Unfortunately, his daughter's behavior didn't become "out of control" over night. It's something that they've not been doing all along and it's just come to the surface. A family counselor could sort the root cause of the issues in their household, get everyone on the same page and could've saved themselves the distruction of a new laptop.
The laptop wasn't the culprit...just like guns aren't the problem with a bank robbery. It's the "tool" behind the gun...or in this case the laptop.
This video "retaliation" is nothing more than some unnecessary payback, by a parent that should've been trying to be bigger than the situation that was created and be more concerned about getting his entire family into some counseling. Sounds like there's some serious communication issues going on between them. :smiley_chinrub:
Hope it all works out for them.
