It surprises me when journalist find this kind of stuff to be newsworthy. However, I guess in our postmodern age, we need to be reminded of what everyone used to know: guilt can help change behavior.
So often these days we are told not to make children feel bad, because it hurts their precious "self-esteem." So, we don't try to make them feel guilty for their bad behavior and then are shocked we get more bad behavior. However, a little shame goes a long way.
