Father puts crying boy in blue recycling bin, scolds him while sibling watches on
Talk about sorting out your problems... literally.
A father was caught on camera giving his son a stern lecture while the child was inside a blue recycling bin.
The unusual scene was shared on TikTok by user @atas69699 on June 21 and has since gone viral, with over 379,000 views and hundreds of amused comments.
In the video, the boy in red is seen sobbing while clutching the sides of the bin. Another child, likely his sibling, stands beside him, looking equally stunned.
Meanwhile, the father, who is holding a tote bag and two balloons, appears unfazed as he delivers his "bin-tervention".
Reactions online ranged from laughter to concern.
"Old-school parenting at its finest," one user commented. "At least it's the recycling bin. My time, it was straight to the green bin."
Another joked: "I found you in the rubbish bin, I'm going to put you back there."
"As an Asian parent, I aspire to be like this," quipped another.
Still, not everyone was amused. One user wrote: "What kind of discipline is this? There are better ways."
Others defended the dad: "It's not traumatising - he didn't leave the kid there. He was just trying to get a message across."
