Can we at least agree that it can be accomplished without posting it online for everybody to see?
Who cares if it was posted online.
I personally would not post such a thing on the internet. I have a reason for that though. My daughter does not think that life revolves around the internet and FB. That could change though and one day I may be smashing a laptop/phone/pc on an internet video.

I really don’t care though.
Lol, you guys really don’t get it. Teens will bitch about their parents. It happens. But why the hell would you go and humiliate your kid? This shit happens. But why, as a parent, would you knowingly try to humiliate and cause grief to your own kid. That is not the answer I will tell you right now. When I look back at my punishments, I say yea I probably deserved that. But… I can also tell when they were straight up being dicks, like in fourth grade when I said I hated my mom, we had a talk about it. She was clearly angry, didn’t whip me though. When I thought about it, I realized that I was being selfish, so I decided to apoligize and do everyone’s chores for the night. The asshole holds a grudge and actually went to my school, in front of my class, to publically humiliate me by telling the class the entire situation. Got made fun of for what felt like the rest of the year. Even now I see that it was totally un needed punishment. You k know what the talk did for me? Plenty. You know what the humiliation did? Refueled that hate. What you do to your kid should be private. I have never overcome public humiliation without resentment towards them. If they ever did this shit to me, i’d probably never speak to them again. It really makes me wonder sonetimes if thr public humiliation is for discipline, or for their own personal enjoyment.
It’s bad parenting not because it was too harsh (arguable), but because… what do you think the reaction will be? Do you think his daughter will stop posting rage about her parents on the internet? Do you think his daughter will become a better person because of it?
Don’t you think the daughter will hate her parents even more? What problem does this solve? Realistically, if this happened to me, I would just make very, very, VERY sure that my parents never have access to anything that I post ever again, not to not post rage anymore.
The dad thinks that the problem was that she posted it in a public place. The daughter thinks that the problem was that she failed to make sure her dad didn’t see it.
It’s bad parenting because he’s going to fail in his objective.
Because turnabout is fair play…I guess.
The latter.
This thread makes me regret humanity.
Thanks for being a drop of reason in a sea of stupid.

Punishments that last that long will just garner resentment. Public humiliation will also garner resentment. This guy will think that he is hot shit until he notices that the rift that he created with his daughter in her early teens will keep her from ever giving a fuck about him or his wife later in life. I see her making a lot of bad decisions in her late teens and early 20’s just to spite her parents. I also see their relationships never fully recovering.
People really need to choose their battles and look at the big picture.
Taking it out of her hands sends the message, regardless of how he does it. She loses the ability to use Facebook because of what she did on Facebook. When her friends want to know why she doesn’t have a computer, she’ll have to explain why. She’ll have to get a job and save up for a new computer, which he’ll probably have to give her permission to buy once she finally does get that money. She’ll learn the value of hard work and learn to appreciate what her parents have done for her, and she’ll have a token of her lesson in her laptop. If he sold it, he would have a little extra money in his pocket to do what he seems fit with. He could use it for groceries, to pay bills, or even give it to charity if he wants to. He could even buy some nice little electronic device for himself to punish her; imagine if every time he used his new iPhone she had to look at it and remember how he paid for it. Instead, he shot it and it gets to rot somewhere. It’s pointless and wasteful. I could understand more if he did it on a whim, but I doubt that was the case since he took the time to print out a script, set up the camera, and film it.
The fact that he took the time to set everything up, went so far as to shoot it, and uploaded it to his public Youtube channel gives me the impression that he cares more about stroking his ego than getting his point across. From what he says, he’s not even planning on her seeing the video for herself. And if she has trouble living it down, she’ll have a long time to worry about that. Think about all the crap she’ll be getting from her friends if this discussion of people that have never met her got up to four pages, and this video isn’t going to just vanish when she learns her lesson.
It doesn’t matter, what matters are the principles. You are assigning an arbitrary and imaginary value, which is irrelevant. this is setting the example because its establishing that posting things on an online public forum can become lead to unintended consequences and exposure. this goes past punishing her for shitting on her parents. Its also teaching her that her action on the interwebz carry real weight in the world. What better way than to teach a person such a lesson. All of you that are saying this is going to far, or that its not the right way to handle it. Aren’t really thinking about this shit.
And if this is somehow responsible for any future generated hatred of her parents, a downward spiral into drugs, or involvement in the sexual services games. It doesn’t mean that the parents where bad parents. It simply means that she is a shitty human being incapable of rational thought and analysis of the situation and her actions, a complete waste of space and resources.
And all liberal leftists are assholes.
See what I did there? I also hope that you understand the irony of your words, and the contradiction of those same words as well as they go against the things you so firmly believe in.
because OMFG nuke exploding hollow point bullets, fucking over kill, and because he has a gun he must be an abusive son of a bitch!!! GRAHH GRAAHHH GRAAHHHH!
Like a motherfucking BAWSE!
lol @ “THIS ISN’T PARENTING, A REAL PARENT WOULD SIT HER DOWN AND HAVE A HEART TO HEART WITH HER!”
This is clearly coming from someone who has no idea what trying to have a “heart to heart” with a 15 year old teenage girl with a shitty attitude is like. You’d most likely end up putting those explosive rounds into your own temple. Or hers.

I hate children. I will never have them. Some of the replies that I have read make me hope that some of you never become parents. If your actions lead your child to be a bad person, that makes you a bad parent; or at least makes your actions bad parenting.
Some of you fuckers sound like the typical abusive parents who do the same fucked up shit that their parents did to them and then just blames the child for not reacting to it “properly”.
Indeed. Quite a quandry!! How do you solve this problem?
…with RENT-A-RUGRAT! With our revolutionary system, a childless person can experience all the joys and pains of having a child or children, depending upon the program selected. This is one of the most effective ways for those who have no children to learn if they are ready for the big plunge. Try it today!!!
…Yeah. If only huh?
-Starhammer-
lol sure, if shes a spoiled brat, shell react that way. or shell still do stupid shit during her teens and early 20s, then hit mid to late 20s or possibly have kids of her own and realize how right her parents were and come crawling back begging for forgiveness for being such a stupid cunt, and thats when her dad [S]LAUGHS IN HER FACE[/S] hugs her and they have a great relationship for the rest of their lives
for real, my nigga sounded mad hurt and sad and shit 
He didn’t have to sit down and have a heart to heart talk with her. I think taking away her laptop and making her buy her own was a fine punishment. It’s harsh, certainly, but it should make his point. She learns to appreciate the value of the hard work that he and her mother did to earn the money to buy that laptop, and she learns that her actions online have consequences. Shooting it on video and putting it up for the world to see was just masturbatory in my opinion. It doesn’t say “look at the consequences of what you did and think about it,” it says “hey everybody look at me and my awesome punishment! Aren’t I an awesome dad?”
This guy is like his daughter, an attention whore.
