The Incident
According to reports, the child was given a cartoon sticker depicting a sleeping character after appearing tired during activities. Instead of being handled privately, the sticker was displayed alongside others in the classroom as part of a behavior-tracking system.
The family is now demanding accountability from the school, calling the practice a form of shaming that could impact their son’s confidence and emotional well-being. Some parents online have even described it as a crime against a child’s dignity.
Social media reactions include:
- “Children should never be labeled this way. It’s degrading.”
- “Teachers need better methods for behavior management.”
- “This might be well-intentioned, but it’s outdated and harmful.”
