You, the parent are in charge. And you really don't need to destroy the cell phones with a gun.

This is an example of the problem with guns in this country. If someone thinks that an appropriate way to deal with her children's lack of respect for her is to destroy their cell phones with a gun, then she has a profound lack of understanding of how it came to this. I don't feel like writing the essay needed to explain why she's wrong, but she is. And it's not just because I would cheerfully confiscate all guns. It's more basically that this isn't the solution. She needs to think back on how it came to this.

Oh, and guns are never the solution.

Well written, however it's a shame that ones who need to read it will never see it.

I do sympathize with her frustration with social media and its effects on our youth as well as many so-called adults.

It's increasingly a part of the degradation of our society......

If that thing is willing to use a 12 gage on her kids phones it will probably grow old alone and bitter.

I say "it" because I refuse to believe that it is human.

Humans come in all shapes and sizes; some are pleasing for some of us to look at, some not. I hope you are not mocking this woman's appearance or her accent. That would be unkind, petty and Trumpish.
