Sometimes there has to be punishment. However, a simple cell phone ban would be boring!

Tawnya Ford and Larry Sumpter proved that the punishment for the daughter who illegally smuggled boys into the sleepover party can be far more creative. They gave teenager Madelynn Sumpter a choice: a month of cell phone ban or two weeks of full control over the social media accounts for her parents, i.e. Instagram , Snapchat and TikTok .

Madelynn chose the latter. What could possibly go wrong?

What could possibly go wrong?

The 43-year-old father seemed to have just been waiting for this opportunity, because what happened on his daughter's accounts over the next two weeks was second to none!

It started with a harmless selfie:

Shortly after, he found his inner girl on Instagram:

However, the father showed his true talent on TikTok, as he immediately demonstrated on Facebook:

As “ The best Social Media ” reports, daughter Madelynn wanted to change her mind on the first day and preferred to forego the cell phone because her father even received more likes than she did. But Larry Sumpter refused because he had too many ideas that he now wanted to implement... and he proved that!

It's not surprising that many media outlets took notice and reported on this unusual educational measure!

The two weeks went by almost too quickly, and Father Larry had some good advice at the end:

“THIS, children, is why you should make good decisions. Your offenses and punishments may make headlines.”

We can only agree with this!

Apparently many people, especially young people, are looking for their “15 minutes of fame” on the Internet. For this purpose, pointless challenges are used and dangerous “stunts” are undertaken. Many adolescents have died because they had to live-stream themselves surfing on a subway or climbing electricity poles in order to get as many clicks and likes as possible.

More extreme are beating videos , which of course absolutely have to be filmed and posted online. Videos that are still circulating on the Internet years later, each time shaming the perpetrators because they were stupid enough to film their actions years ago. Actions that they often did just for clicks.

As funny as the parents' action was, it was also an extreme invasion of their daughter's privacy. What teenager wants their parents to see what they've posted and who they've chatted with? So this two-week intervention was certainly funny for the parents and the daughter's followers, but Madelynn was probably not in a very good mood.

At least she apparently has very humorous parents who only humorously satirized their daughter. Madelynn herself probably took her parents' unusual postings with humor... but will certainly think twice before letting her father use the accounts again!
