The video clip below started making the rounds on the internet these days, showing a supposed mother exasperated by the fact that her children use social networks too much and have problems at school due to the use of mobile phones during class.
The woman in the clip destroys an iPhone 5C by shooting it 2 times with a gun, then using a sledgehammer to try to smash what's left of the Apple terminal, the gesture itself being exaggerated and far from the way which should normally react a parent.
Before destroying the smartphone, the woman claims that her children's lives are more important than any gadget and that she is tired of being cursed by the children, the move apparently being an attempt to impose her authority as a parent in front of the children.
Considering the exaggerated way in which everything happens and the texts spoken by the woman, the video clip seems to be a directed one, but if it is real, then it demonstrates how far a parent exasperated by the excessive use of social networks can go.
I hereby denounce the effects that social media have on my children. Their disobedience and their disrespect. My children's lives are more important to me than any electronic device on this earth. I refuse to be cursed. I refuse to be disobeyed. I take back my role as your parent. ... contacting people they don't know, being involved in drama they don't need to be in, and being in trouble at school for having phones out.
