While the rise of social media has certainly created new ways for children to get themselves in trouble, it’s also given parents a whole new set of tools to reel in their kids. A recent Facebook post, first highlighted by BuzzFeed, serves as a wonderful example of this.
After author ReShonda Tate Billingsley found her daughter posting alcohol-related photos to the social network, she came up with a very original, and no doubt effective, form of punishment. Following up the post her mother deemed inappropriate is a new photo that features the young girl holding a hand-written sign that reads,
“Since I want to post photos of me holding liquor I am obviously not ready for social media and will be taking a hiatus until I learn what I should + should not post. BYE-BYE.”
