For me, there are no questions to ask. The girl is a brat. She was punished for a previous similar offense, grounded for 3 months. Rather than learn her lesson, she turned around and talked smack about her parents in a public forum, and in an extremely vulgar and disrespectful way. The child has an overblown sense of entitlement, and no understanding of consequences of action. She feels as though the world owes her a living. She learned, hopefully, that it does not.

I'm rather astonished at how many people are defending this kid. People have a right to their own opinions, of course - there's no law against that - but from where I stand, having raised 3 children and experienced some of the same kind of rebellion, I wish I had been more like this dad. They might have had fewer issues. On the other hand, it may have made no difference at all.
