[Michael] Tang, a chemist who was feeling frustrated with his 8-year-old son for cheating on homework, decided to teach him an important life lesson – that money is hard to earn and slacking off at school could mean not having a home someday. Tang dropped Isaac off in a parking lot one mile from home and told him to walk the rest of the way. It was 7:45 p.m. in Corona, a city near Los Angeles, and the sun had barely set. Isaac knew the route home and was familiar with using pedestrian crossings.
When Tang sent his father to get Isaac after 15 minutes, the child already been picked up by police, alerted by someone who thought he was in danger because he was alone. Tang was arrested and spent the night in jail; but the punishment did not end there. Reason reports:
"A jury later convicted him of child endangerment, and the judge sentenced him to parenting classes and a 56-day work release program picking up trash and doing other menial work."

I guess but that is just hate you stuff which many be appropriate for children but not for parents, the kid was 8 I went to school on my own at that age on the subway but not as a punishment in a very safe city but to leave your kid as a punishment for bad grades on the street in what from the comments here is a dangerous part of the city, no sorry he should do time(not like years but several days seems appropriate)
