A TikTok video showcasing a mother and her brother removing a teenager’s door has sparked heated online debate.
A mother takes drastic action over locked door
On social media., the video, shared on the TikTok account @itsgoneviral, has garnered attention a mong viewers and hundreds of comments.
In it, a mother records herself explaining her strict rule for her teenage daughter: if the boyfriend visits, the door stays open and unlocked.
She said in the video: ‘So, my daughter’s asked me if she can have her boyfriend round. I said yeah – but there’s rules.
‘You keep the door open and it never gets locked! She’s just come in now, with her boyfriend, and the doors are locked.’
The situation escalated when the daughter locked herself in her room with her boyfriend. Concerned, the mother enlisted her brother to help enforce the rule.
The footage shows the brother cutting a square hole in the door using a power saw, creating an open window. While doing so, he humorously quoted Jack Nicholson’s famous line from “The Shining”: “Here’s Johnny!”
Family humor meets serious lecturing
After removing the door section, the uncle poked his head through the opening. He sternly reminded his niece, “Told you not to lock your door when your boyfriend is here.”
He then turned to the boyfriend, warning, “Don’t touch my niece, you little s***. I’ll tell you once, I’ll tell you twice.”
Walking away, the mother and uncle laughed, feeling victorious. “Got her there, didn’t we?” the uncle said, to which the mother replied, “We did!”
Social media reactions are divided
The video received mixed reactions, with some praising the family’s approach and others condemning it as extreme.
Supporters agreed with the mother’s tough stance. However, critics expressed concerns about long-term consequences. Some argued that the action could harm trust between the mother and daughter.
One user commented sarcastically, “Why doesn’t my daughter speak to me anymore?”
Others labeled the act as overreach, with one writing, “This is abuse. You’ll wonder one day why your children don’t visit you.”
A second wrote: Good to see I took my daughter’s door and put it in the shed
While a third commented: Bahahah some ppl don’t understand ” cut off your nose to spite your face” and it shows
Another added: I took my oldest daughters door of the hinges once. I ended up putting it back on but it was off for months.
Another added: I removed my daughter Dor, after slamming broke. She promptly got large nails from the shed and nailed a sheet up. Damaging the door frame
While some viewers applauded the mother’s rule enforcement, others warned that it could push the daughter toward secrecy.
One parent advised, “This sounds great until she does it secretly elsewhere. Keep your kids close, don’t push them away.”
