TikToker Hit With Backlash After Suggesting Parents Burn Fake Presents To Get Kids To Behave

In a viral TikTok, it was again suggested parents burn fake presents when their children are acting up and it again divided the internet.

The supposed parenting hack has been recirculating in various farms annually since a video of the suggestion first went viral in 2016. While the advice is dubious, the internet clout is real.


The latest version reached 21.1 million views and 2.2 million likes on TikTok.

TikToker Bennyg7070 posted the video of someone putting an empty, wrapped box into a small fireplace or stove.

The caption read:

"Christmas is coming, and here is a sure fire way to ensure your little darlings behaving proper."

The text over the video said:

“With Christmas approaching, here is a top tip for parents."
"Wrap up some empty boxes and pretend they are presents.
"Then each time one of those little f*ckers misbehaves, chuck one on to the fire."

This video could not have been more dividing.

Which was probably the real point.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
