Paying people to kidnap your children?
It would certainly traumatize the kid which include years of therapy (=money) and distrust.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ple, did you ever see the Martha Stewart episode where she had on an expert and dealer in vintage linoleum? It was cool because (a) she had these huge rolls of really gorgeous old lineoleum patterns and (b) she was a tall rockabilly chick with tats up both arms and had obviously gotten into the vintage lineoleum by way of retro living.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If no one was kidnapped, it doesn't sound traumatic (except for the part where you realise you did a dumb thing...which'd sting).

I'm getting the pig!
I guess I'm failing to see the trauma. Now, if they kidnap and torture them just to get their point across, that's different, obviously.

I think the "on camera" portion would be the part to make me pissed if I was a teenager. If your point is to show your kid how not to be dumb, there's no reason to add potential humiliation at school into the mix.

I suppose it depends on the kid's age when it happens. I can see the positive side to it, but still.

"My drink preference does not indicate my sexual preference. "
Nation Wide Humiliation might be responcible for the camera phobias that are poppin' up

I recommend online grocery shopping when you don't feel well. You save LOTS of money.

Camera phobias? Is this the new thing?
