A 36-year-old father finds himself in the middle of a heated family dispute after his autistic son accidentally deletes his sister's important school project. The 13-year-old daughter, understandably upset, loses her temper and yells at her brother, causing him to have a meltdown. The father tries to mediate the situation, but when his wife insists on punishing their daughter, he takes a stand. The question is, did he make the right choice? 🤔💔
