A mother from China’s Zhejiang province has gone viral on social media for filming herself dousing her son with water as a disciplinary measure.
Sharing the video on September 14, Douyin user Lan Xichen explained that she punished her son after his teacher informed her that the first-grader had poured water on his classmates from the third floor of their school. The child, who also reportedly threw milk cartons, said he had seen other students do it before and liked it.
The video shows Lan filling a container and pouring water on her son, who is standing downstairs in front of their apartment. After being submerged several times, the boy begins to cry and shouts “no” to his mother, to which she responds, “Why not?” Didn’t you say it was fun? I want to try it too.” She adds, “I’m not hitting you, you know that? Violence does not solve problems. I just want to experience how much fun it is.”
Lan’s form of punishment received approval from other Douyin users, with one commenting, “Right now, no one feels more pain for the child than the mother, but I completely agree with the mother’s parenting style.”
