What do your kids do when they don’t want to go to school? Probably cry, plead, make excuses or pretend to be sick, isn’t it?
But this bizarre story of two siblings trying to avoid studies will shock you.
These two teenage siblings, living with their parents in Panchwati Colony of Haridwar, had locked themselves up in a room for 4 years. The strange incident surfaced when locals complained to the police, suspecting that probably the parents had locked their kids up in a room.
Everyone got a wave of shock when the police discovered that it wasn’t the parents, but the kids who had confined themselves to the room for four years in order to escape studies and avoid going to school.
Most shockingly, every thing that the kids needed was written as a note to the parents that was passed from under the door. The parents then provided them the needful.
The incident is a shock to anyone who came to know about it.
It’s an alert for parents – we would suggest, don’t let your kids try this at home!
