News of the incident emerged after the school alerted the parents about her eight-day truancy. The school stated that they last saw the girl on campus almost a full week prior.
They grew concerned and worried, so they started asking about whereabouts and went on to conduct their own search. Their investigation eventually took them to the boyfriend’s apartment, where they discovered the daughter was absent both from school and from her studies.
Reactions on social media have been mixed. Some people have defended the parents’ decision to discipline their daughter, while others raised worries about the use of corporal punishment and urged parents to develop effective methods of communication with their teenage offspring.
“Parents must encourage open dialogue about relationships and trust if they ever want their kids to share what they’re up to,” another commented. She only told a fib to avoid getting into trouble with her parents.
Neither the names of the involved parents nor the school have been revealed in an official announcement about what actions will be taken.
The situation highlights some of the challenges parents may face when managing their teenagers in today’s tech-savvy world.
