From what I read in the written version, and in the video, was that the father had already sat down with her several times and had that conversation and given his daughter warnings before. She thought she would play the 'hotshot' role by posting her crap on Facebook believing she had her parents blocked from reading it but forgot her father was an IT worker. I think she wanted to play the badass role to make her friends believe she was in control at her house.

If she is 'bad' enough to post her crap on Facebook, she should be bad enough to sit up and take it while her father tells his side of the story and the consequences for her disrespect. There are just some hardheaded teenagers you can't "communicate" bad conduct out of and more drastic measures have to be taken.
