    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Have you seen this dad? : Those seem like things I would do too, but he already grounded her for a similar incident. I would imagine that came with a long talk about it being inapprpriate. The post is already public. Granted no one but her friends/people in her circle would have known it existed if he hadn't done this. Deleting FB might work, but as I said in a PP she can create a new one. I guess I was asking because I feel like all the rational things might have been done, and tit's* like, once all of those options have been gone though, what's next? ETA: I could fix the typo, but it's too awesome.

    I would probably go to counseling with them.
  • He is an adult. She is not. 

    Clearly, she had done something like this before. 

    In all honesty, I can't tell someone how to raise their child. If this is what he saw fit, that's his prerogative. 

    Someone could make an argument that he is cyber bullying his daughter, but I can guarantee that someone will say it's parenting. 

    To each his own.

    [QUOTE]I don't think I've seen one single person who has condoned shooting the laptop Fish, but that's what you're focusing on.  I hate guns.  They are NEVER the answer (unless the question is to how to fill my freezer with delicious organic meat).  I hate seeing gun use be abused like this (which is part of the reason I hate guns) but that's not the focus of everyone's conversation here, but that's what you keep going back to.  I don't know, but in all four pages I read a lot of people saying that the shooting it was wrong, not that it was the most awesome thing ever.  So I don't really know where you're coming from on the thought that everyone things guns are the answer.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Have you seen this dad? : These two things contradict one another.  Isn't the job as the parent to teach her before it becomes something she can never erase off the internet?  Because now she can never erase her rant off the internet b/c he read it right on a viral video.   He made it so that she can never live this down.   Making her delete her facebook would have been far more effective.  <strong>Taking her door of the hinge and taking everything out of her room but the essentials, far more effective.</strong>  Monitoring/limiting internet use, far more effective.   Punishment does not need to imply physical harm.  Punishment should be something you learn from and move on from.   This video does not effectively punish her.  In fact, I bet it will make her hate her parents and revolt more.  It's a shame.

    What? Well that doesn't make sense at all. You could say that about anything. Shrinks don't make it all better, whatever the situation may be. You can't just brush something off as, "oh, just go see a shrink." That doesn't work for all people and it certainly isn't justification for an act of violence, perceived or actual.

    So if you saw someone beating his kid, you wouldn't intervene?  Really?  Because that's his "prerogative as a parent"?  I HIGHLY doubt that.

    I honestly do not think it was. You just said that you can basically emotionally abuse kids but its all good since they can just go to a shrink to get fixed. That is a terrible way of thinking. How about I just break your arm since you can just go to the doctors to get it fixed? Sounds like a great idea right?

    But it's not that easy.  Counseling is not the end-all, be-all for fixing problems.  And even so, it can take YEARS of therapy, HUNDREDS of dollars, for even the slightest bit of improvement.

    I think it's mean to think you can do whatever the fuuck you want to your children and think it can all be magically fixed with therapy.  But OK.
