I think my 12th birthday party involved my parents reversing their cars out of the garage and we turned the driveway into a disco.

While many parents choose to take their kids to restaurants, ten pin bowling or even the movies, one dad has decided to take a different approach.

According to UNILAD, a millionaire father decided it would be appropriate to invite strippers to his son's 12th birthday party, in an effort to 'make him a man'. 

The disturbing footage has been shared on social media and it seems that people are completely up in arms, with some condemning the boy's father for the two strippers dancing in their underwear around the young boy. The boy is seen with no shirt on, and looks overwhelmed and uncomfortable as the strippers dance around him.

While this weird situation is taking place, the boy's father looks on and even encourages the strippers, laughing and smiling at the events while cheering his son on.

Out of all the entertainment this dad could have chosen, I believe that this was not appropriate. I mean, he's just 12 and is practically still a child. Some have said that maybe he wanted to teach him a 'life lesson', but there are other ways to do so - like talking to his kid.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Do you see this as child abuse? Was it wrong of this dad to put his son into this position?
