A father forced his 11-year-old son to play video games for 17 hours straight without sleeping after watching him play on his smartphone in bed.
The exhausted boy – from Shenzhen city, Guangdong province, China – said his father began the punishment when he found him gaming at 1am.
Instead of confiscating the phone, the father – referred to as Mr. Huang in the local media – pulled him out of bed and forced him to play for 17 hours.
The harrowing images show how the boy in his pajamas is shaken awake to continue playing, even as he sinks into his chair.
In a heartfelt letter, the boy wrote, “So my father found out. Then my father punished me.

The exhausted boy – from Shenzhen city, Guangdong province, China – said his father began the punishment when he found him gaming at 1am.
‘Let me play enough. Play until you vomit.’
He continued, “Well, I was woken up several times. Either way it will be all day. From 1 a.m. to 6 p.m. I just played 17 hours.’
Mr. Huang only called off the sentence when his son burst into tears and agreed to a new pact that limited his playing time.
His father filmed the lesson and shared it on Douyin – the Chinese version of TikTok – claiming he only did it as a last resort and dissuaded other parents.
The boy wrote a heartfelt note describing how he was forced to play “until he throws up.” He also promised not to play on his phone again before going to bed
