That's a pain in the buns
Tough love, that's where its at. She needed a good public ripping, she didn't obey the first time, second time she gets the full wrath. I agree with it. He tried the more conventional way of grounding, taking computer/cell phone/etc away. It didn't work. Sometimes you gotta think outside the box to get your point across to people.

Daddy/daughter day went well, as usual. She's a good kid, and we have fun together. Shot some hoops, taught her how to play HORSE, crushed her like a bug - you know, the usual feel-good story about dad teaching his daughter to shoot baskets.
The Birds-and-Bees conversation was remarkably harder than I thought it would be. She's nine, and we've done our best to keep her insulated from the nastiness out there in the world. She doesn't watch any kind of show that would remotely be sexual or nasty or inappropriate, and we don't swear around her, etc. You are only a kid once, and while she is not sheltered, we've made sure her childhood is secure. (Don't read too much into that - it's hard to describe a decade of parenting in a few sentences. She has a normal life)
So, anyway, after spending all that time not talking to our kid about grown-up stuff, suddenly our job was to break down that wall. I figured it would be like telling her about Santa Claus, but it was tremendously harder than that. I'm not squeamish about talking about sex, but even still, I found my pulse beating harder, my breathing just a smidge quicker.... I was as amazed at my reaction as I was at hers. She took it really well, asked a few questions, and got a decent idea about what's going on. We talked about sperm and egg, penis and vagina, but of course we didn't get into the recreational side of sex. There's time for that later. Like when she's 30. It was a good first talk - the first of what will be eventually be several.

I'm all for corporal punishment, spankings, yelling, tough love, etc. But this guy clearly just wanted attention. Every point he made in that video could have been addressed through less public means, less property damage.
But by all means parents of America, start shooting shit you bought to get your point across. Post it on the internet. Get interviews with Good Morning America. Just don't forget to blame yourself when your daughter completely shuts you out and turns to porn when she turns 18.

See tsteels316's comments below. As for property damage, he paid for the laptop (and the hollowpoints).OH10;2108871; said:
Yep, not to mention the fact that his daughter went out of her way to pubicly lambaste her parents. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.tsteele316;2108905; said:

Yep. I have to admit, I'm not sure his approach was the sort of thing is the way to plant the seeds of deeply positive change in his daughter's heart. But if it's time to try something different, the way he chose sure was funny.MililaniBuckeye;2109611; said:I'd like to have this guy as my neighbor...
