not to the dump....but when Diana was smaller, I would do this on occasion. I'd ask her to just put her toys in a toybox. If it wasn't done by the end of the day/bedtime, I gathered them all up in a black garbage bag and they went out of the house. To the garage only.
The next day she would go overboard in straigtening up other areas and would get the toys back as rewards over a period of time.
I really think that's all it would take. He could have still made his point, but not lost the doll entirely. If he really knew the value of the doll both financially/emotionally, and he STILL did this, then I find his actions to be worse than the daughter's.
