Seems to me that his daughter wanted to go to a party at 1:00 AM. Am I wrong in this? Second his daughter is 15. She needed a good whooping. She needs to be sent to a residential school for girls.
Without any facts your posturing position is horribly, horribly premature.
Surely it is possible to tell a child “Nonsense! No” without clobbering her with a shoe or condemning her to a reform school.
