A video circulating on social media platforms captures the moment two Asian parents disciplined their son in a gaming café for reportedly blowing the family’s savings on video games.
The amount misspent is equivalent to 280,000 yuan, approximately $39,433 USD in today’s currency and approximately $38,700 USD when the video was shared back in 2018.
The viral footage portrays a scene of intense confrontation as the parents confront their son, who is immersed in playing video games.
The young man’s cries echo through the gaming café as his parents express their anger at his actions.
According to eyewitnesses, the parents, furious, proceeded to seize the computer screen and keyboard, smashing them in a fit of anger, adding to the already tense atmosphere in the gaming center.
The roots of this incident trace back to China, where a 16-year-old boy allegedly stole 280,000 yuan, acquired through his parents’ hard work, to splurge on online gaming.
The boy rapidly became well-known in the virtual world of the “Dungeon Fighter” (DNF) game, but his parents were furious when they found out what he had done.
As the video gained traction on social media platforms, opinions regarding parental discipline and the dangers of gaming addiction flooded online forums.
While some criticized the parents’ resort to physical punishment, others understood their frustration, recognizing the seriousness of the situation.
