Now I'm letting my daughter have her interview with Social Services, so they too can be satisfied that I don't yell at her, beat her, traumatize her, lock her in a closet without food, deprive her of basic human rights, make her cut the grass with scizzors, hunt for her meals in the wild with only a spork, or otherwise fail to provide for my daughter.

see what this has all led to. social services and taunts to the kid etc.
bad parenting indeed.

FGS Salman. Seriously. If you cannot understand why the social services comment has been made, you really aren't understanding much of what is going on.

I note you've chosen NOT to highlight in bold the comment the father had from the local police..... "kudos to you" (ie; well done to the father). Didn't that particular comment suit your agenda.

Just to point something out to you Salman. The bit below (taken from what you quoted above, coming from the father's fb comments. See the words in RED

Explain to me Salman, how a father sticking up for his child, making it very public that he is NOT ok with people picking on his daughter: explain to me why you think that is bad parenting.

Good god. How can anyone know what will or will not attract death threats. To suggest the father has some extra sensory powers to allow him to see into the future, is ludicrious.

Knowing about computers doesn't mean you know about the media and society and how people can respond to certain things.

Yes, land of the free. Where citizens are trusted to have the same power as the government. It's called LIBERTY. Look it up.

Or maybe you think only the government should be allowed to have weapons? Tell me how that is liberty?

I do not need to
I have Worked in California.

Even the father thinks what he did was stupid and OTT.

Never again in my entire life will I ever do anything that garnishes this much attention, both positive and negative.

He's clearly apologizing for the spectacle that's been made(by the media), not for his actions.

He didn't think it would get attention like this, not that he think what he did is wrong

Are you unable to understand what those words you just quoted meant because that is NOT what he says.

.

That does not say the father thinks what he did was stupid or OTT. It says about it garnishing so much attention: both positive and negative.

That means he had people for and against his behaviour. He does not say he regrets it - it is the attention that it brought that he is commenting about.

[Roy Mars III]

It was a somewhat silly thing to do, sure, but he obviously didn't think it would get out of hand. Not really bad parenting though

[Me. I Am Salman]

Aside from the video what parent blatantly shows their child that they carry a gun let alone shoot their child's posessions?? Is he leading an example??? That is no doubt bad parenting.

He clearly lives in a rural area and did not display any dangerous activity with his gun.

Only a pathetic propagandized person would be so disturbed by just the sight of a gun.

Parents who lives in areas and countries whereby it is legal, allowed and possibly necessary.

You know nothing about the reasons for him having a firearm.

Media hype ....... I agree.

The man was clearly really pissed off, but he found a way that he thought would be humorous, he clearly had a tongue in his cheek the entire time. The man doesn't seem mean or horrible at all when i watch it.

I've seen mean people, and this man does not seem mean to me. he seemed frustrated sure, but he channeled that frustration in a creative way, and i don't think he was being mean or trying to "bully" or "humiliate" his daughter. He was actually being really creative. And i garuntee you his daughter will see the funny side a few years from now.

I saw a father who was absolutley incensed, very angry, unbelievably disappointed and at the end of his tether with his very ungrateful and spoiled daughter's behaviour.

He explained why he was now feeling he had no other option than to get his message over to her in this manner - a way in which the daughter understood - by airing it all in public - becauase all other previous punishments were not having any effect of her - she was still doing it.

[Roy Mars III]

He obviously didn't expect more than her friends and such to see it. It was proabably a silly thing to do, but he had probably tried other forms of punishment which didn't work and was desperate to try to find something that did. That I can understand.

Hopefully through all this the spoiled brat learned some respect

[Lee.]

Hahaha... brilliant. The cheeky spoilt little brat may have to get a job to buy a new laptop now!

Thing is: many of us older ones on here know that this is how it feels when you are a teenager: that's what the teenage years bring (for both the kids and the parents). Teenagers think they've really got a hard life, and are really hard done by: parents know that's not the case and like her father, compared what she has at her age, with his life when he was her age: and she had nothing to be bitching about.


And I agree with Lee... this will be one of those brilliant family stories that come out at Weddings etc and will provide lots of laughs years down the line.
