I don’t know what to do as a parent. My son, who is 12, is very depressed. I regret my role in it. My son abused our dog badly and one day got caught by the police in the park, beating our dog and kicking the dog. He was arrested and when I got home, his father beat his b***. We got rid of the dog. Instead of spending 60 days in jail, a judge ordered a public humiliation punishment where my son had to stand in front of a convenience store for 2 days, 4 hours each day and hold up a sign that read “I’m an animal abuser. I got joy out of beating animals.” People cussed him out, threw food on him, some even threatened him.
While I thought it would teach him a lesson, I was so wrong. My son used to be happy. I very rarely see him smile anymore. He won’t allow me to hug him; he used to love hugs. He seems listless, going through the day like a zombie. He never wants to see his friends anymore and he quit his two after school activities. His grades are falling. Can a few hours of public humiliation do this?
Parents, please never hurt your children like I hurt mine. Punishment should be in private. How can I help my son overcome this? I think he’s also suffering the loss of his dog.

I used to go online, find girls to have online relations with. I was a teenager. It started from the start of high school, when I was 15. At worst was F, that was my bottom barrel. It was gross. I don’t know how old she was but she was younger. It was near the end, during the pandemic. I was older, she was younger. I don’t know how much younger, but I was 16 I think. She was younger. Like 2 or 3 years younger, I dunno? It was gross of me. I regret doing it but I fear my regret isn’t because of how I hurt someone, took advantage. They were ok with it in the moment, we were both on the same hookup site. But I was gross. No question about it. There was T too but that was a 16-18 age gap. I deleted the accounts. I was just gross.
