This man should get the Father of the Year Award. His daughter might hate him now, maybe for a long time. But when she grows up (which my also take a while) to be a useful, productive, self-sufficient member of society instead of an entitlement driven drain on her friends and family e.g. the occupiers, she will thank him for that character building moment of national humiliation.

Mama Says
”Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear them or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.”
~~Rick Warren
Pray for Our Nation
2 Chronicles 7:14New International Version (NIV)
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Ephesians 6:10-18New International Version (NIV)
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Observations and Opinions of a Middle Aged Housewife 
I have to agree with you!
We have just quit ‘parenting’ our children. Society. Divorce. Social Media. It has all affected the kids that we are turning out into the world. The narcissism and disrespect are disappointing.
Good for this man. He took his power back. He ‘parented’his child regardless of what anyone elses opinion was going to be. He parented without fear that his kid would go ‘running’ back to live with the ‘other’ parent.
He acted like a pissed off hurt, and disappointed Father. How refreshing.

Thank you for your comment. He didn’t seem to be worried about shattering her fragile ego either.

I was mostly amused by the comments people have made on the video itself, about how the girl would be scarred for life, etc. The only reason a kid would be scarred for life over losing their computer and being grounded is because their parents haven’t done their job raising the kid to be strong and resilient. I doubt that is a problem for this guy’s daughter. She’s lucky to have a dad who cares that much.

Hi fellow housewife. Thank you for your comment. Though it may be well intentioned, one of the worst things we can do for our kids is protect them from disappointment. I have to remember quite often when dealing with my own kids that it’s not the kids they are today but the adults they grown up to be that will be the true judgement of my parenting.

This video really has had an impact. The other day I was scolding my college aged daughter about something and she looked at me and dead earnest said “You’re not going to shoot my laptop are you?”
