An irate, gun-slinging father has become an Internet sensation after he avenged his daughter’s bratty Facebook post with his own eight-minute rant that ended with his shooting his daughter’s laptop. Police and Child Protective Services then paid a visit to the laptop-shooting dad.

  • Kristi Shepard: U got to be kidding... cps always over steps their bounds or fails to step in when actually needed... what a joke of what should be and could be a great system... Police and CPS visit laptop shooting dad. Video went viral with 22 million views
  • Megan Perry: are you kidding me?? He should have gotten an award not a visit from CPS!!
  • Steve Walker: They visited because so many random idiots filed complaints. They found no wrongdoing and the cops told him he was doing a great job and wished there were more parents like him.
  • Missy Thomas Overton: I understand what the article states, I just think it is ridiculous that there are parents out there that actually feel the dad did something wrong! That is the problem with some kids today! Parents are too afraid to discipline them! I bet this teenager will never post another negative remark about her parents!
  • Sarah Winner Martin: The father in the video has stated that CPS and the Police showed up because they were getting calls from people saying that the father was going to shoot his daughter. CPS and the Police did what they were supposed to do in such a situation, they made an investigation. He has made a lot of updates to his FB page.

The North Carolina Supreme Court has heard arguments over whether school officials should be allowed to search students’ bras for drugs.

  • Angie Featherston-Sills: Yes they should be allowed too. A lady can do it instead of having a man search of course. I do think a parent should be called in before any searching is done. I do not want drugs around my kids at all whatsoever so please make the kids see that if they take them to school they will get caught.
  • Brittany Luedecke Sawyer: Absolutely not. Invasive searches should be done by trained professionals regardless of the situation.
  • Kimberly Stanton Hood: Well heck yeah! What’s the point of even doing a search if it isn’t thorough?? If I were trying to smuggle drugs into a school, I would absolutely put them in the one place I knew would not be searched! This is not an “invasive” search...and it can be done privately and tactfully.
  • James Lewallen: Kids are NOT adults, and anyone who wants to argue otherwise needs to spend a day at a junior high to get a grip on reality. Requiring them to loosen and shake clothing to prove they haven’t hidden anything inside is NOT an invasion of any privacy, nor is it unreasonable. And many times, LE IS present for such searches, though not always...
  • Debbie Smith: Hell no!!!!!!! If u suspect something then call in the law or the parents!! ANY teacher or school staff touches my kids and we r goin ‘round ‘n ‘round!!!
