Brilliant!

I find it a creative punishment after the crime...

I guess I am alone in this but I think the dad is sick. What type of a destructive message is he sending?

My sister when on a self distructive rampage when she was 15, my parents took her stuff away, just to give it back and have it taken again

I guess this way she understands she is not getting it back

wendyfrog: donating computer to charity would also let her know she wasn't getting it back.
