Moms and dads often threaten to take things like phones and computers away from their children if they start misusing them or getting into trouble to remind their kids that those things are a privilege, not a right.
Today’s technology and social media platforms have made staying connected with each other incredibly easy, however, it has also been shown to decrease happiness levels, hurts self-esteem, and decrease our ability to think independently. So when this southern mom’s children started getting into trouble because they were misusing their phones and were constantly using social media, she found an even more effective- and permanent- way to make her point.
After finding out her children were contacting people they didn’t know through social media, getting in trouble at school for using phones, and getting involved in drama that didn’t involve them, this tough mom solved the problem by shooting them with her rifle and then crushing the leftover pieces with a sledgehammer.
“I hereby denounce the effects that social media have on my children. Their disobedience and their disrespect,” mom declares as she prepares to shoot the phones. “I refuse to be cursed, I refuse to be disobeyed. I take back my role as your parent. My children’s lives are more important to me than any electronic on this Earth. I refuse to have them influenced in negative ways.”
Watch the entire video below to see how this mom’s children responded to having their phones shot to pieces in front of their eyes.
