Dad Vs Facebook

What ever happened to Jerry Springer?

Daughter went for public humiliation of her parents.
Got busted by Dad .. publicly.

Hopefully she learned a few things from it.

I have raised two, daughter and son
.. I told my son to get out when he was 16, he was a total jerk to his mom and I.
We are friends now, he is in his 40's.

Daughter has 5 kids of her own.
I have no idea how she manages, two were quite enough for us.

Coupla things I picked up along the way:
Kids .. most go through a war of independence in their teens.
Parent means just that.
Not best friends, not milquetoast.
If a Parent doesn't set boundaries/expectations and hold the child to them then they are not doing their job.
Discipline has to be a procedure, not spur of the moment rage.
The Parent has to be consistent, ie: 'I won't tell you a 3rd time' ..etc.

If a kid developes as a spoiled brat others will have to step in eventually to provide adult supervision.

What gets me is he said he's no dummy that he worked for IT then turns around and says he just spent $150 on updating her Laptop . I don't buy it . Besides I would have used my shotgun .

[PR3D4TOR]

He spent money on software so that his daughter could use it for school. That only means that he has a moral center and don't steal software.

[Flench]

Yeah ? I bet not one person here has spent $150 buck's on software ..

At the end, she was amazed that other people had such amazingly strong reactions. Some said she’d grow up to be a stripper. Others that she’d get pregnant and become drug addicted because of the emotional damage. She actually asked me to go on Facebook and ask if there was anything else the victim of a laptop-homicide could do besides stripping because all the posts seem to mention that particular job and she wasn’t so keen on that one.

This all seems like back-pedaling and damage controll to me. Aside from that it's all short term stuff. He says, "At the end...", but this is just the beginning of the story. The end will be when she accepts or rejects the porn offers when she turns 18. I don't understand why any father would open his daughter up to that by putting a spotlight on her, but something tells me dad wouldn't let anyone trying to exploit his girl live.

The girl says, "...victim of a laptop homicide....", as if the destruction of the laptop is why people had strong reactions. She's downplaying by not acknowledging the public humiliation part (or just not understanding), but I have a feeling it's just making light in an attempt to lighten her sentence by kissing dad's ass. This girl will probably turn out fine, but monkey see monkey do. Others will follow and I just think it's bad parenting. I just don't get facebook though. When I think of all the trouble nazis had to go through to obtain info on their future subjects it just boggles my mind that facebook exists.

YEah the DEA has your number by the click of a mouse now day's ,lol .

[coombz]

this seems like a perfectly rational and mature way to respond to a common issue of teen behaviour

This.   

[Knite]

You know... parents gave their kids worse punishments 40 years ago without the kids immediately becoming drug addicted, strippers,or porn stars. Now you even ground a kid and use LOUD WORDS to do it and people get offended.
Good grief...

[Delirium]

What idiot will discipline a teenage girl using his .45 cal sidearm?

Agreed. Emotion, particularly anger, combined with a firearm is a bad idea.

I feel his pain, but I think he went a little too far.
