

(Sign) The more I see of people the more happy I amwith the the company of my dog. Harsh discipline is seldom required to straighten a kid up, and shaming him in front of thousands , in such a manner as this, could be considered quite harsh. Thinking back to my formative years, I would have chosen a bull whipping over this.

That one thrashing would have been far preferable to endless beatings and shame in school. Where some people glean their "parenting" skills from is beyond me. Now, this poor kid has to deal with living in foster care, and all the joys that brings, his Mother in jail, and still has to take the torture of his peers.

I have to wonder what type of behavior could possibly warrant such punishment..???

If a father forces his daughter to wear male clothes by shaming her on Facebook he'd be deemed as chauvinistic sexist pig.

The mother who did this to her son is not a child abuser, but a sexist.

Just wait until this "mother" asks her son for help when she needs it later in life. When he says NO she will start paying dearly for her behavior.

I'm constantly amazed the number of idiots "gifted" with children.

It's something I'll never understand.
