Wow she acted like a typical teenage girl

Good call shooting her loving laptop, making her pay for it, humiliating her online, and then punishing her further

wasn't meant to be funny
it was an observation

I like how he said "Have a good day" at the end there, it's so nice people can be polite these days. :D

My friends did further investigation.

All she had to really do is laundry, by the sounds of it, gardening, and cleaning her bed.

I may not shoot a laptop, but I would at least make my daughter pay me for upgrades and stuff if she did this....if I had one.

Then, pray tell, what joy did I kill?

You seem frustrated in this video, which is understandable. Teens are quite difficult and have little to no impulse control - but that does NOT excuse the actions of adults who sink to that level! If you are as tech-savvy as you claim to be, taking down the offending post would NOT have been difficult. What would have been even better is to entirely delete your daughter's Facebook account. It's social networking, not brain surgery!

Furthermore, if you really want your daughter to get a job, perhaps you shouldn't jeopardize her online reputation! I can ASSURE you that potential employers WILL search online for any information on her. (I might add that most companies and organizations will not hire youth under 16 years old, even WITH a work permit.) Even if she were hired, if her employer found this video, it could be grounds to FIRE HER! No company wants an employee that may reflect poorly on the company themselves.

Since you seem quite adamant about receiving respect from your daughter, let me tell you something: respect is a two-way street. In order to receive it from others, you have to be able to give it! Removing a laptop is understandable. Donating it to someone in need would have been honorable. But shooting it, AFTER having put hours of your own labor into it, doesn't show respect for you, the individuals who built that laptop originally, or anyone else.

Lastly, using a public forum to discipline your child is deplorable; it puts both you AND your child at risk. The fact that you need to post this on the internet for the whole world to see speaks ill of your parenting skills, sir. The proper place for family discipline is at HOME, in the FAMILY, and NOT on the internet.

I love how this has gone viral. :D


Salute to the father, he's a true man who wants whats right for his kid.

He just wants her to not be a spoiled brat.  Nothing wrong with it.

This guy is a complete idiot. Not only did he waste his own money on buying and upgrading her lap top but he also wasted money on bullets to teach a lesson that will never be understood by the student. This girl had EVERY right to post what she posted on facebook. She purposely blocked them from seeing it so that they would not feel disrespected. Because this father was snooping around and found a note that said mean things about him, he decided to act like a child and throw a temper tantrum and THEN he decided to destroy personal property. All he taught this child was that her thoughts and opinions don't matter, no matter what they are. He is treating her like a child and she will continue to act like a child. There are SOOOOOO many more effective ways he could have actually gotten his point across. If he wanted to teach her a lesson he should have taken her lap top and made her buy it back from him....which would have forced her to get a job. Now he wasted his own money, has a pissed of teenager who is NOT going to improve with her attitude but infact have an even worse attitude now. He has also destroyed any chance he had at gaining his daughters respect and developing a healthy relationship with this girl.There is a difference between showing "tough love" and just being an idiotic prick. Then he chooses to confront the rest of the world instead of his daughter about this issue. He also embarassed her which teaches nothing but that bullying and destroying peoples property when you're upset is perfectly ok. This girl didn't destroy their property, she simply stated her opinion which I believe is perfectly legal and morally acceptable. Just because he didnt like what she said or how she said it, doesnt give him the right to destroy her personal property. This guy went wrong in so many departments I could seriously go on forever. It doesnt matter if you think that because you are the parent that you are suppose to have say over everything in your childs life and if they dont listen to you they must "suffer". It only matters that you find a way to earn your childs respect and get them to listent to you and trust you. The girl is 15, not 3 years old. It's time for her to start making her own decisions and dealing with the consequences like a LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING. If this was my father, he would have woken up to a destroyed house and car....and what ever else he owns. He did it to my things...so I can do it to his. The only difference is he has more to lose then I do....he will be the one paying to replace everything....not me. He will NOT be getting his money back for the lap top, the software, and definitely not the bullets. He will be lucky that when his daughter leaves the house for good that he will ever have a relationship with her. He has created so much more bad then good and in the end he is going to regret some of the decisions he made as a parent. The point is this was a waste of everyones time and money. This teenager is going to have a worse attitude then before and this guy may think he won the battle but ultimately he is going to lose the war.

lolz

also i saw in one of the youtube comments someone saying why this is why gun control is needed, and I lol'd at that.

"I'm ok with you picking on me. And I'm ok with you picking on my posts, but I'm NOT ok with you picking on my kid. Yes, I've already dealt with the local police, who by the way said "From our entire department, Kudo's to you, sir."

Now I'm letting my daughter have her interview with Social Services, so they too can be satisfied that I don't yell at her, beat her, traumatize her, lock her in a closet without food, deprive her of basic human rights, make her cut the grass with scizzors, hunt for her meals in the wild with only a spork, or otherwise fail to provide for my daughter. She's great. She's strong. And apparently she's handling it better than some of you are.
And yeah, Jessica-Mason Everett, I'm talking to you."

Recent Facebook post he has made.
