Will her father shoot her mobile phone or else ?

[Miro]

A couple of hours ago , a dad made a video shooting her daughter´s laptop . She, can still get access to facebook, if she got a cellphone or mobile phone . Will her daddy make another video ? If these remedies dont work out , will he shoot her own daughter ? People, no matter how your child/teenager is spoiled , you should never resort to violence (guns and stuff like that) . For me, she and her daddy needs help .

She wanted to be a smart mouth. she thought she was being cute. He took her phone. And, he should have. She should be thankful she wasn't MY kid.
She's disrespectful, and she got what she deserved. If MORE parents took charge of these smart mouth disrespectful teens, we wouldn't have as many problems.

I agree with you violence isn't the answer, but unfortunately these days most parents today were raised without structure morals and the right way to discipline a child, more parenting classes should be offered for those parents as well as anger management. If this child/teen is going through something (If the dad is abusive) authorities can and should be called by the girl or by a relative or friend of hers.

Did he lay a finger on the kid? No he didn't but he should of. I would have smacked her smart mouth into next year.

I personally thought the video was hilarious, but I think he should have given the lap top to charity. That is what I would have done. I don't think he would harm his daughter, personally I think she is a spoiled brat with a wrong sense of entitlement. I too started working at age 14, at 19 I moved out, worked 4 jobs and put myself through college. It seems to me you are not a parent, you have no clue how far kids can push you. I come from a home with two alcoholics who abused my brother and I and my brother committed suicide at age 17 thirteen years ago. I swore to never hit my kids and I stuck with it 99%. Our kids are 11, 10 and 7 years old and they too have chores, daily chores. They are great in school, we are very proud of them and because they work hard and are pretty good kids they have nice clothes, ipod touch's, actually they have everything they want. My husband and I work hard to make their lives wonderful. Everything we do is with our children in mind.
Do they get in trouble? They take turns everyday and they get punished with having their "toys" taken away, extra chores and no computer time. Sometimes (especially with the girls hitting puberty) I too am pushed to the limit. I can understand and respect what he did and I hope that little spoiled brat of a daughter wakes up and smells the roses. My kids have no facebook accounts, because they are too young, but the crap would hit the fan here if they EVER wrote something like this about my husband and I and their lives would too change dramatically. Once you are a parent, you will understand.

He may in fact shoot her phone next, instead of sitting her down and talking to her. He had a choice between talking to his daughter and shooting her laptop. He took the cowards way out of the situation. He has no parenting skills and I hope Dr. Phil steps in. He needs to learn that parenting isn't about getting a child to do what you want. It is about raising a child into becoming a healthy, happy, stable adult. What is the purpose of his discipline? What did she do wrong? It appears that she was being a typical teenager and ranting about her parents to her friends. She may have even been PMSing. She felt safe expressing her feelings because she used facebook privacy settings to lock her parents out of seeing her status. What she said was never meant for the whole world to see. Mentally healthy people need to blow off steam every now and again to their friends. He claimed on the video that since he works in IT for a living he was able to see the status that he was locked out of. If a father publicly humiliates his daughter by opening up his facebook wall to the public, posting a video on youtube, and puts his daughter in danger of being bullied by her classmates, being bullied by strangers on the internet, does that make him a good parent? Worse yet, by making his privacy settings public and by having other videos on his youtube account, a person can easily figure out where she lives, where she goes to school, where she goes to church, who her relatives are, and where her parents work. They can also see a video of her dad getting drunk on New Year's Eve, five years ago, and kissing a guy full on the lips. That would be very embarrassing for a teenager. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T_KzzSX4bQ The way people are talking about her, it worries me that the whole world has this information. Parenting is also about keeping your child safe. A firearm is not a parenting tool, and neither is public humiliation.
