love it
i think he's an actor and this is some sort of stunt
Good life lesson.
Better parenting than the guy that whacked the people who de-friended his daughter. of course that was in Tennessee though.
I know how frustrated parents can be, as I reared a son and daughter, and now I have two teenage grandsons. This video shows no love or any real parenting skills. The guy is over the top. I know his goal is to teach his daughter something, but he may be teaching her how to hate and how to get away from the home ASAP. If Social Services were to see this, he may be in for more than he bargained for. His intent may have been well-founded, but his methods surely aren't.
Better this way than beating the living **** out of her don't you think.
She was disrespectful to her parents in ways that NO ADULT PARENT shoud EVER have to put up with.
For those who think he went to far, you need to think, think hard. Taking a thing from a person can hurt them more than any beating ever could.
Of course, with the liberal mindset out there with so many oversized chidren that.... well. I rant. enough.
Good for him.

No love, or parenting skills? Have you seen today's teenager?
So many parents continually threaten their children with no real action. This father followed through with his word. Maybe more parents should take notice and start acting more like parents to the children than friends!
When I was growing up we got our asses whooped. I picked a switch or caught a barber strap.kids back then only got in trouble for a lil drinking or mischief. Now days if you touch your kids you get charged with all sorta of crimes.and the kids today tote guns to school have sex on the buses are in gangs and kill.they have no respect for anyone. If I spoke to my father and mother or any adult like that I'd be beat.that's why we didn't.it's time we bring the old school back and beat our kids.thus time out crap only works so much.times have changed and its time that parents deal with their kids accordingly and time for the state government to back off and let us raise our kids the way we were.
Now if time out works for your kids good for you.don't respond.we don't care.this isn't for you.this is for all the parents who can't control your kids or who have disrespectful kids.beat them.put the fear of god in them while you have a come to Jesus metting with them.you may not like it.but it just may save your kids

so you think she will be better off in a home. You are a total ... Social Services are you kidding you think social services would help this girl maybe she should spend a year in a home then ask her if it was better
I love it, but I think I would have sold the laptop for $130.00. map
Although I may not personally be comfortable with the style, I do not consider it poor parenting or abusive. If he didn't care, he'd let her run wild. In fact, it was rather like having a flash back with my husband's "discussion" with our 15 - almost 16 year old son last weekend minus the gun fortunately. Our son wrote my husband/his father a very inappropriate and disrespectful text to vent his feelings after my husband made him toss out approx 24 coke bottles my son had been collecting. Maybe half a dozen had sentimental value with notes on them. My husband basically told him if he was going to disrespect him again that when he turned 16 in a couple months he could leave and he wouldn't stop him. I didn't like this idea but restrained myself since my son didn't seem to jump on the idea after my husband explained much like this guy how it was for him living on his own at 16. The two of them just needed to communicate better ultimately and I think they got a lot out there on the table that needed to be said in our case. Glad he doesn't do facebook since my husband is always an IT guy.
If social services were to see this?
The WHOLE COUNTRY has seen this. And most agree with him. So according to you, the mass majority have no parenting skills or love?
Personally I think a shotgun would have been better to use.
I love how everyone who agrees with this maniac says "could have been worse" just because it could have been worse doesn't mean it's okay to do. That and if he is doing THIS in public what is he doing behind closed doors? Stunt? Hopefully but if not, this guy clearly needs his gun taken and his child. I don't think there was ANYTHING the girl posted that was bad enough to go shooting stuff up. Seriously? You ppl can't REALLY be agreeing with this. Then again..maybe this is a stunt to flush out the real crazy parents. Well good luck to all of you who are physcos, hope the social services don't pop up at your door anytime soon. Crazy ppl I swear. No wonder our country has gone insane.
I totally agree with this dad. My daughter has done far worse on the internet and endangered herself at 13 yrs old. We took her laptop away for 1 entire year, which her therapist thought was too much. Well let me tell you the lesson wasn't learned. Within 6 weeks of getting it back she did similar behavior. Sooooo we haven't shot it, but guess who has a new laptop and who no longer has one. Thats right it now belongs to mom - and when she is old enough for a job she can buy one - like at age 18.
6:35, what world are you living in. Why is it crazy for a parent to use the same media that the child used? Was the child right? Was the child crazy? How would you had handled it? Or are the perfect parent with perfect children? As it was said children don't come with hand books, but I feel if you start with love and go from there you are one step above. I have two, 35 and 37 and although they didn't always like rules they still had respect. And yes I am not perfect but I have and will always show them love, hard,soft and in between. They know that. If ever they needed me I have always been there. I have always told them how much I love them and how much they mean to me. But, I will not stand for disrespect from them or anyone. I do my best and so do they. What more can a parent ask for? If ever I felt that I needed to do a video I would. Like I said I would not take out the laptop, I would have sold it. millie
He destroyed the laptop, he didn't harm the child. Although she might need a good spanking.
Granted he could have used another method besides a .45 but regardless, he got his point across.
And he said the mom told him to shoot it once for her. So they are in agreement.
Maybe they know things we don't.
Always whining about unruly kids and when someone takes a stand you whine about that.
Let people discipline their kids and mind your own business.
It's worked for thousands of years.
One thing did stick out of his conversation in my point of view. Paying your kids an allowance for the chores they do around the house helps them learn how valuable money is and how to use it wisely. I'm sure if she saved her own money this way, that laptop would belong 100% to her.
As for Dad shooting it for her actions, I still agree with that. It would even hurt more if it did belong to her! After all, she did use it to hurt her parents.
I have to say that I am going through similar things with my daughter. I believe that this guy is in the right for doing this. It seems the more we do for are kids, the more they expect and believe they are in the right. I have tried to give my daughter a easy life and my wife believes I am ruining my daughter. I have to admit she is a good kid and she is very smart. I used to believe that if I made my daughters life easy for her that she would turn out to be ok. The bad thing is that the more I give and do for her the more she expects and don't respect the things I do for her.
