Viral video: Daughter skips math lesson, dad punishes her by turning her room into a jail cell
A viral TikTok video shows a father punishing his daughter for skipping math class by turning her room into a "jail," removing all furniture, clothes, and personal items. The extreme punishment has sparked debate online.
It's usual for parents to confiscate their young children's phones when they misbehave, but this American guy went a step too far by making his daughter's room into a "jail". Is it her fault? She missed her math class at school to hang around with her buddies instead. In a TikTok video posted to X, user Vince Nyla can be seen clearing his daughter's room.
"My daughter cut her second-period maths class with two of her friends," the onscreen description stated.
What does the dad do in the viral video?

The man is seen lifting items off shelves, stripping bedsheets and mattresses off a bed, and finally dragging the entire bed out of the room. He even takes the TV and her shoes from the room.
"Sooo...I decided for her punishment I would turn her room into her own personal jail cell," the video informs. The dad is seen unlocking his daughter's wardrobe and removing all of her clothes.
"The fact that she is even trying to test me is crazy 'cause Lord knows I try but now I got to get diabolical," he wrote as he grabbed her books and skincare products from the shelf, utterly emptying the room.
He ends the video by placing the t-shirt on the vacant room's floor next to a pair of shoes and leaving a note for his daughter. In the final picture of the video, the daughter is seen walking inside the room.
How did people on the internet react?
The video, which has 34 million views, received a rush of comments from viewers criticizing the father's severe punishment tactics and parenting style. Here's what people wrote in the comments.

The time and energy he took to do this, he could have had a conversation with her, something more constructive than this.
