Daughter's Facebook Brag Costs Her Family $80,000
Yahoo! Shine ^ | February 28, 2014 | Elise Solé

Call it the biggest Facebook mistake ever. A daughter’s snarky status update has cost her father the $80,000 settlement he won in an age-discrimination lawsuit.

According to the Miami Herald, Patrick Snay, 69, was the headmaster at Gulliver Preparatory School in Miami for several years, but in 2010, the school didn’t renew his contract. Snay sued his former employer for age discrimination and won a settlement of $80,000 in November 2011. The agreement contained a standard confidentiality clause, prohibiting Snay or the school from talking about the case.

However, Snay’s daughter, Dana, now at Boston College and a part-time Starbucks barista, couldn’t resist bragging about the case on Facebook. “Mama and Papa Snay won the case against Gulliver,” she wrote. “Gulliver is now officially paying for my vacation to Europe this summer. SUCK IT.”

Dana has 1,200 Facebook friends, many of whom are current and former Gulliver students, and news of the post made its way back to the school’s lawyers, who appealed the verdict. The Third District Court of Appeal tossed out the $80,000 settlement earlier this week. “Snay violated the agreement by doing exactly what he had promised not to do,” Judge Linda Ann Wells wrote. “His daughter then did precisely what the confidentiality agreement was designed to prevent.”

“Gulliver is now officially paying for my vacation to Europe this summer. SUCK IT.”

Dana Snay is now officially not going to Europe this summer.

SUCK IT.

Not only an ugly daughter, but a stupid one too. That’s his real punishment.

I was wondering that too, but maybe that’s the case.

As the one who was bound by the agreement he should NOT have disclosed the results to his daughter, or if he did he should have told her that she was NOT to reveal them.

She must really be a very stupid girl. That picture of her further down the thread is just dreadful.

“Age discrimination”? Perhaps this was a flimsy lawsuit in the first place, and karma took hold.

Stay off social networks. Or at least use a good alias.

How can someone not even involved in a lawsuit be legally subject to a settlement of that lawsuit?


The party is responsible because he revealed it to the unreliable blabber. It comes back to the party. However word got out, he was the source.

I believe there will come a time when it will be uncool to be on Facebook, because of things such as this.

Don’t do Facebook, nor do I “tweet”, nor never will I.

Gals like her used to be referred to as “skanks.”

She is growing into the mean leftist face she richly deserves.

Ditto. When you put yourself “out there,” people feed on you, one way or another.
