I don't know why I watched that, probably because it is right beside the youtube video. I didn't understand a word she said...but she got large...hm...pixels.

For it to have reached this point, he (and his wife/stepwife/whatever) has failed as a parent. However, I am very happy to see he's reached critical mass and did something about it.
I just deleted my 15 year old sons facebook account. No need to destroy a good computer. He lost all his internet privileges on top of it till school is out.
Oh yeah, and he said far worse things about us on Facebook. Makes you wonder what these kids learn in school anymore. Comes home dumber then he was before he went.
He is all pissy about me turning off any texting on his cell phone to, complaining I have no life now. Tell him in return, he never had one to begin with, other then be the kicking post for everyone he pissed off. Kept telling him, if he kept up talking about his friends this way I had no control over what might happen to him. After reading some his posts, had no choice. Would more then likely have received a call to identify a body. God, I was pissed. The stupid crap they do now.
Just need to step back and regain control.

Family matters should stay in the family, not be broadcasted for the world to see. This guy is pathetic. A 15 year old is not an adult. She is obviously way off the mark when it comes to understanding her role in the family and accepting responsibility, but her dad should know better than to escalate the situation by making a youtube video. With a parent like that I'm not at all surprised that her daughter is acting the way she is. Discipline is necessary but publicly humiliating your 15 year old daughter by doing something like this is beyond the pale. And if he wants to point fingers at why she is acting the way she is, then he needs to look in the mirror, because by the time a kid is 15 it is too late to teach them responsibility and respect - that's something that is learned from an early age and her behavior is a reflection of his failure to instill these virtues in her. Some people no doubt admire this guy - I loathe him.
