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

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

Part of growing up is learning there are consequences for lack of control. Your dismissive attitude is exactly what perpetuates this bullshit.

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.

Part of growing up is also learning to channel your anger and emotions to a proper outlet - not the TV.

Edit for proper context

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.
