Would you shoot your daughter’s laptop?
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop…
I’m sure you’ve heard of it by now, but if you haven’t, get this: a snotty little 15 year old girl went on Facebook and ranted about not wanting to get off her ass to do chores around the house. In layman’s terms, she shit talked her parents, tried to hide the post from them, and her father found out.
What ensued? Oh, well, you will just have to watch this video:
Crawling King Snake 
I woulda run it over after shooting it .. !
Seen the follow up dramas? Gotta love it ..

Brilliant!
If talking doesn’t reach the child, act! A little shock can help set things straight. Shooting the laptop seems a little crazy though… just posting an embarrasing video on her fbpage and keeping her away from internet may have worked too…
I think this father is awesome! Obviously his daughter did not get the point the first time she did something similar. Shooting her laptop was a visual that will difinitely stick with the child. Personally, I think children should start earning their own money around 12. It gives them a much better appreciation for what they have.
It appears to me that the spoiled brat got what she deserved. Opening the exchange to public scrutiny is another issue.
Awesome! She sounds like a spoiled little brat, and I don’t blame him for being so upset. Let’s hope she learns from this…
