What you post on Facebook, may come back to haunt you.

A man in North Carolina (Las Vegas) taught his 15 year old daughter what we may call a lesson in tough love when he unloaded his pistol into the girls’ laptop after she posted a lengthy critique of her parents on Facebook. To top it all off, he videotaped the shooting and put the video on her Facebook page.

What do you think of the father’s solution? Was he being too harsh? Just right? Or maybe he didn’t go far enough?

The father also explained that his daughter had previously been grounded for writing a similar post on Facebook, and that he found the most recent post while repairing her laptop. “I would have thought with a father that worked in IT for a living, you’d have better sense than to do it again,” he said. “Since you want to hide it from everyone, I’m going to share it with everybody”

In the expletive- filled post, the daughter happens to rail against her parents for making her do chores, accusing them of threatening her like a “slave” and demanding she be paid for all the work she does around the house. Pay her? Seriously? For chores that she is actually supposed to be doing in the first place.

Should parents pay their kids to help around the house or is it regarded as our responsibility to be able to help with chores such as cooking, and keeping the house clean?

Not only can a simple Facebook page ruin the relationship that we have with our families but it can also destroy our careers as well. Be careful on  what you post on Facebook, you may never know when your dark day is going to haunt you.
