I saw the thoughtfulness of your post until you got to this. WHAT?! This wouldn't be humiliation. It would be a crime. Parents don't get to hold guns to their children's heads and call it "humiliation". That's assault and child abuse. I just went back and saw the part where this actually happened to one of your students. I sure hope you reported this. It IS your duty to report this type of incident to the police, CPS or related agencies. This could prevent further abuse of this poor child.
