16 year antiquated have to stir on a leash surrounded by the store, is this ok to do as a parent?

I have a rule, since there is 8 kids, everyone under 11 have to go on a leash in the grocery store when we go. (ages- 5,3,2) And my other kids get hold of 5 dollars each to go buy a snack or candy or a drink. Well my 16 year old son be in trouble so he didnt get his 5 dollars that trip so he went to the candy aisle n stuffed some surrounded by his underwear and i was watching him so i freaked out. i made him let me pull down his pant in the bathroom and get it out. the manager made me payment for it since it was in his underwear. So his punishment is he has to work past its sell-by date his money (about 20 dollars worth) earning .50 cents a chore and he has to go to the store everytime for 5 months near a leash on. Is this a good punishment? and should i add anything?
I'm really hoping this is a practical joke, but if it isn't then i think you are crazy with a possessions C! First of all, you are making your 16 year old son pull his pant down?? Seriously? Second of all, you have your kids on leashes?? Isn't that some form of abuse? I can twig if they are babies, but these aren't babies. Sounds like you need to change a few things and the first should be to acquire some control over your kids and your birth control!
I think the leash on the 16 yr behind the times is too much. Maybe you could make him stay with you in the store and be responsible for the younger ones (ages 5,3,and 2). I return with having the little ones on a leash. It might not be looked upon well by others, but at least they are undamaging and won't all run off in different directions or take in trouble.
Good luck.
Answers:    well you should hold grounded him not put him on a leash the leash will just make him embarressed but i guess it will teach him never to shop heave again lol. but grounding him would have been better.
Are you kidding? I sure hope so. 11 year old on a leash? Dude, I would hate to be on a leash within the store. I would get so embarrassed when people hike by. Most kids on leashes are mentally ill.. and 20 bucks worth of candy?!
Uhm... I am completely unsure what to tell you, but I feel compelled to respond.
If your 16 yo honestly stole candy surrounded by the store, and you personally witnessed it, instead of pulling his pants down in the restroom ( he is WAY to dated for that) maybe it would have been better to nick him to the store manager and make him confess and apologize for it. Making him work off the money that have to be paid is completely understandable. In the court system, at 16, you can be charged as an adult surrounded by many offenses, so he should absolutely be held responsible for his actions.
I do not agree next to putting ANY child on a leash. I feel it is degrading and not really teaching the child how to stay with parent when on a shopping trip. HOWEVER, I do not enjoy 8 children, so I can't tell you how to make them all stay together. One possibility is I don`t know to only take some of the children on the shopping trip when you go. This give you more one on one time to teach the children how to behave in the store WITHOUT putting them on a leash.
I am not questioning your parenting by any resources, like I said, I don't have 8 children and can't imagine how hectic a shopping trip can be. I am simply giving you my feelings. I hope it helps in some way. Good Luck.
You need to check near laws in your state.The better thing is to go off him home when you go to the store.There should only be one punishment per offense.He needed to apologize.
one thing for sure is dont pull a 16 year olds pant down second is a 16 year old shouldnt be going to the grocery store third no one should be on a leash no matter how hilarios it is for me not a soul over 12 should go with to store

Justin,

After reading your profile, it appears that you would have have to be 12 or 13 when your wife had her 1st baby.

I'm also guessing that a 16 year would have no subdivision of a leash. Most 16 year olds I know are driving, not walking around with a parent guided leash.

Nice try. People, where are all of these trolls coming from lately?

A lot of relations on here are serious when they ask questions and aren't acting like a child and making up ridiculous scenarios.
This can't be a serious question.
Ummm...that has to be one of the most ridiculous punishments I've ever heard. Honestly, it wouldn't be worth it. Yes, you'd get the point across that stealing is impossible, but you'd also probably attract unwanted attention. Something like that could ruin his social life, which, while it may seem minor, is an key part of his development as a human being. The chore item sounds like enough of a punishment. Maybe ground him from a few things for good determine. A leash? That's just flat out redic.
You are joking right??! That is crazy! Why would you degrade your children similar to that? At sixteen he should be allowed to stay home you are crazy for putting kids on a leash if you can't control them in a store you need to pay a sitter to survey them...you should have thought about this before you have eight kids!!
