Seems to me like there are no adults in that family. They all act like kids.
All this back-and-forth over what "rights" a parent has to dispose of property that may or may not belong to their minor child is just so much wasted hot air. SNIP
They have the very same PROTECTIONS FROM AN OVERBEARING / OVERREACHING GOVERNMENT that the parents have.
The US FEDERAL Constitution LIMITS government actions: Specifies the LEGITIMATE functions of the federal government, states that the remaining rights/functions are RESERVED TO THE VARIOUS STATES OR THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES!
Parents are NOT THE GOVERNMENT.
Spoken like a true liberal panty waist!!!! I saw this on FB and the first thing I wondered is how long it would be until dad was jailed for "domestic terrorism" (abuse) as soon as someone from CPS saw it and labeled the dad "dangerous, violent, abusive, ect"
That is not to say I think he didn't cross the line with his theatrics... they were still hilarious.. but I do agree that he may have given off the wrong message....
Agreed... she is underage, thus cannot technically even own some of that stuff... (ie cell phone and contract, etc..) He most certainly NEEDED to make a stand... because either he wasn't doing his job, or the kid was just out of control.
Sounds like time for some tough love to me...
None. If my kids ever get to the point where they act as if my monitering their activities is some sort of invasion of privacy, severe consequences will result.
My GF let her kid (14) and his buddy have 2 girls over and they were upstairs in his room watching a movie WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND UNDER BLANKETS. (this would not have happened with MY kids as I wouldn't even let them bein their rooms with girls, let alone with the door closed although she did say to them "no wet fingers, boys")
So later on, she went to check them and had to knock on the door and ***** foot around and the kid got all indignant with her for interupting them, etc... privacy...waaaaa... I told her if it was me and he acted like a little a-hole to me like that, I would promptly REMOVE THE DOOR and tell him once he learns to be respectful to me and REALLY see what no privacy is like then he can have the door back. Also, girls would be LEAVING as well as buddy and kid would be relegated to his doorless room, get his TV yanked, and be forced to READ A BOOK.
Kids these days have it WAAAAAAAAAAY too easy. TVs, computers, xbox, cell phones... all in their room. They stay in their room all the time and don't interact with the family. THey get pissy when their "privacy" is "invaded"... act like jerks because of the smallest things... Those things are PRIVILEDGES... You don't have a right to cable internet in your room. YOu don't have a right to 40" LCD in your room. You want to bitch and moan and complain about "how bad you have it" well you're about to see how bad it can get.
I have no patience for that kind of disrespect and ungratefulness from children. Not having to work for a single thing in their life, having everything their heart desires, etc... My kid's mother does that to them.... she's getting the oldest (7) a laptop for his birthday. Ridiculous. (hi honey. She reads this forum to get dirt on me) I am going to have my work cut out for me...

Thank you...
So children have NO property rights from their PARENTS
AND no privacy rights from their PARENTS
AND no protection against threats by their PARENTS??!!!
How can this be?? What rights do children have??
I do not agree with how the father went about it but in answer to your above examples of Rights, the answer is NO; with the exception of the latter but I should point out that it didn't seem like the father was threatening her, just disposing of her laptop in a fashion that is more aggressive than merely chucking it into the trash.
Under certain circumstance children ought to have privacy Rights but that does not extend to a public forum such as Facebook. To argue Privacy in regard to Facebook is nonsense since Facebook is inherently a public domain.
NO? As in they should have no rights in relationship to their parents?
With regards to the latter, a child should have a right NOT to be threatened by a parent?
A privacy right? From their parents? How would that work?
So, how is she supposed to see the video if her dad destroyed her laptop?
The guy's got some serious issues. Most kids have similar views of their parents at least some point in their young lives. Destroying their physical property is, psychologically speaking, a bit out to lunch.
You want to damage your kids? This is one way to do it...
I think a case could be made that by shooting her property and with his in your face style he meant to show he was shooting his daughter by proxy.
As his kid that would be my thought. 'OMG, my dad considers a firearm a solution to misbehavior, guess I'm next'.
He's clearly out of control.
