I am glad you posted it. I don't think he did anything wrong. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her comment was, "made me think of you". I am glad to see there is a follow up to it. I was curious about what happened after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yeah, I saw that on the news. She had posted a profanity-filled rant about her parents and they had just spent $130 to get her laptop fixed. Apparently, she didn't appreciate that. So now she is without her laptop. If were him, I would take away her phone as well to keep her from using it to post to FB. That is some tough love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also bet that the prevalent entitlment menatlity is now but a distant memory in her life. Kudo's to Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I wrote: Personally, I don't believe anyone who either does not have a teenage child or who hasn't worked with teens (i.e. teacher, youth worker) is in the proper place to criticize what Mr. Jordan did. Until you have had to personally handle in-your-face disrespect such as this from an "I know more about life than you do", "life is about me" teen, by what authority can you speak on the matter? Better her learn the consequences of such disrespect from a hurt and angry father who loves her than from a boss or a police officer or a judge who mostly doesn't. Secondly, it's easy to be an "armchair critic" when you can have time to consider the situation from a calm and distant perspective. This is different than being in the middle of a situation. Please consider this in your critique. Two people - both probably below age 25, threw insults at me, both using vile words. Amazing. And sad.
