  • The social services need to be called immediately about this. This is not normal discipline for a child, especially for something like ignoring you one night!? Fuck, I sometimes am in moods when I don't fee like talking and even don't say much to the people I love most for an evening, and decent people understand that sometimes people need space or just don't feel like talking due to being tired, not feeling well, or stressed out. This father's reaction was not only not normal, but abusive, highly unstable, and even dangerous. Locking someone in a room and deliberately turning the heat up to 90 degrees for 24 hours can give someone dehydration and even heat stroke. It's not like he did it for just half an hour or an hour, but that would've still been messed up, but for 24 hours!? That's almost up on the level as locking someone in a car with the windows up on a hot summer day. This father has serious issues and needs to lose custody over his kid for deliberately endangering their health, very likely mentally traumatizing the kid, and because of not talking for one night!? Seriously!!? Call social services!
