A Georgia mom?s tough-love tactic for disciplining her teen son after he broke his weeknight curfew has landed her time in jail ? and her arrest has set off a debate about a parent?s right to discipline her child and when punishment crosses the line into abuse.

Last week, Antonia Folsom, a 34-year-old mother of four from Augusta, Ga., locked her 13-year-old son out of their house after he came home 15 minutes past his 9 p.m. curfew, according to an incident report cited by the Athens Banner-Herald.

The teen knocked on the door to be allowed in, but Folsom allegedly told him she was tired of his breaking curfew and made him sleep outside on a concrete patio, reports Augusta?s News Channel WJBF. His 15-year-old brother gave him a blanket and pillow.

The next morning, she reportedly told her 15-year-old not to let the younger son in the house after she left for work. The 13-year-old later called the police, who approached Folsom about where her son was. She allegedly told them that she last saw him outside at 11 p.m. and told him to come in, but he left instead.

Police brought Folsom to the county jail, where she was booked on a charge of deprivation of a minor, a misdemeanor. She?s now out on bail, and her kids are in the custody of their grandmother.

News of her arrest ignited big support for Folsom from her community, who say she?s a ?fantastic mother? to her four kids, according to WRDW. The 13-year-old has been in trouble with the law before, neighbors said, and the mom was simply trying to discipline him, reports WRDW in Augusta.

I agree with tough love

_Richard_ · 06-03-2015, 08:05 AM

how is the kid eating as she is punishing him for his tardiness? sounds like someone who deserves where she is at

HowlingWulf · 06-03-2015, 08:08 AM

I'm fine with it. He'll think real hard about breaking curfew again.
When I got in trouble as a kid it would only happen once. ONCE.

brassmonkey · 06-03-2015, 08:19 AM

he called the police

seems like she is the only one trying to save him. the streets will eat your ass up at that age.

he snitched on his own mother? Is he related to you or something?

I agree with keeping him out all night (it is pretty warm there, so there's no harm done) but not letting him in for breakfast and to get ready for school? That's kind of messed up. But hey, consequences! Teens are tough enough to control without having to worry about CPS every time you discipline them.

I think back to the 70's when I was that age, and the only thing I can say is... this kid got off lucky.

Not enough tough love these days.

pornguy · 06-03-2015, 01:12 PM

Thats not tough love. thats mild love. She should have beat his ass.

Sadly then she would be in jail for a bigger crime.

There are so many ways it could have backfired - I don't think it was abuse, just not well thought out...

tommy730 · 06-14-2015, 01:28 AM

I'd bet the kid would be more conscious about the time he's getting home after spending the most of the night sleeping in front of the house but to refuse him to come in after she left for work was a little too far. At that point it goes from feeling punished to feeling rejected/neglected by his own Mom which is why he probably felt OK to call the cops. Still, should've called his grandmother or someone else instead.
