They very first lines of the post established that no one in this thread suggested he didn't have the right to destroy the laptop, but Gaborn argued as if that was the case. He's being criticized for wastefully destroy a laptop when he could have sold it or donated it, and for a youtube stunt designed to publicly humiliate his daughter.
Know what is obnoxious? People who post things that don't address anything in my post properly. There are plenty of kids in college that don't own computers and would greatly benefit from having a laptop. The simple fact is that it would have been far more beneficial to sell his laptop or give it away.
i could not believe some of the kids here.
seriously, she was 15 and using curse words to curse her parents on Facebook (an open public forum).
when i was much younger than her, i was spanked with flip flops and a belt. the worst was an extension cord,
that, and i was grounded.
maybe it's the asian in me, but man these kids are punished by what, timeouts? ROFL. that kid had it easy. i couldn't even curse even quietly to myself 'cause it was instilled in me that it's a horrible thing yet these kids shout it out for the world to hear.
amazing.

Well, this thing called a "Job" helps out. And given that this guy looks like he is American, millions of people drop that amount on cell phones.

And I'm asian and raised as a marine brat. Corporal punishments were used for simple trivial things such as lieing about breaking a plate at 8 years old which resulted in belt whipping, physical beating to the extent of breaking of glasses and bleeding of nose. And let's not forget the constant yelling that is staple to the asian family.
After all that I've come to learn that these type of punishments are not the way to go, what about you?
So I guess the people who have hundreds of thousands of youtube views for taking apart/destroying the latest gadgets should also be taken to task for being wasteful?

Know what else can be shameful? Having a parent who wears uncool clothes, or talks in a certain way, or any number of things.
And the kid will be shamed as a result of the parent being who they are.
So, this teenage girl was "shamed" on YouTube and it's wrong.
Hey, marrec - do you know what else a good parent knows? What their kid can and cannot handle. Did you read the update? His daughter could handle it, and clearly holds no ill will towards him. She's over it. Or do you just want to keep talking about a subject and indeed a person you know nothing about...?
It's his child. Not yours. That'll never change.

Yes.
Taking apart, not really if they can put it back together, but destroying, yes they should be criticized.
I would sit her down and explain to her why what she said was offensive. I would have her talk to the "cleaning lady" to hear what she does all day and how difficult it is. I would try to make her understand that being in a family means making a contribution.
I sure as hell wouldn't go out and make a jackass of myself on Youtube to "teach her a lesson." Especially not one that makes me look like a violent psycho.

I don't think a rational person could call this "instilling fear."
Same. He could have sold it(ideal since he would recoup some of the costs of buying the laptop and software for her) or found another way to destroy it. Other than that I approve of everything he did. The child really seems like some self entitled brat. Pay her for chores? Really? And I thought our generation was spoiled....

I like the fact that the guy is old fashioned at felt some sort of action was necessary, but it sucks how wasteful he is of his own money and his daughters computer.
You've never heard of an allowance?

You use a gun to shoot something that you gave to your daughter and make her witness it.
you left out awesome!
whoever makes their child's nose bleed because of beating is not doing it right.
by 8 years old i wasn't stupid enough to lie about breaking a plate. why would you lie when you'll get caught anyway?
for me, corporal punishment is the way to go. when i was a kid i hated my aunt for beating me (my mom never beat me), but as i got older i realized it was love. if they just let me be like the other kids in the neighbourhood, i wouldn't be the person i am today. and im telling you the other kids were terrible. they did pranks and vandalized and whatnot. as a kid i thought they were cool like that but uh now i think it was disgusting. lol.

Not nearly. Clearly you don't understand the meaning of the word.
LOL paying your kid to do the chores? you must be kidding me. wake me up when the kid has to pay their parents for feeding them milk every night when they were babies.

How is this psychologically/socially damaging at all? Honestly?

It's not. It's just what weaklings say. Don't mind him.
yep, but who says you're entitled to one, and who says she never got one either? It's possible (and probable) she gets one and on top of that she wants to be paid for chores too. Even if she didn't they're buying her laptops and cellphones, which is already overkill. You're not entitled to money for doing basic chores.(really, based on the Dad's description her chores are barely chores at all)

Yeah sure corporal punishment might work for you but can you honestly say it can work for all, or that there might even be a better alternative that doesn't involve physical abuse?
If you can't sit down with your child and talk as equals on issues on growing up and have to resort to corporal punishment you're doing it wrong. I learned more about life and being mature during my last 2 years of high school when my dad finally "became tired" and decided to actually talk with me as an adult. It's only that I can thank for mutual respect for my father but not love.

ignorance at its best.
if my kid cusses me on an open forum like Facebook using shit I bought, then i have every right to do anything.
seriously if i had a gun with two bullets in it and i was in a cave with Bin Laden, Saddam, and the laptop, i'd shoot the laptop twice. end quote. XD

Nope, sorry. Even less so because she didn't even witness it in real time. Fear of what, exactly?

The way I was raised (or lack of proper raising anyway) resulted from my father and I finally sitting down together and addressing each other as equals (at the age of 16).
This. She barely did anything anyway.

This thread is slowly making me realize how little of GAF knows anything about parenting, much less taking care of children.

He donated some bullets. More effective way of getting your message across than handing it to some person. Food should be donated, no need for a laptop to be donated.

Why a cave? And what would you be doing in a cave with two dead guys?
Pretty much. If I needed money, I had to mow lawns or rake leaves depending on the season.
Parents are supposed to be their kids' bff's. Duh.
God damn this thread. So many different side of GAF showing up.

Fear of the gun? Let me guess, were you too raised in an environment where shooting firearms at random and fun were commonplace?
You should check out marriage threads.
Mr. Enigma

On what basis? Or do you talk shit about your loved ones on Facebook too?
dude, that's your problem not mine.
it's probably because you did one thing bad, your parents punished you and you questioned why you were punished so you did bad things intentionally trying to be all rebellious yet your parents punished you further.
bottomline they're not gonna punish you if you didn't so anything wrong.
because for me, as long as i didnt do anything wrong i wasn't punished.
The gun part is the only part I raised my eyebrow to, nothing else. If he threw her laptop over the roof or sold it, I'd see nothing wrong with anything he did.
