A Texas father came up with a much more creative punishment than an old-fashioned grounding after his teen daughter broke the rules.

Madelynn Sumpter, 15, got into some hot water recently when she and her her friends snuck some boys into a sleepover — so Madelynn's parents Tawnya Ford and Larry Sumpter gave her a choice: She could either surrender her cell phone for a whole month, or just surrender control of her social media accounts for two weeks.

Madelynn went the social media route, and soon her 43-year-old father was posting selfies and other embarrassing photos from her Instagram account. 

Larry, who lives in Denton, said Madelynn didn't hesitate in picking the social media takeover, clearly finding the thought of giving up her phone for a whole month too terrible to bear.
