    Seems like he might be punishing himself already, no need to pile on. This could be a teaching moment for both of you. You teach him it was potentially harmful (which it seems you have by taking him to specialists), you teach yourself that compassion, empathy, and being “cool” about something like this might get you farther than the whip

    But I don’t know you or your kiddo, what your relationship is like, and really if he’s punishing himself. So I think it’s really your call In the end

    Look, no one in self checkout is in a hurry or can figure out how to use it, one item won’t scan, they put something on the scale and need assistance from the attendant who isn’t paying attention but isn’t doing anything otherwise. It’s a great system

    Carson said the images caught her eye during the meeting. “And I was like, ‘Those are naked women,’” she said. "And then I was like, ‘No, wait a minute. Those aren’t naked, surely those aren’t naked women. Something is playing a trick on my eye. Maybe they just have on tan body suits. … This is just really bizarre.’

    “I saw them just walking across the screen, and I’m like, ‘no.” I’m sorry I even have to use this language, but I’m like, ‘Those are her nipples.’ And then I’m like, ‘That’s pubic hair.’ What in the world am I watching? I didn’t watch a second longer. … I was so disturbed by it, I was like, ‘What is on your TV?’ I was very stern, like I’d been a mother or a classroom teacher. And I said, ‘What am I watching? Turn it off now!’”
