Imagine having to step up as a parent to your younger sibling at the age of 22. That’s exactly what happened to this 26-year-old man, who took custody of his 14-year-old brother when their drug-addicted parents were no longer in the picture. Now 18, his brother Isaac is a sensitive but responsible young man. But when Isaac and his friends decided to drink and drive, big bro had to put his foot down – and his method of punishment has left the internet divided.

A Lesson Learned or Too Harsh?
After a heated argument, big bro forced Isaac to watch a compilation of drunk driving videos as punishment for wanting to drive after drinking. Isaac was left trembling and retreated to his room for hours. Later, they talked it out and Isaac admitted he was more upset by his brother’s anger than the videos. He promised never to drink and drive again, and they even spent some quality time together. But was this punishment too harsh or just the wake-up call Isaac needed? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
