A 16 and ahalf year old girl is at a foot ball game with her Mom. She has 2 jackets and is not alloweded to wear either one. One is red a nd one says Raiders. Father considers these gang related items, altho girl is not envolved in gangs. Mom and dad divorced. It's cold out and girl if freezing so mom runs home and brings her the red jaket. Later Dad shows up at game, see's she has on Jacket, lets her wear it because it's cold, after game takes her home to his house and grounds her for 7 days for wearing the jacket. But dad it's all I have and it's cold! I don't care! you were told not to wear it or the black one! Themn why won't you buy me one? I will when I get the money! (He has inheritance money to buy her a jacket. He can afford it) But, here is how he grounds her, He makes her stay in her room for 7 days with no T.V. and no music or phone or computer or anything. She can only come out for meals! What is wrong with him? He hates authority. He hates "COPS" I think he's mentally ill

Dad should spring for a couple of jackets that he doesn't find offensive instead of expecting his child to be cold or risk going against what he has said. Then, since there are now alternative jackets she can wear, he can warn her that she will be grounded if she wears one again.
He should not have punished her for trying to keep warm, since she had no other jacket and it was the mother who brought it to her.

A punishment should equal the crime. If you watch something you're not allowed to watch you loose the TV for a week, etc...It sounds like, to me, the father had other things on his mind, maybe a resentment against the mother and he took it out on the daughter. That sucks, but it happens especially when parents split. As a woman I know men can be *******, but we gotta love em. I hope the daughter can speak with the father and try to compromise considering her age.

It does seem a little harsh seeing as those are your only two jackets and it was cold outside. Maybe when he calms down you can talk to him about it.
