After a boy was caught playing with his smartphone in class at school, his father took up an unorthodox method of punishment. The man repeatedly flogged himself with a wooden stick, taking his son’s misbehavior as his own lack of educating the child in proper conduct.
The incident, which took place in China, was caught on video and uploaded to Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, by user “Love Cool” on May 24. It appears that the video was recorded by the man’s wife, who only asked him once to stop hitting himself during the three-minute recording.
