I don't think he would just go right up to her and slash her for the hell of it.... That's really dark, even for RWBY. I mean, I agree with the others who believe Mr. Schnee to be somewhat abusive, or ill-tempered, or neglectful toward Weiss, but I believe he has his own "reasons" for treating her that way, rather than just going up to her and doing it because he needed something/someone to take his anger out on.... I feel he wouldn't have done something to hurt her unless she somehow "messed up". That's probably why she's such a perfectionist, because maybe she thinks that if she's perfect, her father would love her more, and start to treat her better. It's obvious her father is the biggest influence in her life, and I feel that has a lot to do with how he treated her (pretty poorly) behind closed doors.
