Premiere Contest WinnerA Pappy Ending

My neighbour friend? His life is through -
He bit off more than he could chew: 
His teenage daughter caused much grief -
Dropped out and got knocked up, in brief -
Dad lost his cool and spanked her! Twice! -
Recorded on a smart device. 
She called the cops and they drove him
Straight to the bad dad asylum.

I'll never understand why people think they have to record eveything they do. She had to be 18 to drop out (most states) at that point she's an adult. I can see why the dad went to the "daddy asylum" (assault) Touchy subject, Peter.
