What a nasty man.

[King Gizzard]

Wouldn't agree with his methods but it's understandable. I would be pissed off too

[Jack_]

Yes it is cyberbullying. He has basically ridiculed and humiliated his child to the entire world. Her friends, family and a large majority of the planet will have now seen this, a lot of them calling her abusive names when they don't even know her. The thought of being humiliated like this on such a huge scale is just awful, the amount of stress this could cause a young, 15 year old girl is unreal.

I'd be very amused if she walks out and never speaks to him again, as she should do. Might sound a bit morbid but perhaps if she took her own life he'll understand how much of an overreactive, pathetic moron he has been.

I thought the shooting at it was going a bit far, but I agree with what he's saying in the majority of the video.

If I had a daughter and she was being a disrespectful little sh!t, then I'd probably do the same thing (well sell the computer rather than break it), because sitting around and bitching about doing a little bit of house work is nothing in comparison to what her parents provide her.

[Jords]

Its not understandable at all. Everybody has ranted about their parents. OK broadcasting over social networks is a bit twatty (well anything revealing too much of the 'drama' in your life is imo, just attention seeking but its not criminal nonetheless) but shes being made like shes the only 1 thats ever had these thoughts. Shes stressed and was probably on her period when she posted that.

And seriously think of all the innocent laptops that would die if every parent did this

[King Gizzard]

He probably tried everything else but nothing was getting through to her

[Niall]

Roflmao at the posts on his Facebook omg:

The fact that he's gone to these extremes suggest there was probably good reason for his daughter to feel the way she did, and she vented. She's 15. Disgraceful treating her like that.

Any parent would but communication is the answer.

Sounds like he already tried that though. I know it was a bit extreme of a reaction but I can understand how hurtful and maddening it would be, when as a parent you work so hard and so much for your kids and they throw it back in your face like that.

[Jack_]

Also, his overreaction to her using the words 'piss' and 'sh!t' which he describes as 'disgraceful' language or something is totally laughable.

In fact, most of what he says was totally laughable. Full of overreactions and just an attempt for him to display his supposed 'power'.

To me its sounds like hes stuck in the past. Hes practically bullying his offspring to be a 'better' daughter rather than using appropriate discipline. Not good parenting.

[GypsyGoth]

He knowingly invades her privacy, and then shoots her laptop. I think he shouldn't be a parent.

[Jords]

And if anything recording this video to hit back in retaliation was much more childish and doesnt set a good example at all.

[Smithy]

You're all acting like he shot her

It's nowhere near as bad as that judge guy who attacked his daughter

[Jack_]

The sheer levels of stupidity displayed in the comment sections on YouTube and his Facebook are beyond comprehension.

Thankfully, amongst all of the morons spewing their ignorant bile across these sites, there was one that was able to make me laugh:

Your daughter sucks my coq while your at work...

maybe so, tbh, it's hard to even properly judge it without knowing the girl or their situation

nt rly were just having opinions on whats actually been done and said by him. Nobody is saying he should go to prison or anything stupid.

That judge guy is scum.

This guy I think is just misguided.

Because he is right.

You could have alot worse to cry about on FB you fooolish bitch I say

[Benjamin]

Legend! Absolute legend! She sounds like a right, spoilt little bitch. That should put her back into her place.

[Niall]

For those going against the father, he's posted this on his Facebook, and he's made an excellent point imo:

Q: How did your daughter respond to the video and to what happened to her laptop?

A: She responded to the video with “I can’t believe you shot my computer!” That was the first thing she said when she found out about it. Then we sat and we talked for quite a long while on the back patio about the things she did, the things I did in response, etc.

Later after she’d had time to process it and I’d had time to process her thoughts on the matters we discussed, we were back to a semi-truce… you know that uncomfortable moment when you’re in the kitchen with your child after an argument and you’re both waiting to see which one’s going to cave in and resume normal conversation first? Yeah, that moment. I told her about the video response and about it going viral and about the consequences it could have on our family for the next couple of days and asked if she wanted to see some of the comments people had made. After the first few hundred comments, she was astounded with the responses.

People were telling her she was going to commit suicide, commit a gun-related crime, become a drug addict, drop out of school, get pregnant on purpose, and become a stripper because she’s too emotionally damaged now to be a productive member of society. Apparently stripper was the job-choice of most of the commenters. Her response was “Dude… it’s only a computer. I mean, yeah I’m mad but pfft.” She actually asked me to post a comment on one of the threads (and I did) asking what other job fields the victims of laptop-homicide were eligible for because she wasn’t too keen on the stripping thing.

We agreed we learned two collective lessons from this so far:

First: As her father, I’ll definitely do what I say I will, both positive and negative and she can depend on that. She no longer has any doubt about that.

Second: We have always told her what you put online can affect you forever. Years later a single Facebook/MySpace/Twitter comment can affect her eligibility for a good job and can even get her fired from a job she already has. She’s seen first-hand through this video the worst possible scenario that can happen. One post, made by her Dad, will probably follow him the rest of his life; just like those mean things she said on Facebook will stick with the people her words hurt for a long time to come. Once you put it out there, you can’t take it back, so think carefully before you use the internet to broadcast your thoughts and feelings.

Thats exactly right. He did all that because she didnt want to do chores, who does? And she still does them anyway even with all the moaning.
