Don’t do the crime if you can’t handle the punishment! On Reddit’s “Am I the A------” (AITA) forum, a parent shared that they removed their teen son's bedroom door.

“My son’s door is usually locked either on accident or because he wants privacy,” the user shared after revealing that the locks on the doors in the home are janky and they're planning on replacing them. “That’s fine and we didn’t have a problem until now.”

The user continued: “I check on the kids usually before I go to bed, sometimes his door is locked so I just say goodnight outside the door. Last night he had the door locked but was playing music. It was late so I told him to turn it down, no response so I knocked. I call him and it goes to voicemail. I’m panicking at this point and think he hit his head or something. No answers to anything we do so we take the door off the frame. He’s not in his room.”

The user then shared that the teen son snuck out of the home and came back at 4 a.m.

“As punishment, his door is removed since of the lock and it will stay off until he gets a new door in about two weeks,” the user shared. “That door will have the normal door knob lock. My husband and I agree with this punishment but he told his friends and one parent keeps blowing up my phone calling me an a------.”

The user actually double-checked about the parent who kept calling them out, and it turned out to be another kid.

“Apparently there are ways to make the incoming message look like it is from a different phone,” the user explained. “It was his friend and I contacted his parents. He snuck out also and his parents apologized to me for their son's actions and told me they will deal with it.”

The parent shared that they have been arguing with the teen son a lot over the door and are now asking for an outside opinion.
