PIC: Dublin father comes up with tough punishment for smoking son

A Dublin dad has taken a rather unusual step in a bid to get across the message to his 15-year-old son to stop smoking.

After catching his son in the act on Friday, the father decided to sell his iPhone 5c on DoneDeal.ie for just a single euro.

Explaining his move in the listing description the father feels that regular punishments were not an option anymore: "(My) 15-year-old son was caught smoking on Friday for the second time. Grounding him did not do the trick, so hopefully this teaches him."
