A father, shocked by his daughter Sam’s involvement in bullying and racial discrimination, sought a fitting punishment. He banned her from homecoming, senior prom, and denied her a car for her 18th birthday. Sam resisted, pleading for attendance at these “once-in-a-lifetime events” and against deleting her Instagram due to unsaved pictures. The father, unyielding, emphasized the consequences of her actions.

The family lived with the grandparents during home renovations, and while they deemed Sam’s behavior unacceptable, they thought the father’s punishments were excessive. Turning to Reddit for opinions, users largely supported the father’s strict stance, emphasizing the importance of consequences for such behavior. Some suggested allowing Sam to back up her photos before deleting social media. Despite family disagreements, the consensus favored the father’s commitment to addressing his daughter’s harmful actions.
