WATCH ABOVE: A judge decided the actions of an Ohio man were so shameful that he could do with a dose of humiliation. Instead of incarceration, she sentenced him to public shaming. As Robin Gill reports, it’s not the first punishment of its kind.
SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio – An Ohio man is sitting on a street corner with a sign declaring he’s a bully as part of his sentence for harassing a neighbour and her disabled children.
A judge ordered 62-year-old Edmond Aviv to display the sign for five hours Sunday. It says: “I AM A BULLY! I pick on children that are disabled, and I am intolerant of those that are different from myself. My actions do not reflect an appreciation for the diverse South Euclid community that I live in.”
The Northeast Ohio Media Group reports that Aviv arrived at the corner just before 9 a.m., placing the hand-lettered sign next to him as he sat in a chair. Court records show Aviv pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge.
