Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen.

Warning: Since this video seems to have gone crazy, I figure I'll post this notice. I'm going to read a letter my 15 year old daughter wrote. There ARE some curse words in it. None of them are incredibly bad, but they are definitely things a little kid shouldn't hear... not to mention things MY KID shouldn't say!

My daughter thought it would be funny/rebellious/cool to post on her Facebook wall just how upset she was and how unfair her life here is; how we work her too hard with chores, never pay her for chores, and just in general make her life difficult.

She chose to share this with the entire world on Facebook and block her parent's from seeing it. Well, umm... she failed. As of the end of this video, she won't have to worry anymore about posting inappropriate things on Facebook...

Maybe a few kids can take something away from this... If you're so disrespectful to your parents and yourself as to post this kind of thing on Facebook, you're deserving of some tough love. Today, my daughter is getting a dose of tough love.

I can't be the only one who thinks this is wrong right? Typical teenage rebellion. Nothing special, better shoot her laptop and humiliate her on the internet.

Not a shit father. He's just making a point to his kid. Think of all the kids, whose parents let them do and say whatever they want with no consequences. By adulthood, many of these kids become OUR problems. He mentions his kid not having a lap top until college. Many kids don't even have college in their future. You may not see it, but this guy loves his daughter very much. Caring parents shouldn't be afraid to straighten out there kids, and shouldn't care about what we think of it.

I do the same chores as he does an would never talk to my parents that way. And pay would be nice, but damn girl it's no like they don't pay for ur food, home, laptop and EVERYTHING

I think shooting the laptop was too far, shoulda took it away from her or better yet sold it. But kudos to this man for not being like so many parents are today and just letting his kid walk all over him, his daughter sounded like an asshole.

Well if she has done it before and she didn't believe his father. I think this is right

Too right :D

Yes, actually I am serious. Parents cannot control every aspect of a child's life, I have known many children of abusive and selfish parents, whose kids are by society's standards well mannered.

From what you have seen on this video, he explains that he has attempted to talk to her about her prior infractions but she hasn't paid any attention to him.

Hypothetically, if you were this girl's parent and she had written such vile things about you. Your own daughter, what would your reaction be?
