What's up with parents destroying their child's electronics

[CodeGreen]

Destroying an xbox, monitor screen, and a phone. Pretty pointless because look how much they paid on that stuff. Whether in our point of view it could be the child or parents throwing a tantrum. Some vids that I've seen are fake and most that I don't know if it's real. What do you think about this? Do you think you accept this behavior on the parent's side?

Of course it's not acceptable. It is irrational and suggests the parent/guardian has anger management issues. If I had kids I wouldn't want them to be around an adult who flies off the handle like that. Their kids will remember such incidents for the rest of their lives and it will define the relationship with their parents well into adulthood.

You're right and it'll be a PTSD from them. But come to think of it there are alot of videos about posting this kind of content maybe these people are craving for views.

It's manipulative, and it's extremely immature as well.

Taking it away from them would be enough, but destroying? Completely unneccessary.

Don't destroy your kid's self-identity. If they enjoy gaming as a hobby, don't destroy their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ console. Also high chance they'll repeat that behaviour when they grow up, since that's what kids do - they'll think it's okay. Don't teach them that.

Bad parenting.

I'm not sure if you meant to use that word...but if someone's "self-identity" requires an electronic device, then they need to take a break from that electronic device.

A lot of people just don't know how to be good parents

I think it is a bad idea to destroy anything. Better to take the item and lock it up, sell it or give it away. That way you are not wasting money.

My parents used to take the power pack for my game systems or password the computer so only they can allow access to it.

A friend of mine was forced to sell his in a garage sale, with the money going to his collage fund, as his grades dropped since getting it.

Keep in mind this was over 20+ years ago.

Destroying it only teaches bad habits and poor anger management.

Not something I would do with my 8/yo's things.

obviously you never have a child before

Most likely.

Just like the "prank" where the lady throws the guy's PS4 into the pool because she got him a new one.

Hobbies/Interests are a big part of self-identity.

If a kid really loves to draw and it's something they do a lot (to the point of obsession in this case), you wouldn't destroy their art material (art material is really expensive as well).

Destroying is bad on it's own, doing it in order to ''teach'' is worse.

Probably mental illness.

Unpopular opinion here. Gaming is a luxury that children explot. They pass responsible choices for any number of reasons and gaming is a huge distraction.

Also the typical parent paid for the device. They can do what they want with it. I applaud the angry adult who must take extremes to snap a spoiled and otherwise vile child to reality. Inb4 forget your details.

It should be a reward for a hard days class activity, an accomishment or destresser. Most kids can't remove themselves from the monitor or television and feel so deserving and expectant about digital stimuli.

Sure. No problem. Unless it becomes a habit.
Besides, what are you going to do about it if you didn't?

(I never ever watch those vids, tbh. They serve no purpose, because they´re none of my business.)

I think they do it as a form of shock therapy. I think it's too much.

Expensive one
