Dad Puts Son's Weed Habit on Blast by Selling His Car on Craigslist
A dad is getting praised around the country for selling his son's car on Craigslist and shaming him for smoking weed.
A Jacksonville, Fla. dad used a Craigslist ad to shame his teenage son for "smokin dope" while also selling off the son's SUV as punishment. Allen Gieger Jr. has since gone viral and told CNN he's been getting messages of support for his parenting from around the country. The original Craigslist ad was reportedly shared thousands of times on Facebook.
The best part: dad's got jokes. The ad selling the 1998 Ford Explorer for $1,500 offers up a discount if someone local buys it.
Gieger had apparently grown tired of the son's behavior and his friend's influence on him. In footage shot by local TV station WJXT, Gieger reaches into the Explorer's ash tray and plucks out a blunt roach before holding it up for the camera.
The burns did not stop there.
The ad did the job. Gieger reportedly sold the SUV only two hours after posting it. It's not clear if the buyer claimed that $250 discount.
