(11,065 posts)What in the world could possibly be PRIVATE about posting what she did on the internet??? She shared her thoughts on the internet that anyone could have seen.
I can see why the father is pissed but he handled it REALLY badly. Essentially he did the same thing she did by making this video and posting it on her page... she complained about her parents on the internet and he complained about his daughter on the internet. He's the parent and is the one that is supposed to be setting the example. Any reasonable person that read her rant about her parents would have recognized how childish and bratty she was behaving... her father shouldn't have had any concern that she posted it on the internet because it's obvious that's what it was.
Shooting the laptop with a gun is whacked out behavior, and is very disturbing. Great example there, dad, giving an example to your kid that it's appropriate to shoot with a gun many times that which pisses you off. HORRIBLE example of appropriate use of a firearm. This dude shouldn't be allowed to have guns if this is how he behaves with them.
She's a typical 15 year old rebelious kid, and it's no surprise that she acts like one. But the father is supposed to be the adult, and ended up acting far more like a bratty child than she did. Because of the media attention he's humiliated his daughter before the entire world, and who knows what emotional trauma this may cause her. This was a family matter that should have been kept within the family and not broadcast to the entire world particularly because of the media attention it's gotten.
