‘Anything left put it on top,’ she orders as the man behind the camera picks up the touch screen and back casing of the smartphone.
‘My children’s lives are more important to me,’ she begins, as the camera reveals she is standing over the trunk with a sledgehammer, ‘than any electronic on this earth.’
‘Good for you,’ one of the children interrupts. ‘We still don’t give two f***s’.
‘I refuse to have them influenced in negative ways,' the mother continues.
'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.’
She then hammers the remaining pieces a few times, her dog watching, before screaming: ‘I’m done!’
And with that, she drops the hammer and walks away.

Well, that was interesting. I feel a little sorry for her. I don’t know how effective “I refuse to be cursed, I refuse to be disobeyed” will be without a backup plan.
Sadly, she would not appear to have been setting a good example. The giant tatoo tells me that it’s ok for HER to go along with societal fads, but not her kids. The shirt that exposes her undergarments is not a terribly respectful display for either sons or daughter.
Although I feel her frustration and think it’s great to try and change things, she needs to set a better example.
