No use it as a lesson. If it appears to his daughter they are taking her side, she will never learn and "might" be the worse thing they could do.
I will never take the .gov side against my kids. Lots of people here, talk about how they will stand up against tyranny and fight till the end. The one and only thing I fight for is my family and that is till the bitter end. They’re the only reason I’m alive today.
