A North Carolina father wasn’t pleased when his 15-year-old daughter wrote a long, angry Facebook post about her home life.
So to punish her for it, Tommy Jordan shot multiple bullets through the teen’s laptop.
And -- he recorded the whole thing.

In his daughter’s post she complains about having to do chores around the house. Jordan uploaded his response video on Youtube and posted it on his Facebook page. Here’s a clip of that video -- he titled it “Facebook Parenting: for the troubled teen”.

“I’m going to put a stop to it, and I’m going to put a stop to it right now... This right here in my .45” 

The 8-minute video went viral, getting more than 13 million views and climbing in just three days.
So, were Jordan’s actions justified or just plain crazy? People spouted off on his Facebook page:

One person commented:
“You are one very twisted dude. I hope you get some help with your anger problem before you use that gun on someone, like your daughter.”

And another:
“Anyone who thinks you’re an awful parent is either a teen (no explanation needed there), or a parent who lets their kids walk all over them. I think your vid was effective and reasonable.”

A writer for Yahoo! also strikes down Jordan’s parenting skills, and even suggests therapy.

“I certainly hope this dad is not going to shoot up everything when his child does something wrong. You didn't sweep the floor; let me empty an entire clip into the broom. You didn't feed the dog; I'll just shoot him to prove a point. Using violence is not a form of safe, effective, consistent parenting.”

Others applaud Jordan’s tough love, saying sometimes it takes drastic measures to get kids to pay attention. Mashable reports, social media and the family is a constant conversation.

“The role of social media in family life has been debated since social networks began to catch on, but Jordan appears to be taking a proactive approach.”

Jordan wrote on his Facebook page that he had no idea his video would go viral and doesn’t plan on seeking more stardom.  He even apologized for some of the things he said in the video and gives this piece of advice ...

"Once you put it out there, you can't take it back, so think carefully before you use the Internet to broadcast your thoughts and feelings.”
