The Tiger Lillies made this into a song called 'Snip Snip' it was entertaining.

Why is the alien coming out of a red shirt of Star Trek?

Also, there was no violence what so ever in this man's response. I think you all need to re-evaluate what violence actually means. And transference from his daughter to a lap top, really? Give me a break with that hippy nonsense.

I have to completely agree with this father. If your kid doesn't learn and continues behavior that is disruptive and disrespectful, I would completely agree with this punishment. Those who criticize this, really? Come on people, it's called tough love and it works. She is his daughter, and he damn sure has the right to do what he did. Good job on his part. If you don't agree with what he did, woopty doo, but I guarantee his daughter will learn this lesson.
