after she calls him every dirty name in the book and thinks he won't find out, of course.

Now opinions will vary on this, but I for one have to agree with the dad. If you read the article, you see that he had warned her earlier about how if she abuses her privilege again, he'll put a bullet in the laptop, and she did just that. This is definitely novel parenting, but I think it's good parenting.

After a 15 year-old U.S. teenager wrote an angry note about her parents but hidden from them on a social networking site, the girl’s father took matters into his own hands to teach her a lesson in online etiquette.
The teen’s father managed to take the ‘To my parents’ note off his daughter’s Facebook wall. Reading it, the note ranted about how she ‘was not their slave’ and ‘we have a cleaning lady for a reason’. She should also not have to get a job, and ‘you could just pay me for all the stuff I do around the house’.
The father, Tommy Jordan, who apparently works in Information Technology, decided to take a novel approach to parenting after his daughter wrote this letter on her Facebook profile and attempted to hide it from his notice.
Now opinions will vary on this, but I for one have to agree with the dad. If you read the article, you see that he had warned her earlier about how if she abuses her privilege again, he'll put a bullet in the laptop, and she did just that.
