A no-nonsense father from North Carolina is making national headlines after he posted a video response to his daughter’s “disrespectful” Facebook rant.
Tommy Jordan said his 15-year-old daughter, Hannah, wrote a letter entitled “Dear Parents” on Facebook complaining about the chores she had to do around the house.
According to a report on ninemsn, Hannah blocked her parents from seeing it, but her father, an IT professional, somehow managed to view the post.
The father upset about the rant took his frustration on her daughter’s laptop, in what he described as a dose of “tough love”.
Jordan filmed an 8-minute video response to Hannah’s letter and posted it on her wall for all her friends to see.
In the video, he reads out his daughter’s letter and says, “I don’t know how to say how disappointed I am in you, and how disrespectful you were to every single adult in your life.”
“Kid, you’ve got it easy, way easy. It’s about to get harder, it’s about to get a whole lot harder.”
Mr Jordan then pulls out a handgun and shoots nine bullets into Hannah’s computer, including “one from mum.”
The video titled “Facebook parenting: For the troubled teen” has gone viral on YouTube with over 800,000 views in just two days.
Mr Jordan’s post on Facebook that read, “Today was probably the most disappointing day of my life as a father and I don’t know how to correct the situation. Since I can’t seem to make any headway with my daughter on Facebook, I chose instead to remedy the problem permanently,” with a link to the YouTube video has also attracted more than 13,000 likes, about 6000 shares, and almost 7000 comments at the time of writing.
While some feels that the action was immature, most comments praised his action.
