I don't agree with this punishment...Kids are cruel and she will forever be branded a thief at school now thanks to the misguided 'parenting' of her father. I can see he meant to shock her into never stealing again.
There are many other ways of teaching your young daughter that stealing is wrong this is just unbelievably extreme.
Im not sure that public humiliation is any worse than physical abuse, neither are appropriate to me...imo
The removal of treats, toys, early bedtimes, extra chores are more appropriate for a little girl.
