Let’s face it, we’ve all said something that we might not be too proud of on the Internet. But one girl from Albemarle, North Carolina found out just what happens if she oversteps the mark by disrespecting her family on Facebook.
Tommy Jordan’s daughter posted an irate status to her friends on Facebook (not her first, after receiving a 3 month grounding previously), being careful not to include a List that included her family members, so they weren’t able to see it. It involved her thoughts on being made to do chores, being woken up by her brother and being a general slave to her dad and stepmother.
However, she forgot to include the dog’s Facebook profile on her block list, and her dad found out. He decided to record a video in response. It may be a little extreme, depending on your views:
The video has gone viral, receiving interest from US TV stations and news agencies. Jordan has received an immense amount of comments on his Facebook post about the matter, later clarifying how he came to find the post and what has happened since.
He invited his daughter to record a response video but she declined, it seems she may have learnt her lesson.
More great finds from around the Web at TNW Shareables.
Stupid teenager. She should move out while she is so smart and knows everything.
That way she can pay her own rent, utilities, food, cell phone bill, clothes,etc.
I am sure that would be much easier than living at home and having to do all those chores.

LikeI thought the message was really strong and positive until the end, the last bit was unnecessary. I'm really glad guns are illegal in the UK. I don't think it is acceptable to be violent through anger in any circumstance (even toward objects). On the news recently there was a study that showed that by exercising to 'let of steam' acts like a reward and perpetuates anger in adults, I sure shooting a gun also comes under this category. Consistency would have taught a better lesson.

Wow.
It sounds like a spoil brat; parenting went wrong. When she turns 18, she will run away with Boba and live happily ever after, lol
Y'no, when I was a teen, I probably had the same feelings about chores. I certainly had the belief that my parents were unreasonable, and I was sick of the whole arrangement. So, I simply moved out... Yes, I still had to clean and do the same chores, but now I had a whack load of new chores. Perhaps one might say I got what I deserved, and ended up with more than I bargained for, but despite having to do all the chores which we are faced with, I really did not mind, as they were for my own benefit. I am glad I had the sense to exit stage left before anything came to this level of extreme.....
POST VIDEO: Beyond him smoking, the father makes perfect sense. I was paid for chores, yes, but very very little. Little girl, where do you think all that heat, hot water, FOOD, light, trips, gas, and bed come from. Cleaning the counter doesn't seem all that difficult.
Ah, yet ANOTHER parent who smokes, just amazing what we think is not effecting our children. NO sympathy.
You step out of line, you got what you deserved. Respect for the dad.
Giving the laptop away would not have given the proper emphasis that was needed in the situation. He did it exactly right.
LOL, should have given the laptop away instead of shooting it full of holes. And yeah, teens hate their parents, so what, he was a little extreme. And grounded for 3 months? Kind of loses it's effect/meaning. But, the video on her wall must have made a point! So funny.
Dr. Phil....
Yea, give me a break with this "normal" and "hillbilly" bullshit. My dad would of shot my ass, if I said a tenth of the things she said. Stop listening to dub step, and start learning the meaning of respect.
Disrespect is normal?
What kind of dad is this? He should be happy that his daughter is posting normal stuff on Facebook.
Bad parenting, Really?
Tough out there in the real world . . . bet this kid remembers this forever!
Good example of bad parenting... You get the kind of kid you foster. And a teen needs to rebel, exaggerate and feel unwanted. And my god, that's exactly how she must feel. A decent parent WOULD get mad, but this is pure punshment, when hugs are needed instead.
wha's this? hillbilly parenting?
OMG!
