Daughter reaction to her "Laptop Dad"
People were telling her she was going to commit suicide, commit a gun-related crime, become a drug addict, drop out of school, get pregnant on purpose, and become a stripper because she’s too emotionally damaged now to be a productive member of society. Apparently stripper was the job-choice of most of the commenters. Her response was “Dude… it’s only a computer. I mean, yeah I’m mad but pfft.” She actually asked me to post a comment on one of the threads (and I did) asking what other job fields the victims of laptop-homicide were eligible for because she wasn’t too keen on the stripping thing.

Maybe we should be talking about what the daughter thinks instead of what WE THINK should happen and what kind of people they are.

after wiping all personal data off. No sense ruining a perfectly good laptop someone could use. I don't think taking it away from her (along with any other electronic devices) is unreasonable given what she did - twice. I'd be pissed too. But I'd not ruin a good laptop over it. I'd give it to someone who would put it to better use. (and I'd tell her just that - "I'm going to give it to someone who would put it to better use and who will appreciate it because you don't and you're abusing the privilege and disrespecting your parents with it"
