A teenager in Changle, Fujian Province, locked his parents in their bedroom after they ordered him to stay away from a girl he liked.

Lin and his wife felt the boy, 19, was too young to be in love and locked him in his room. They released him after he vowed not to meet the girl.

However, after his parents went to bed one night last week, the boy locked them inside their room and went to see the girl.

They had to call police to open the door. They told police that their son fell in love with the girl and purchased a gift for the girl's birthday.
