well if your fifteen year old has a dolly ,,,,but yes its stealing ,,taking something that dosn't belong to you

so what previous history is there then what heinous crime had she commited in the past

well she told him to get off his arse and make his own coffee
she told him if he wants a garden to shovel his own fertilizer instead of sitting back and watching her do it
she got the hump when she'd just cleaned the floor and he went in with his muddy boots on and made it dirty again
she has to do her own laundry,,, whats that all about ?
she said its not her responsibility to clean up her parents ****
her dad left home at fifteen ,,wonder why that was ,maybe something maybe nothing
he cant even remember why he grounded her before so it must have been something really bad
he just seems hacked off because he spent six hours and $ 130 on the laptop
i hope he dosen't charge by the hour when he's doing his IT job

she just sounds like a normal teenager to me
 
a disrespectful teenager that seems to have been given everything she wants and doesn't appreciate doing a bit of housework to help pay her way for all the nice things she has as she doesn't have a job to pay for them herself. Call me old fashioned, but are you saying its wrong for a teenager to do chores around the house, when she ia given everything she wants only for her to bitch on facebook about how hard her life is, nobody understands me because only i feel the way i do. my parents were never 15 once etc... So regardless of her dad shooting her laptop, taking it away, confiscating it grounding her or however any parent deals with it, is it acceptable for little princess to slag off her parents to the world and make them out to be cruel evil uncaring people when in fact she probably has it better off than most? He just seems like an average guy that really finds respecting parents and elders a very important thing, he even said a few times how she was warned on a previous occasion about ranting on facebook and causing a scene and told her there would be serious consequences if she did it again. Naturally cocky know it all teenagers seem to think they know best and won't get caught again, but forget we were all teenagers once and whatever they think they have done, we all did it too, so there isn't any trick or fib they can try and fob off on us. She just called his bluff and got a new vent in her laptop

:lol:

brilliant. Parents all over the world who confiscate things from their children as a form of punishment are nothing but common thieves.

Who knew?

I think this debate has moved over to the side of the ludicrous now so, you have a good day. I'm out :thumbs:

Really? Even if you bought it? Besides I reckon the police wouldn't touch that with someone else's barge pole.

Now, can we please unconfiscate our senses of humour..

so you would be afraid to confiscate your childs stuff in case you get arrested? This is the reason why this country is going downhill with disrespectful kids who have no boundaries and run wild, because some parents either chose not to discipline them or just cant be bothered. Now I am not accusing you of falling into this category nor am I judging your own parenting skills either.

you cant smack them, this is physical abuse.

you cant confiscate their stuff as this is theft

you cant lock them in their room as this is unlawful imprisonmnet (happened to a friend of my mums)

You cant shout at them because this is emotional domestic abuse.

So what options does that leave parents with?

When I was about 10 years old, my Dad smacked my bare ar5e!

Does that make my Dad a bad parent?

Let me fill you in on the details......

A girl who lived a few doors along from me was a right tom-boy, we were playing footy in the garden and she went a little "weird" (she was 11 by the way). Only being 10 myself I knew women went a little weird every now and then (my mum went a little nuts whenever there was a * on the calendar) and I said "Go away love and sort your life out" which was a little catchphrase me and my mates had.

Well this girl went beserk, nigh on pushed me through a wooden fence and ran home crying.

The next morning her Mum came round, I got sent into the garden while she spoke with my parents.

About 20 mins later I got called in and Dad asked me to apologise to the girl and her Mum, I questioned why and Dad said because I'd told her to go away and sort her life out and it wasn't very nice. I remomstated a little saying it was something everyone was saying but he said it wasn't nice where this girl was concerned as her parents had just split up.

I continued to argue the toss that I didn't know about her parents and he said regardless, I still needed to go and apologise.

I refused again and he said he'd give me one more chance or I'd get a "special"...... A "special" was a fabled form of punishment in our family, at the age of 10 I'd managed not to incur this punishment which was a smacked bare ar5e so I called his bluff......

BIG MISTAKE!!!! Writhing in agony on the floor with my trousers around my ankles I yelled..... "That's it, I'm calling the Police", Dad handed me the phone and said "Go on then!!" :lol:

Shortly after that I went and apologised but I had learnt a few things:

1) "Specials" were real and they hurt lots!!!
2) Dad wasn't bluffing
3) Sometimes, although you might not agree, you need to do the right thing and in that situation the right thing to do was to apologise.

At the age of 35 I totally understand why Dad did what he did, I needed to be taught a lesson and perhaps at that point in time, the only way to do that was a "special".

IMO that makes my Dad a great parent, I can honestly say he never "lost the plot" with me, I got smacked when I deserved it but he never hit me in frustration or temper.

So I'll ask again....... Is my Dad a bad parent?

Perhaps this girl needed her Dad to shoot her laptop, OK it's a little more drastic than a smacked backside but this could have been a turning point in her life?

Nope. I used to get a slapped arse when I was a bad kid... always from Mum though and it never did me any harm.

I am prepared to bet £100 that you wouldn't. Look up confiscate and steal in a dictionary.
 
Can't believe what i've just read in this thread ...the threat of getting arrested for confiscating a dolly because of naughty behaviour ,is that for real!!!! my o my !!

Nowt wrong with a bloody good clout around the ear or a hot ASS certainly taught me how to respect elders... no end and i still do as matter of fact .:D


Looking back at the video ,would definitely like to have seen more of an explosion when he shot the poor lappy

It doesn't meet the legal definition of theft (which is "a person is guilty of theft if they *dishonestly appropriate* property belonging to another with the intention of *permanently* depriving them of it") ergo, it isn't theft so you wouldn't get arrested!

what if i pumped nine rounds of .45 into it ?? would that be fairly permanent ??
 
Nothing funny about shooting your daughters laptop, ******* weird i think. Anyone seen Bowling for Columbine? Gun deaths are rampant in the USA, what will happen if she really makes him angry?

my thoughts as well Simon ,she might have been a stroppy teenager ,and if he cant handle that ,what if she really hisses him off ? kids can drive their parents nuts ( i've had three go through it ) but it passes ,,i hope mind you my oldest is only twenty four so i've got a while yet:D
