seriously, respect has to be earned , not saying she does not deserve what happened but maybe it was a last resort , seems to me there is a lot more to this story than everyone knows. The question of respect , money and facebook giving promises that obviously meant nothing to the person createing the message online and the fact the parent had no idea of how his daughter was going to publicly display her feelings about home online. Then there was the entitlement she felt she deserved , now there is a question that should be answered . But, as I stated the laptop could have been recycled for later use but recycled never the less they are getting a bit much on the pricey side fact remains the respect shown to her family is perhaps the more important issue her , and how the father displayed his angry could use some interest prehaps deeper issues are embedded here no one knows about. Just saying it isn't fair blaming the laptop after all the keys don't type themselves now do they ?
To give you some context to this poll, read this blog here:
