Seconded. Somehow, sadly, I feel like this will be me in a few years.

Oh trust me I agree. Don't think I haven't seriously considered posting this video on my kids facebook as a "warning." :lol:

The dude is my hero haha. But in all seriousness I'm glad to see people standing up to out of control kids. I hope my girls aren't too bad later in life.

Awesome!
But I have to say this is further proof that Facebook is evil. I have seen 3 of my kids grow thru their teen years and have one just about to enter her's. The stuff I've seen kids (not mine, because they have gotten 'the word') post on there has caused more problems and conflicts than I care to recall. As a youth sports coach, I don't go two weeks without hearing about something that someone posted on Facebook that is inappropriate or hurtful to kids who thought they were their friends.

It has taken bullying to a whole new level.

Not sure why so many parents let their (pre)teens have free reign on facebook....and cell phone for that matter.

I would have fashioned some sort of laptop slingshot and used said laptop as a target for my shotgun

I don't get why everybody loves this guy? Stooping to the level of your 14 year old daughter and embarrassing her around the world is cool? While what she did was wrong, he should've been the parent and spoke to her about it privately. Also some of his demands seem a little much. Maybe I was just spoiled.

He spoke to her privately the first time she posted something like that and told her if she ever did it again that it wouldn't be pretty, so just living up to his word. And his demands are nothing compared to what I did growing up and it didn't bother me any

I probably would have had the same response before I became a father.

I've got a 5 year old daughter. I'm [-o< that she grows up to be an angel. I have a feeling she will probably say she hates me a few times growing up, but I know I'll never embarrass her online. Or chain smoke.

I agree with Bdizzle...and personally think that his parenting skills might be the root of the problem.

Ahhh...ye olde "blame the parents" argument. Tell me oh guru of the parent police...what do I need to do to guarantee that my future teenage daughter doesn't go through a rebellious "I hate my parents" stage. If you have that magic bullet (pun intended after that video), then please let me in on it.
