Will Do Homework For Food

There's a hilarious (upsetting?) AP story out today about a mom who, unable to get her daughter to do her homework or stop acting up in class, put her out on the street.

The sign reads, " I don't do my homework and I act up in school, so my parents are preparing me for my future."

Of course, shaming doesn't always work:
