On the Today show, we watched an interview that Matt Lauer gave to the father that shot his daughter's laptop about a month prior to. It changed my views on the situation, because at first I thought it was a good idea and he was just doing what a parent should do. On the other hand, I realized that he really did something a little childish, and he overreacted a little bit too much.
I think that some parts of the fight he had made sense. He saved his daughter's hard drive, so it wasn't an entire waste of a laptop and money on software. And, I think that the fact that he stooped down her level and got his point across to her was pretty well thought. I also think the matter should've been resolved in the home, and not be put on the internet. I think he could've punished her the same way/method and still survive without all the hate mail and publicity.
