Children Insist 100K Attended Their Rally Against Parental Overreach

The living room and kitchen, where the demonstration took place, have a maximum capacity of 40 people.

Pardes Ḥannah, March 22 – Two teenagers who organized a demonstration against an impending household policy to assert a greater role for the family’s father and mother in decisions that until now the children have assumed were the sole prerogative of the younger set claimed that last night’s protest against the looming change in household administration attracted over 98,000 participants, local sources reported today.

Yuval and Ohr Stern, ages 16 and 13, respectively, asserted that their rally against “parental tyranny” Monday night featured an estimated 98,650 people present, all of whom object to the parental overreach inherent in a policy that the teens’ parents, Eitan and Shira, intend to implement starting this week: tighter parental oversight of smartphone use, including granular control over the children’s time on Tiktok, Instagram, and other social media contagions that the parents have argued exert a destructive influence on behavior. The parents voiced skepticism of the 98,650 figure, noting that the Stern home living room and kitchen, where the demonstration took place, have a maximum combined capacity of 40 people.

“The people are with us!” contended Yuval. “Popular resistance against this usurpation of our sovereignty will continue, and the number of protesters prove that we are the majority.”

“The authoritarians in power thought they could ride roughshod over the popular will and trample democracy, but we showed them otherwise,” boasted Ohr. “A hundred thousand people came here last night to send the clear message that no one messes with our rights.”

Yuval and Ohr planned the protest a mere 24 hours before it occurred, and voiced gratification at the size it reached even with such short notice. “The authentic, spontaneous voice of the people was heard, and will continue to be heard,” claimed Ohr.

The teens made sure to apply for a permit with the police before going ahead with the demonstration; an officer dispatched to the scene declined to confirm the number that the organizers cited, noting that since the event took place entirely on private property and no complaints reached the department, no police were authorized to enter the venue, and therefore the department could not offer any official estimate of attendance.

Emboldened by their recent success, Yuval and Ohr voiced their intention not only to continue rallying against the new policy until it gets canceled, but in favor of other critical elements of a robust democratic society, such as later curfew, a more generous mobile data plan, and an updated, more progressive definition of the term “clean bedroom.”
