Okay, so I'm sure the parents were thinking that this is a great way to force the children to confront their problem, but it really isn't an effective parenting technique. Children need to be taught how to resolve conflict in a way that actually works in the real world.
Well their faces are like that probably because they just had the argument/fight that made the parent put the shirt on them. You don't have any straight indication that the shirt is why they have those expressions.
In jail??? What for? Forcing them to stop fighting and be close to each other? It makes them either have to talk or stop talking, and if they were hitting, they can't now! You want to send a parent to jail, send the ones that beat or molest their kids, not the ones that make their children learn to get along with others.
Yes, because forcing children into the same shirt will resolve everything. My mother used to try this on me and my sister, and she wouldn't let us argue at all. Sure, arguing can be annoying (and in many cases hurtful), but when we were actually working things out, she would yell at us. Obviously forcing us into the same shirt where we couldn't talk about anything that we didn't get along about was a more effective method. The GOOD parenting method when your kids are fighting is helping them come up with a resolution, and when they get older, encouraging them to come up with their own without being hurtful.
Okay so the parents should go to jail??!!?? No... goodness you can't even spank a kid now a days without being looked at like ur evil.

Spanking has been found to not only be an ineffective method of discipline, but it also has long term negative effects. Before someone replies with something along the lines of "I was spanked and I turned out fine", please remember that personal experience does not trump scientific evidence.
I actually like this idea. I like the principle of "if you can't solve your problems, someone else will, and in a way you won't like". Most of you funsubsters don't like it, but I say there's a lesson hidden in there.
Uhm, except fighting is an attempt to solve problems, and they aren't helping them learn to solve their own problems, which is what needs to happen for CHILDREN who can't solve their own problems.
Just because it isn't the worst way to handle things doesn't mean it couldn't be handled better. Just because someone is getting one meal a day rather than one meal a week doesn't make one meal a day okay.
