Good for HER! Sticks and stones ....but words can never hurt me? Remember that rhyme? Well... its true. How dare anyone use violence against another human being. Its horrible. I don't know the full story, only the two people that were involved really know.

Maybe the daughter was weary of her father hitting her and put a stop to it once and for all?

I was 28 and did something silly that my Dad didn't like, I was coming thru the french doors and he sucker punched me in the face. A flash said - You are 28 years old and you don't have to take that anymore. I punched back, knocked him down on the floor, picked him back up and threw him thru the doors that I just exited. I still don't know where the rage came from, but all those years of being scared of him was gone in an instant. He never put his hands on me again or threw things at me.

I know, honor your parents. I did, but I STILL don't think any parent has the right to beat their kids. There are many ways to do the same job, take away all of what the child holds dear for a week, a month, or even a year. No new clothes, TV, Wii and video games, allowance, free time, extra chores, etc. But to beat a child only damages the child and could make matters worst.

Maybe Florida will find a nice new home for her. If he was really that mad all he had to do was take away the computer.
