#DO NOT TOUCH IT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING !

Electricity can kill you. Yes, even the Electricity from the outlet in your living room (ironic).

no, you do not know what your doing because some anonymous idiot on reddit seemed really intelligent in describing what may or may not be good advice.

.... also, I checked the pic. That's a job for an electrician, as there may be exposed wires behind that outlet. Even if not the connections need to be checked as loose wires on outlets can cause fires or at the very least damage to the outlet or wires that could end up costing more money to get fixed. Tell your dad, because the house belongs to him and you damaged his property, and thats the right thing to do, also he should decide how to fix it.

Tl;dr: tell your dad. If you just hide it, you could end up burning the house down.
