Does a Dad have the right to publicly humliate his own 16 year old daughter?

I heard coming to school today on WIL 92.3, that a sixteen year old girl had friends over till 2:30 a.m over the weekend, her curfew was eleven.  There was no alcohol involved just some friends together having fun, they didnt even sneak out or do anything destructive. Her father never once came up and said that the friends should start heading home or anything he just let them stay there. The next day the dad puts out an ad out in the local newspaper for his daughter to do thirty hours of community service, which he picked babysitting for her to do. Now in my opinion thats putting the girls life in jeperdy, who knows what kind of people will call for her to babysit, they could be rapist, murdurers, sex offenders etc. Will the dad put a background check on the people that call? You never know what kind of people are out there waiting to do something. Some of the people that were calling into the radio said that he has no right to humliate her it was not like they were dissrupptive or rowdy. Another call came in and said that he does have the right its his kid he should be able to discipline his own kids how he wants. My question to you is, Should the dad have the right to humliate his own 16 year old daughter?
