14 DAY TRIAL // Frustrated by his daughter's messy living habits, a Georgia soldier decided to teach her a lesson by moving all her belongings into the driveway of their house in Mustang Lane, near Savannah, while she was at school.
When the teenager came back home on Monday, she found all her things outside the house, including her bed, table, bookshelf and computer. Next to her possessions, the angry father left a sign that read, “Haley, room moved to driveway. Clean it next time.”
The Fort Stewart soldier, who didn't want to be identified, appealed to this extreme measure after repeatedly asking his daughter to clean up her bedroom. He told WSAW he had warned Haley that he would start treating her like a soldier, but the girl wouldn’t listen.
The man also explained that he didn't mean to humiliate her. His purpose was to surprise his daughter and make a point.
Haley, who was described by her father as an honor roll student, was initially upset with his “extreme” tactic, but the unusual “punishment” proved beneficial for both of them in the end.
The father has hired a painter to give Haley's bedroom a fresh coat of paint, hoping that she will keep it cleaner from now on.
