Parents in New Mexico say they’re out of options with their teenage son.

In an attempt to discipline their 16-year-old, they’ve started forcing him to live in tent as punishment.

The exhausted Albuquerque parents said their 16-year-old son had been stealing from them, so they're trying to teach him a lesson.

The tent is stocked with bedding and books, and he is fed. He’s actually allowed to use the bathroom inside, and they let him sleep in the house after 9pm.

To be honest, this sounds like ideal accommodation for a teenager?!

Neighbours have actually called the cops on the family with claims that it’s neglect — the cops, however, have found nothing abusive or illegal about the situation.

“We are not doing anything wrong, we’re just trying to teach our son a lesson,” the mom, Angela Boggus, told KRQE/CNN. “If we don’t deal with him now, he’s gonna be the whole world’s problem in a couple of years.”

We say good on these parents! What do you reckon?
