Good for him..
 
Father of the Fucking Year
 
What an overreaction. Heaven forbid his 16 year old daughter act like a teenager. Now his daughter is gonna grow up to be a stripper and will pay her dad back the $130 using ones that old men stuffed into her underpants.
 
gotta agree with jonzee. I mean i like that the father is taking a stand and showing that parents shouldn't let their kids walk all over them, but this was a huge overreaction and not to mention extremely hypocritical. So his daughter was a little cunt and says some bad shit about him on facebook, and yet he goes and essentially does the same thing. Rather than showing himself as a stern leader he is appearing in a very knee jerk reaction way than anything. The girl is 16 for fucks sake, what 16 year old girl isn't rebellious. Rather than taking a gun out and blasting her laptop (as badass as that was) he should try communicating with her the way a parent and adult should.

For the love of god, don't read the youtube comments.
 
See I can't help to think what my life might have been like if I had a dad like that growing up. My dad left us when I was very young and I was coddled by my family because I was disabled. That left me with a zero work ethic and with no value of money. So yeah she is just 16 years old, but when she is 34 and has a productive life you can look back at this video and understand how she made it.

Good point. But isn't there a happy medium somewhere between coddled and getting bullets shot through her laptop? I'm not saying she doesn't deserve punishment or that what she did should be excused. But I think this father lost sight of the fact that she's a teenager and teenagers, by and large, are fucking stupid sometimes. I got caught shoplifting when I was 16. Just got my license. My parents didn't go put a bullet through my transmission. They picked a punishment they found suitable without embarrassing me publicly and it sent a clear message. Had they shot my transmission (or whatever the equivalent is in this case), it would have been damaging to our relationship, probably long term. Instead, they were reasonable and still sent the same message. I never stole again.
 
I think you all missed the part where they went through this a few months earlier and he warned it would be much worse. To each their own, at least he didnt just throw his hands up in the air and say fuck it.

The difference between you and this man's daughter is that you learned from you're mistake. In the video he had said that this has happened before, but he did not take that action even though he wanted to. Instead he "grounded" her for 3 months. When his discipline did not work the first time and the behavior continued/worsened, he took it to the next level.

I do agree, a gun is a little over the top for sure. Parents make mistakes and learn from them as they go. Being an IT guy he should have just removed the ram or something, but I'm guessing at the time the shock and awe factor seemed like the best option. One thing is for sure though. She will not be talking about her mom and dad on facebook again lol.
 
If someone causes trouble, break their prized posession. Haha. This girl is going to put a crobar through her boyfriend's windshield when he cheats on her.

"Officer! He DESERVED it!"
 
Oh man. Rednecks and computers, a happy marriage.

Also, at 16 I was moved out, attending high school, MIT and Harvard, a volunteer fireman, had 4 jobs and found time to be a world class weight lifter. Oh. And I volunteered at a soup kitchen every day. Every. Day.
