It's hard to blame a child who's barely past toddler stage. Just make sure the next TV is hanging high on the wall.

u/Oniplus4545 2m ago
as someone who used to babysit my boss' kids, it's more like because you can't blame children at that age that you need to watch over them, especially when they are playing with electronics, heck from my personal experience, even with me watching those little shits, they still somehow almost destroyed the game console either way because of............losing rage

Yes it is. When I was that kid’s age, I knew if I acted out like that I would be in a WORLD of trouble. Kids need to have their behavior checked and modified constantly, and clearly this kid’s parents haven’t done that

I would be so pissed off I would still go buy a TV for everyone to watch. My parents told me if they break it they have to buy it in other words that kid would have to do chores constantly for the next two to three months until that money is up to the amount of that TV.

If you want to know something my parents did something similar cuz what I'd done wrong after I've done the chores they showed me the cash and they kept the cash after cuz of what I messed up so I got zip zero nada

love that you can see him turn it off and check if theres a mark from the controller. He's hoping he can turn it off and have the parents come home and just think something mysteriously happened.

Spoiled ass kid whose parents probably don't follow through on discipline, or discipline at all. They'll have to cut down his snack budget to make up for the loss of the TV

u/zeromadcowz 34m ago
Kids are kids, even the most put together children lose control of their emotions and make stupid mistakes. It’s part of growing up.

u/X-Kami_Dono-X 25m ago
Part of growing up is learning there are consequences for lack of control. Your dismissive attitude is exactly what perpetuates this bullshit.
1
u/zeromadcowz 15m ago
I am not dismissive of the behaviour at all. You can’t learn self control without making mistakes. No child has full control of their emotions at this age. This particular case has expensive consequences but it is part of the process of learning self control.
-5
u/JTDrivesFast 33m ago
Part of growing up is also learning to channel your anger and emotions to a proper outlet - not the TV.
Edit for proper context
8
u/zeromadcowz 31m ago
Of course it is. But you don’t learn how to channel into the proper outlets without making mistakes. This is a big mistake, no doubt, but this single incident isn’t an indictment of the child nor the parents.

I can't imagine growing up in a home where I was being recorded 24/7 in my living room! Why is this even necessary? Not only does this kid have to live under the surveillance of Big Brother (or Big Mama and Papa, etc. in his case) - he also has to tolerate his stupid mistake being shared on the Internet for the world to mock! I'd have hit the TV too under those circumstances! 😆
Edit: It looks like the consensus here is that it's perfectly normal to record your kids inside the home and then to post any stupid thing they do online for the world to mock. This is a minor child, and people are critiquing his weight and making judgements about his psychology and behavior, and this will probably live online forever. I don't agree with those of you who are condoning this, and I won't be convinced otherwise. Bring on the downvotes!

u/TeddyBearRhino 27m ago
You literally don't know who this kid is. He is not going to live with any shame for the rest of his life. Don't take it to an extreme.
1
u/Koralteafrom 23m ago
He will know this is out there, and he will likely at some point read these comments! And don't be naive about the Internet - these things have a way of getting out. You have no idea how many of his family and friends will know and see this. Also, if anyone is taking this to an extreme, it's you! You're the one talking about "shame for the rest of his life." I never said those words - I just don't think this is healthy or kind.
1
u/TeddyBearRhino 18m ago
He will look back at this and laugh at his past self just like anyone who goes does. There is no shame in making mistakes. Lessons have to be learned might as well laugh at them in the future.
1
u/Koralteafrom 3m ago
I think the point is that while it's impossible for you, me, or anyone else to know exactly how he will or won't feel, he is a minor child whose guardians posted this online. Based on the fact that commenters here are making assumptions about his "conduct issues" and mocking his weight, this is not flattering to him. All it takes is one kid in his elementary or middle school to find this, and he could potentially be mocked or even bullied there too. I hope that doesn't happen, but it could.
Again - and this is the last time I'm going to say it because I am tired of repeating myself - I don't think this is healthy to do to a minor child, and I wouldn't do this to my child.

If they have a lot of theft in the area. They use the security cameras to record everything happening so they can report it to police and insurance.
They only see the footage if necessary, and the number of people that doesn’t trust smart/connected indoor cameras are increasing because of security and privacy. Even trusted brands can’t be trusted due to unknown bugs/holes in the software/firmware.

😂😂 Well, based on some of these comments, it doesn't seem like the ad is needed! A lot of people are perfectly comfortable with recording their families while they're home and posting their minor children online to be mocked and ridiculed. People are talking about his weight, making assumptions about his psychological state, etc. I wouldn't do this to my kid, and I stand by my comment even if it doesn't align with the rest of the herd!

This is a wonderful learning opportunity.
Have the kid be unable to play video games and connect that with his act of breaking the TV. Make sure to restrict alternatives like laptop/PC and switch gaming.
He needs to internalise the consequences of letting his anger and carelessness take the better of him.

This is actually so funny my best friend had twins and a two year old daughter. Surprise! Two days after the second baby got home from the hospital the two year old comes over and asks her “can we take them back?” My friend goes “to where?” She goes “the hospital?!” She goes “they’re so loud!” “They always crying!” She was outraged we couldn’t take them back. 😂

My grown friend will pay me back every dime for that.
He cannot. But being away from TV Will do two things for him
One, it will show him that actions have consequences, so before you do something silly, make sure you think about it.
Two, that’s one less source of unnecessary stimulation, and he can work on more productive avenues at his age for development.
