1/1
This situation has people torn. A mother says she’s in complete shambles after her 12-year-old son destroyed her home when she took his phone away. What started as a parenting decision quickly turned into chaos, with rooms trashed and property damaged — all over a device. Some are saying this shows how deeply dependent kids have become on phones and social media, arguing that addiction and lack of boundaries are playing a major role. Others are pointing to discipline, emotional regulation, and whether early intervention should’ve happened long before it reached this point. A few even sympathize with the mother, saying parents today are navigating challenges no generation dealt with at this scale. The video has sparked a larger conversation about parenting in the digital age: Where’s the balance between discipline and understanding? At what point does behavior signal a deeper issue? And how do parents protect their authority without escalating situations like this? What do you think — warning sign, parenting struggle, or both? #ParentingTalk #DigitalAge #KidsAndPhones #ViralDebate #FamilyIssues #DisciplineDiscussion #ModernParenting #SocialMediaImpact

My granddaughter, who I was raising, got her phone taken. She threw it across the car as I was driving on the highway. She decided to try to retrieve it lunging over me while doing 70. There was 2 9y/o and a 15 y/o in the car. She is lucky we didn’t wreck. After we stopped she ran away. She proceeded to accuse me of child abuse. I went through the process and was cleared. She is the oldest of three. At 16 almost 17, she is no longer living in my home, and she is no longer welcome.

Police would have been called and that kid would have been taken out of my house. He needs help but I could never trust my safety around that kid ever again.

strip his room down to a mattress, pillow, blanket, 5 pairs of pants, 5 pairs of socks/underwear, 5 shirts and one pair of shoes. no TV no.games. make them all the same color. walmart tennis shoes. he goes to school, he comes home and to his room to school work. oit for dinner, at the kitchen table, no TV. back to his room. computer time for school is 💯 supervised. Let him see what prison is all about. He can EARN some favors and a dollar here and there. Once he realizes what he did and apologizes THEN he can START to get his stuff back. If he runs away then the police will pick him up and he Will probably be doing something wrong. TOUGH LOVE

That child would no longer live in my home. I grew up the old school way. These kids have it easy. WTF IS TIMEOUT! You don’t get a time out in life. You pay consequences for your actions. Let the state have him and let him see how that goes.

This is what happens & has happened, since the government, Federal & state took out Prayer, the ten commandments & studies of the Holy Bible out of public schools.Kids had respect for their parents, law enforcement, teachers their elders, responsibilities, structure, they learned right from wrong, they got a conscience if they did do something wrong. Most went by the Ten Commandments. In this time, now, you see people going completely out of control. They don’t 🤔respect, any one of authority. We see now, not even the people in high offices, people that worked for & got their education. It’s scary. People are killing each other everyday. Kids killing their parents, siblings, school mates, fathers & mothers killing their children. Children killing their parents. God bless & help all.

You raised him, mom. Accountability matters. This is what happens when you never say NO, THEN YOU SAY NO. Her fault not his for being disrespectful.
I raised 4 sons, single parent and they know it would've been a nightmare of elm street if they even looked at me funny. But they're all grown up, moved away and doing amazing 🙏

It shows how this child was not raised properly. What was the mother and father doing while he went on a rampage? Children need to be disciplined and taught that they are not in charge.

Children today have NO RESPECT for anything or anyone (Including Parents). REASON..... Government is involved and directing how to raise them. You cant say "NO", cant Punish, cant Touch and they All know that they wont be Punished by Police or Judiciary System. 🤔
