Exactly how is this going to traumatize her? Are you suggesting that whenever we get embarassed we never recover from it? Really, this pop-psychology obsession with traumatization is just not grounded in reality. It'll traumatize her while she's holding the sign. Probably for a few days, maybe even a week afterward. Then she'll get over it, hopefully having learned a lesson. By saying this is going to traumatize her for life you're equating a behavior modification tool with sexual abuse.
