Parents punish daughter by posting this photo on her Facebook wall [View all]

After a Wisconsin teen behaved badly, her parents confiscated her phone for a week. Seems like a fair punishment for a girl who supposedly gave her parents grief and talked back, right? But the unnamed parents decided to take the punishment even further. They took a flurry of ridiculous photos of themselves with their daughter’s phone and inundated her Facebook wall with the mortifying images.

The girl’s brother decided that the greater world needed to know about his sister’s situation and shared the story and one of the photos (above) on Reddit.

The brother, who goes by AustinMac on Reddit, wrote:

My parents took away my sisters phone for the week. They’ve uploaded about 10 of these to her facebook. Doing it right!

Reddit users asked what the girl did to deserve this and AustinMac responded, she “got fresh” with my parents.

The Reddit community was overwhelmingly supportive of the parents form of discipline.

“Your parents are AWESOME!!!,” McDonaldstein shared.

i think the real punishment was taking away her phone for a week JI7 Oct 2012 #20

That is actually really funny. Of course it says more about them than their daughter though. yellowcanine Oct 2012 #11
