These parents took things to the next level when they decided to try a new approach to curb their kids from constantly playing his PS4 and not paying attention to his studies.

They decided to padlock the PS4 in a way that their kids would have to ask for permission and finish his studies before being allowed to play.

In case you didn’t know, most electrical appliances in Japan are sold with a type-A or type-B plug sockets. These plug sockets comes equipped with flat prongs that have a hole in each prong.  

These parents’ ingenious idea was to insert a padlock into one of these holes in order to prevent their kids from plugging it into a socket.

Hopefully this method works out and the kids actually get to studying!
