Waterpark Drama: A Father’s Tough Love or Overreaction?
In a small, struggling waterpark, a father and boss finds himself at odds with his rebellious teenage son.

His wife thinks he’s overreacting, but he sees it as a valuable lesson. But what do you think? Is this tough love or just too harsh? Let’s see what the internet has to say…
