The Shocking Cost of Trust The recent parenting advice column on Slate has sparked a heated debate about trust and responsibility in relationships.
A mother, identified only as "Shocking Suggestion," revealed that her husband had proposed using a remote control shock collar on their 3 year old son to curb his habit of grabbing his crotch.
The columnist's response was blunt: the mother should leave her husband immediately. The outrage over this suggestion is understandable, given its barbaric nature.
