Interesting points and yes he does have the right to view what she puts out in public on face book ... key words "puts out in public" ... the private stuff he shoulda, coulda, and probably woulda used better judgement if he was a better parent. Maybe having a non-confrontalional conversation with the kid would have worked. He also has right to say "No" if his daughter wants new gizmos, etc as he has the right to restrict her time on the computer. Kids dont come with an intruction book but paren ts have the responsibility to raise them the best they can and this guy shows poor class.
Kids , and this is just a kid, can be developed into fine adults with the help of parents that, although they grit there teeth alot, can work with the childs problems without lowering themselves to the childish and/or hurtful displays of the child they are attempting to mentor. Some kids are strong enough to NOT be the parent that their parents were ... which is were the term "break the circle" comes in.
So what does the daughter do now "to get even"? ... after all getting even seems to be the dad's approach .... video of pop's falling over drunk would surely bring a few hits on youtube! lol
.... or there is always family counseling.
