KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) -- "Daddy, don't steal." That's the message a Michigan man has to wear for months. Daniel Cleland is being ordered by a Kalamazoo County judge to write those words on his hand or arms for seven months. Cleland told the judge his 6-year-old gave him the advice. The kid's recommendation of "`Daddy, don't steal" sounds good to the judge, too. Cleland now avoids seven months in jail on a charge of felony retail fraud.

What did he steal? - I think it should be written on the front and back of his shirt in big neon colors. More convictions should be placed in this situation. Advertise themselves - let people gawk and stare - they deserve it.

WRITING IT ON HIS ARMS OR HANDS...THAT CAN BE EASILY COVERED UP. I AGREE, HE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A SIGN ON HIS CAR...LIKE THE PIZZA DELIVERY PEOPLE..THAT WAY IT IS ADVERTISED AT ALL TIMES. ONE SMART CHILD THIS MAN HAS...PERHAPS HE CAN EDUCATE HIS FATHER AND THEY CAN GROW UP TOGETHER TO BE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.

What a waste of my time to listen to this. What did he steal. Have him wear it on a Cap, written on his Car etc etc. But what will this do to his Family.

what the heck does writing that on his arm do? he should have to wear that quote on a cap or shirt that says that for that period of time... not write it on his arm???

there should be more degrading punishments like this, it might work better than jail in some situations
