What do you think of the father's response to his daughter's obscene post on Facebook? Was his YouTube video appropriate or abuse? Explain. Did the daughter deserve public humiliation and/or a blown up laptop? Why or why not? Have one of your parents done anything similar or worse to what this father did as punishment?

I believe that it really comes down to every parent on how they want to raise their children. If he wants to shoot his daughters laptop than in the beginning he probably bought it in the first place. But for his daughter to post something about her parents that is one of the most disrespectful things i've ever seen. And I would never have even imagined posting something about my parents. So bottom line, it is his daughter and it falls to him to raise her the way she should be.
I think this punishment was completely fine. This little brat was being rude and if she knew anything about the internet putting cuss words on a viral site will be brought up in her future and if she wasn’t trying to act all big and bad none of this would of happened. I think his daughter deserved it and when I saw this a few weeks ago I was proud of this dad because he is a good father. As for him being the adult out of the two I think he was, he understood that he paid for the computer and she should not disrespect him. He is also southern so they have a different way of discipline. And for Dr. Phil, Gosh I hate him! He doesn’t know what he is talking about! Abuse from this dad, no it’s called parenting, is he even a dad? Is he even a doctor? The father pays for all her technology so he had the right to do whatever he wants with it.
I think it was wrong for the father to do what he did. He shouldn't have put that video up, I think he should have just gave her consequences in their home, not public. The daughter didn't deserve this humiliation or a blown up lab-top. I think he should have just took her lab-top away, because that's money HE, himself, blew up and that's rude to put out on public. My parents haven't did anything like this. They would just take whatever is causing the trouble.
The father really didn't have to response like that. Personally I think the video was not appropriate, because that was uncall for to put the video on the internet. The child was wrong for what she did, but she didn't need to be public humiliation. They also didn't have to shot the laptop, they could of kept it for theirself. My parents have never did anything similar to what this man did.
I think this video is so funny. I've actually seen this video before, and there's more to go with it but there really not school appropriate. This girl is only 15 years old she should not have posted a letter like that on Facebook. If I were her parents I don't think I would have shot her laptop I probably would have kept it for myself or sold it. This girl is very rude and she doesn't appreciate anything her parents do for her obviously. I think the father may have went a little over the top but I mean what goes around comes around I feel as if she deserved it to be honest. The daughter made a reaction video to her dad shooting her laptop, it was a lot worse than this. Thanks for sharing this!

I think the father's response to his daughter's post was a little overreacted. I think he let his emotions get the best of him. I don't think his Youtube video was inappropriate. It seemed a little childish for him to do that. His daughter's actions were inappropriate but his actions were inappropriate also. He should have calmed down and then thought of a more suitable punishment instead of destroying her laptop and posting a video. He not only humiliated his daughter but he made himself look silly.

This went too far. The daughter is in the wrong for putting that on the internet but the father is no better because he did the same and then shot her laptop to bits on camera for the world to see. That video was very inappropriate no one deserves public humiliation like that. If its a family problem keep it in the family don't show it to the world. My parents are luckily not strict. If I make a mistake I get scolded of course but I don't get hit and I rarely get anything taken from me. We have a relationship in which they trust me enough to learn from my mistakes. I have a great relationship with my parents mostly because of this.

I think the father's response to his daughter's obscene post on Facebook was crazy.I think it was crazy because she is a child and all children will and have say things like that.His YouTube video was not appropriate,because he should have handle the situation in home among his household not the whole wide world.His daughter did not deserve public humiliation and/or a blown up laptop.She didn't deserve it because she may get picked on,and instead of blowing up her laptop,he could have just took it away for awhile.No my parents have not did anything like this or worse!
I think the father over reacted there is plenty of other ways to punish your child you don't need to go crazy on her laptop. The punishment was definitely appropriate it's just the way he went about giving the punishment that wasn't. No she didn't do anything that was real bad I mean her dad acted like she killed somebody, she should have just been grounded or something. Not really my parents just ground me and make sure I've learned a lesson.
The father's response to his daughter's obscene post on facebook was kind of what she deserved but might not have been the right way to handle it. I think that the YouTube video was neither appropriate or abuse. He didn't break any laws but his way of parenting isn't a way that I would have handled it. It's one thing to blow up the laptop or just take it away (because he waisted a perfectly good laptop)but public humiliation is a whole different thing. The public humiliation probably did teach her a lesson but like Dr. Phil said, how is that father going to punish her with the next bad thing she does? Neither of my parents have ever done anything like that and I am very thankful.
I think the father went to far about shooting the labtop. I really don't know if the youtube video was appropriate or abuse. No I don't think the daughter deserve public humiliation and blowning up the labtop. Why, because he should had just punished her in a different way instead of shooting up a labtop. No, my parents have never done anything like this to me.

Hahahahahahahaha! This sounds like something that would happen between my sister and father. I think his response is completely appropriate. The daughter humiliated her parents by calling them names and cussing at them, so her father responded in the same way to show his daughter how it felt. However, i would expect his behavior from maybe a teenager but some parents have different styles of parenting. We don't need Dr. Phil to tell us which way is the "right way." Plus, why is he making this about neglect and molestation? Obviously, the child does not have to deal with those things!
i thought the father's response was a bit crazy and a bit right. I think it was appropriate i don't think it's abuse he just harmed an object not a person. No i make sure i don't post or say things about my personal life at home .
I think this video was appropriate, and maybe she will learn her lesson. She may not have deserved to be embarrassed but she was the one who wrote it on her facebook where anyone could see it, she shouldn't have complained and cursed. My parents have never punished me in that way, but I think if they ever do I would definitly learn my lesson!
I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with what the father did. The 15 year old girl probably thought it would be funny and cool to post that stuff on facebook, when really it should be kept to herself. I think his video was funny but then again I believe it will help to get the point across to many other young adults. ZACH CAHALAN
I think the father got upset because his daughter called him out. I believe the father was just upset because it was true. I think he should have handled it differently not as so dramatic. I believe the 15 year old was acctually just reaching out for help, obviously there is some issues at home. My parents have done some things like this but not this dramatic.
I think that what her father did was amazing. I think it was appropriate. I think she deserved it. My parents havn't done anything like that before.
Wow, okay he took it too far by posting it on YouTube and shooting the laptop. His daughter was wrong by putting something like that on Facebook, but it was the families business only, not the whole world. He could have just taken her laptop and grounded her. My Grandma (I live with) has never done anything like that to me. Kids disobey their parents and do wrong thing, its a part of life. She should have been punished but not like that.
I think that she deserved some punishment, but not the way he did. I think that he was wrong for posting it on the internet. if he was gonna shoot the laptop at least just do it without showing everyone. It's their business and noone else's. -Josh Cutchins
I think the father was just being a father. I think the video was appropiate because she basically did the same thing to him. She did derve to be publically humilialted to teach her a lesson. If she's cute tell her to give me a call.

I think that the father took it too far. He didn't need to shoot her laptop and he especially didn't need to humiliate her in front of the entire world through the internet. He could have punished her by taking her laptop away or something like that. He is just setting a bad example by doing this. All he did was pretty much the same thing that she did.
The father did nothing wrong. His video was appropriate. Yes cause she embarrassed him and he probably paid for the laptop.
His YouTube video was not appropriate. He should have dealt with this in his home with his daughter and his wife, not publicly. The daughter did not deserve public humiliation and a blown up laptop. She didn't deserve this because the father was also wrong because he did the sane thing that his daughter done. Two wrongs don't make a right. No, my parents wouldn't have done anything like this. They would just took away my laptop. I agree with Dr. Phil, that wasn't the best parenting skill.
I think that the daughter shouldn't have posted what she said on Facebook. That was very disrespectful of her. Her parents do a lot for her probably, so she shouldn't do that. Also, she shouldn't have used foul language. The father, also, shouldn't have done what he did. I would have been very embarrassed. You should never do that to your child. I bet she is very embarrassed. Everybody in the world watches Youtube! The parents are the ones who are supposed to act like a parent not get revenge and act childlike. He got very mad. I would have too. I wouldn't get so mad that I would post a video on Youtube and blow up her laptop. My mother, father, and grandma have punished me when I was little and also now, but have never done it in public.
I wouldn't call that abuse because the daughter isn't being harmed in any way. He probably shouldn't post a video of him shooting the laptop on YouTube. She shouldn't have posted what she said online. Did she really think her parents wouldn't find out what she said if she posted that online. The least he could have done was not post what happened to the laptop on YouTube.

I think his response to her comments was both inappropriate and appropriate because she should not have wrote it on Facebook where everybody can see it. He was inappropriate for acting like a child and letting everything that she said become public. He should have kept their business public because no one needed to know all of there business. The father should have just took the laptop away instead of shooting it. Just because he was angry didn't mean he had to go crazy on the laptop. My parents have never done anything outrageous like that with me because I honor my parents and I don't want all of the good things that I am blessed with, taken away.
The father's response to the post on facebook wasn't good. His youtube video was an abuse because, that's invasion of privacy. The internet is much bigger than anything else. The internet is there for everyone to see. The daughter deserve public humiliation because, she humiliated her dad in public.

I agree with correct punishment, but he did go over the line. She was inappropriate and selfish, but He should have been the adult. I wouldn’t call it abuse, but I don’t think it was right because two wrongs don’t make a right. The fact that he was publicly embarrassed by his parents; it doesn’t give him the right to humiliate his children. I loved the part when he talks about what he did when he was her age. First of all you’re a man, suck it up and second, did you like your child hood?, if you didn’t , than why are you trying to put your child in the same situation. My parents have never done anything this bad towards me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....HAHA.....ha.... That's what she GETS!!!!!!!

I felt that the daughter deserved some punishment, but not necessarily in this way. Although she publicly humiliated her parents, he should not have shot her laptop, at least not for a Youtube video. I think that what he did doesn't help the situation, and if anything it will make his daughter resent her parents more. The father was irrational and out of control, and his daughter did not deserve such dreastic public abuse. My parents have never done anything this drastic.
I think his response was needed but he overreacted. It was an appropriate video to get her to see she can't do what she wants. She deserved what she got because she was talking bad about her parents. Nothing has happened to me like that.
I'm stuck in the middle. I don't know whose side to take. She was wrong for putting that long comment on Facebook only for the world to see, and the father was wrong because he posted this video on Facebook to humiliate her daughter. As far as I know, I wouldn't go around and humiliate my kids in front of everybody. Now, she did deserve a blown up laptop, because, evidently, she had done the same thing before. Obviously if she did it again, then why wouldn't she do it a third time? She can try to frame that jacked-up laptop on her wall. No, my parents have never done something so stupid like this.
I think it was his choice what to do and he brought the laptop so o well. It was appropriate because he did not touch the child at all on camera. I think she deserved both because her Facebook status was disrespectful. No my parents haven't.
