PARENTING 101: GOING TO FAR OR NOT FAR ENOUGH??
You go through a series of options at your disposal with the idea that you don’t want the negative behavior again and maybe a teachable moment of growth.
So, when father, Kevin Jones found out his 10 year-old 5th grader was online pretending to be a teenager he decided to let it be known on social media that she was only 10.
Jones posted a picture on Instagram of Janiya wearing ponytails and barrettes, a pink princess backpack and an airbrushed t-shirt that said “I Am 10 Years Old” in the from and “5th Grader” in the back, plus a caption that said:
Since my beautiful daughter Janiya wants to be grown and lie about her age, saying she is 14, 15, 16 & 18 years old. Â She claims to be in love and going with a boyfriend which is completely against my rules!!! I uncovered that she has been doing this for quite some time. Â She also has snuck and obtained social media accounts, also against my rules!!! Here’s the consequence behind her actions. Â An age defining shirt. Â Yes people she is 5’9 and 10 years old.
