Meh, could've been handled better. He could have a better attitude, then again, so could she.
I look at my relation ship with my parents, and I look at my best friend's with his. Wildly different. His parents are much like the guy in the video. They are rough, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Thing is, they overdo things, they get worked out over nothing and humiliate him (verbally) for no actual reason. This makes him rather rebellious and sometimes unpleasant (towards them only). Which makes them even more rough, which makes him...you get the idea. No idea who "started" it, but it's not going well.
My relationship with my parents is somewhat merrier, on the other hand. To be honest, can't remember the last time we had a real argument. It's not that we don't have disagreements. It's that it never was necessary to raise the tone, or do something as glamorous as in that video. Simple words were always enough. Goes both ways, mind you. I listen to them, they listen to me. And I'm not an easy person, I'm rather...odd, myself. Extremely different from my parents, which can cause friction. But I keep it to myself. My room is an awful mess, but I keep the rest of the house clean, for example. I may not do certain things they'd want me to do, but then again, I don't demand stuff from them. And so on..
Of course none of that is possible, if either party is unwilling to make it such.

I think he was just past his breaking point. Americans don't freak out in the way we do.
I kinda like this guy, but its also a bit of his fault that the girl behaves this way. Guess thats the kind of behaviour kids start to evolve if they get everything whenever they want it. If she wants a new laptop she has to earn it, I never got anything without working for it, because thats how life works. You dont get fancy things for doing nothing.

This.
I used to have a friend when I was in highschool and I would go to his place occasionally.
It was obvious that they were doing it hard now that I look back on it.
I was at his place one day and he asked for some $$, was told no where upon he basically exploded and told his MOTHER that he knew she had some $$ and to give it to him.
I, from memory, was a little bit shocked. If I had done that with my mother, it would have been over.
I would have been perma-grounded.
These days, even as old as I am, I'm still living with my parents.
I pay them a fair amount of money once every two weeks.
I've got it good, much better than a lot of people out there and I know it.
The girl is in the wrong, she was warned, but by the same token the father perhaps went a little too far.
My head tells me that the girl WILL get to see that video, friends will find a way.
The situation will spiral out of control, you can be pretty sure of that.
The girl will move out/run away ASAP.
I'm just waiting for the video to hit the news down here in some fashion.
All up it's a bit sad that the situation has gone so far.
One of the parents should have stopped and thought about it, although it's obvious the father has done some thinking about how to address the problem, he, in my opinion, stepped over the line.
