Mom Wears Sign to avoid Jail Time - WLTZ 38 | Columbus Georgia Regional News & Community

By Amber James (WGXA)-A Georgia woman chose public shaming over jail time, after pleading guilty to battery and making terroristic threats on a school bus.

You can see Natosha Freeman here wearing a sign that says "I made a fool out of myself on a Bibb County school bus" It's alleged that Freeman spanked her cousin aboard the bus after the girl told her to "Kiss her heiney."

The judge gave her a choice: go to jail for four weekends or wear this sign every morning for a week.
"Judges don't really give you a choice and I'm just thankful that he gave me a choice instead of me going to jail," Freeman said.

In addition to this unusual sentence, Freeman has to pay a fine of 32-dollars each month until the end of her five year probation.
