This video of a father choosing to use Facebook as a means of discipline has been circulating the web this morning like someone lit it on fire and yelled “hot potato!”

It has received a variety of reactions, some using words to shake their finger in the fathers face, others offering written high fives. Here are just a handful of the comments prompted by this extreme video:

“If my parents had done this to me I would have swallowed a bottle of pills.” -grasshopperddr

“You are my hero. I have a child and see nothing wrong with what you did. You warned her multiple times what would happen. Kids need to realize that having all these things, phones, laptops, iPods, are a PRIVILEGE not a right. It is a parents job to teach their kid how to behave properly. My mother didn’t believe in being paid for chores either. If you live in a home it is your responsibility to help take care of it. If more parents were like him, our country would be a much better place.” -logankrbsmom

“we sit together with our arms around each other, we LOVE each other, This guy does not truly love his child, all I have to say about this guy and has never been said better than in “meet the fockers” “ASS–HOOLLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” -acet4s

“As an 18 yo girl, I approve. What must parents these days don’t realize is that even if we get caught, getting facebook and our computer away will just make us angrier: in other words, we just do stuff like this again. Maybe he should have sent the laptop to charity, but the pubic humilation lets her knife he’s serious and insures she won’t be doing that again.” -Lynnthoria
