But as for the original thread. The parents did the right thing. If their kids were acting up as they said and dad threatened and they wouldnt listen, this is harsh reality for the 3 kids in hopes that they take their father more serious in the future.

I guess. Anyway, the oldest one brought it on himself when he double-dared his father to do it.

But still, who really cares about someone else's kids acting up? You're the parent, you know what to do, so just do it, and don't make some big ass production out of it.

Considering the media will pickup anything that sounds remotely "bad" to the parents or whatever. Hell, a recent story where Yahoo! is sticking to the privacy policy of not handing over a dead soldiers email account to the parents, people get outraged because he's in the military. The privacy policy states your account will not be turned over to anyone else (maybe FBI, but only if its really serious). And because Yahoo! is sticking to the privacy policy the military person agreed to, the parents thought that they could just put it in the news thinking Yahoo! will fess up and do it.

IMO, I'm glad Yahoo! isn't making special exceptions. If 1 person could get access to an account, Yahoo! would get a TON, and I mean a TON of complaints saying "Since they got access to the email account, why can't we?"

But sorry for rambling on
