Mom forces son to stand on street for bad grades

TAMPA, Fla. - March 21, 2011

Fed up with his bad grades, his mother sent him there hoping to teach him a lesson about the importance of an education.

Ronda Holder never finished high school and doesn't want the same for her son.

So she sent him out Wednesday with a sign telling the world about his 1.22 GPA.

His middle school has since enrolled him in after-school tutoring.

The Department of Children and Families is investigating whether the incident might be a form of maltreatment.

Holder says she doesn't care about the critics. She wants her son to have an education.

Plenty of people honked.
