LNBS: Dear Dr Phil… Facebook Dad owns Dr Phil and Folk loves it!

See, this what the internet is all about right fvcking here! Dude takes to the internet to chastise his child publicly after his child publicly disrespected him and his wife (mother) via Facebook.

So “Dr.” Phil chastises Facebook Dad during an interview with Matt. This is what the “Dr.” had to say.

>>Dr: i think, like a lot of people it was amusing. i think a lot of parents looked at it and vicariously got a chuckle out of it. how many times have weed or tear a door off the hinges. i get that a lot of people’s initial reaction was that we have wanted to do that sort of thing. when you step back and look at the entire thing and what kind of parenting it is, the first thing that jumps out to me is this is a real mouthy kid. i wonder where she got it? this is somebody that acted without thinking. i wonder where she got that? dad sure didn’t pump the brakes before he posted this up.

i don’t think anybody would argue that the 15-year-old crossed a line. it was rude. it was obscene but she’s 15. that’s not an excuse. it’s reality. doesn’t one person in the group have to remain the adult?

that’s the problem here. she has a 15-year-old brain. you really can’t expect her to predict all the consequences of her actions and weigh this stuff out. but he got down to her level. she was disrespectful publicly. she called him names. she cussed at him publicly. he turned around and did exactly the same thing. how is it wrong for him to do it but right for her to do it? you never, ever humiliate your child publicly. that’s not something you do. you don’t ever do that. you are supposed to be the adult, the calm in the storm where you say, okay, you choose the behavior, you choose the consequences. this consequence was radical.

when asked why he did it publicly, tommy jordan wrote, because that’s how i was raised. if i did something embarrassing to my parents in public such as the grocery store i got my tail tore up in front of god and everyone. this is the internet. it’s a lot bigger than a grocery store .

plus, matt, look, even if that’s the case, just because their parents humiliated him publicly doesn’t make it right. what we want to do is carry forward the legacies that are good, not the legacies where our parents made mistakes. the fact that they did it is not okay. i always hear parents say, i turned out well. did you, really? he ratcheted up the rhetoric. here’s the question, matt. what do you do now? clearly she has resentment toward him which is probably passing from a day to the next. i’m not saying overall they are bad parents. i don’t know. all we know is what we see here. this didn’t do anything to lower resentment on her part. it’s just intimidation.

>>Matt: you’re worried about what happens the next time she does something bad. how do you punish that behavior?

sure. it’s like you tell your child, okay, you’re grounded for life. okay. what do you do the next time? they’re already grounded for life. you pulled out a .45 and blew up her laptop. what happens when she breaks curfew or drives and get as ticket. now do you blow up the car? you have advanced the rhetoric so far that you have nowhere else to go.

>>Matt: i want to mention the father posted comments online where he says his daughter has gotten past this. while she had her crying fit and was upset about it initially she now has managed to laugh about it and according to him, is not scarred by it. now i want to give you the results of the poll we conducted online, phil , okay? 120,000 people or so weighed in. 73% said this is appropriate punishment. what’s your reaction to that?

>>Phil: like i said, a lot of parents are voting vicariously like, yep, i have thought about doing that and i wish i had. one of the things i want to say here is we’ve got to look at this in terms of matters of degree. for example, 100,000 children born this year will be molested by their father before they are 18 years old. we have such a serious problem with neglect, abandonment and abusing children physically here. that didn’t happen here. we have to keep it in perspective. did he use good judgment here? no. i don’t think so. as i say, where do you go from here. he got revenge on what she did to him publicly, but it’s not his job to get revenge. we need to keep it in perspective. this is not the most horrible parenting thing i have dealt with on the show this week. so at least it didn’t involve him violating her physically or otherwise. it’s just maybe not the best parenting idea in the world. what are you going to follow it up with?

So this is what Facebook Dad had to say in response…

And Facebook Dad brought up one fvcking good point that Folk had to cosign on 100%. When Folk acted up and disrespected Folk’s parents in public, Folk got that azz spanked in public! When Folk acted up at home, Folk got that azz whoooooppppped in private at home!

D@mned straight Facebook Dad! How y’all feel about this shyt!
