Dad Strikes Back After His Daughter's FB Post

The problem is that you don't know whether you will be able to replace them after she gets the money together.

That's my only real problem with this. When situations warranted, I embarrassed my kids in front of their friends, such as showing up and removing them from places they were forbidden to be at and suddenly appearing at places they were supposed to be. However, I would have never aired the family dirty laundry in public like he did. Not for her sake, for the rest of the family. While I've told acquaintances about episodes similar to this years later, I would never broadcast it on facebook.

Okay, I love the idea. The dad has some great points and I'm sure his daughter was/is being an immature little brat. I thought the dad handled the situation alright for the first 7 minutes and thirty seconds. After that, I feel like he made himself look like a giant whack job. I mean come on, you're going to make her pay for the bullets too? I'm glad that I saw this though.

P.S. The fact that he's wearing an Indiana Jones hat and smoking a cigarette makes this video so much better.

I definitely think he overreacted with shooting the laptop. I think selling it or donating it would have been a better idea. For the sake of a youtube video, though, it was kind of cool.

I have mixed feelings. I can appreciate what the father did & obviously it makes great entertainment.

With that said, it did not do anything to address the bigger issue, nor did it help their relationship at all. Although the daughter's post was immature, the father's video was even moreso.

I say Good for Dad. She obviously is a handfull as he mentioned that she had just gotten her computer back after a three month punishment from a similar incident. She did not learn her leasson , so the father told her if it happened again it would be an even more severe punishment. Well, I just hope this one is severe enough. GO DADDY.

Wonder what the age of the posters are on here that "liked it" vs the ones that "didn't like it" and if they have any teenaged kids?

37. Three teenage kids and a 12 year old. Liked it.

Shooting the laptop was over the top but I am not against a by any means necessary attitude to get a teenage kid's attention as long as there isn't any violence involved. The death of the laptop made for great video and if this was a real situation then I will say he made his point clear before he shot the laptop. He seemed hellbent on shooting it.

I loved it.

Father is an Idiot and seems to be barely literate . I'm 64 3 kids soon to be 4 grandkids . Donating it would have been better than destroying it

Perhaps donating it would have been better. But since we don't know his daughter personally, not sure how we can make a judgement on how his treatment was the right one for her or not. Personally, I may not have shot it, but I likely wouldn't have donated it. I'd have burnt it, ran over it, something. Abby from NCIS couldn't have extracted info when I was done with it.

I saw this all over facebook this weekend, but was leery of clicking on it because of viruses, glad to have finally watched it here.

I think its funny. Not sure it is how I would handle it if I was a father, but I bet he got his point across. "Oh yeah, you're going to pay me for this bullets too. $1 a piece" haha!

Agreed. I think the guy is nuts.

46, 3 girls. Soph, 7th, & 4th grade. Made my oldest watch it. I see nothing wrong with what he did, different strokes for differnet folks.

Hated it. I always hate when overreaction is the "punishment". All he likely accomplished was getting YouTube hits for himself, and driving his daughter further away.

45- 2 Kids, 25 and 24.

I guess we will never know for certain but what if his video works on his daughter?

Where's he live? Just check the local strip clubs in 5 or 6 years and see if "Cinnamon" bought herself a new laptop yet.
