Abbott replaced her daughter’s profile picture with a photo of the girl with a red X layered over her mouth. “I do not know how to keep my… I am not longer allowed on Facebook or my phone. Please ask why, my mom says I have to answer everyone that asks,” read a message accompanying the picture.
Abbot says the move was an appropriate punishment for the social media generation.
“When you put everything on Facebook, you have to realize there’s a consequence for all of your actions,” she told a local NBC affiliate.
It’s the second high-profile instance of “Facebook parenting” to arise over the past couple months. In February, a North Carolina father named Tommy Jordan posted a video to YouTube of himself shooting several rounds into his teenage daughter’s laptop after she wrote a disrespectful Facebook post about her parents. That video went viral in a major way, spawned numerous spoofs and gained Jordan a significant level of Internet notoriety.
