Parents Post Pictures as Punishment

The rise of social media has changed work [2], play [3] -- and many aspects of parenting [4]. For some moms and dads, it has even provided new ways to discipline [5]. In the latest edition of "I'm getting back at my child on Facebook," one couple has taken to the social network to embarrass their daughter in a highly creative way.

Instead of a traditional punishment, the mom and dad of two used their daughter's cellphone to post silly (read: mortifying) pictures of themselves on her Facebook wall. The girl's brother, Reddit user AustinMac posted one of the photos [6] (see below) over the weekend with the caption: "My parents took away my sisters phone for the week. They've uploaded about 10 of these to her facebook. Doing it right!"

His sister's offense? "She got fresh," AustinMac told a fellow Redditor [7].

Well, that's an interesting approach.  What do you think of this type of punishment?
