'I hereby denounce the effects social media have on my children': Hilarious moment Southern mom SHOOTS her 'disobedient' children's iPhones to smithereens...then pounds them with a sledgehammer to finish the job

The mother perches the phone on a tree trunk, and nails it on her first shot It explodes to bits and sends pieces flying into the grass

The camera then shows her three children, one of whom flips a double bird Mother gives speech about how she is stopping them from 'contacting people they don't know' and getting into 'drama' and trouble at school

Hell hath no fury like an angry Southern mom.

‘I hereby denounce the effects that social media have on my children,’ the mom shouts at the beginning of the video, a gun in her hand. ‘Their disobedience and their disrespect.’

This is the hilarious moment one Southern mother decides to punish her 'disobedient' children not by taking away their electronics - but by shooting them to bits

The mother perched one of her children's iPhones on a tree trunk, prepping the shot

On her very first shot the mother blew the phone to smithereens,

On her very first shot the mother blew the phone to smithereens, before having the man behind the camera put the surviving pieces back on the trunk so she could shoot again

With perfect aim she blows the smartphone to smithereens, as its pieces go flying into the grass.

‘Set it up,’ she orders, as the man behind the camera begins to gather the pieces on the ground.

‘Still recording?’ she asks, ‘Yes ma’m,' he dutifully replies, showing viewers a cracked iPhone screen.

The camera shows two teens, a boy and a girl, are still here - watching as the only outlet they’ve ever known to a social life disappears.

Add this Mom to Charlie Daniels’ NRA ad list of Americans that Muslim terrorists don’t want to meet.

Idiot woman obviously doesn’t care about destroying $1,000+ of her own property as a publicity stunt.

I”ve considered doing that to my own phone on many occasions.

Make a video of you shooting some electronics and we’ll be the judge heh.

After your comment I had to look, and wow, that’s one rough looking lady I wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley heh.

Sounds like your son married wisely.

I’ve skimmed through the comments here, and noticed some FReepers say she was stupid not to sell the phones over the Internet. The same Internet she’s trying to take away from her disobedient disrespectful children.

Are my husband and I the only ones who cheered when Maureen O’Hara helped John Wayne throw the money in the fire in The Quiet Man? Sometimes, it really is the principle of the thing. There are some things you can’t put a price on.

No, you're not. The grand gesture is worth the cost.

She should have added the Video machine, games, and videos.

And the computer should be located in the living room where a parent can control and watch what their child is doing on it.

I see what these things do to my grandson he is mostly now anti social, over weight, lazy, and you can’t believe a word he says. Even though his dad restricts their use, his mom doesn’t. And he lives with his mom right now. This is going to be one messy divorce. But he is old enough to chose which parent he wants to live with. She is a computer gamer addict and a prescription drug addict. Not fit to be a parent. Only reason he remarried her was to make sure he’d get custody of his son, should she die of the late caught Breast Cancer. Well she survived, which is good. Her life style stinks. Not even a HS grad. Now on disability.

In the first place why did she buy them Iphones?

Growing up in another era where all you had were land lines we didn’t feel the need for such methods of communication. And we were limited to the in use the home phone time.

Parents had to know where we were going and when we’d be back and a phone number to call. Unless all we were doing was bike riding or roller skating up and down our block.

Dad or mom controlled the TV. We just turned the channels for them.

I often wonder about that. Almost every parent I know insists that his/her child "needs" a smart-phone.

“”Idiot woman obviously doesn’t care about destroying $1,000+ of her own property as a publicity stunt.””

Couldn’t help but wonder about that too. Who on earth bought the phones? The pictures paint a picture of a family without much money to spend on cell phones for teenagers...

Weird looking rifle she has there! Guess the writer doesn’t know the difference between a rifle and a shotgun. Hard to miss blowing away a cell phone with a shotgun...

Still don’t know where this took place - I would GUESS it meant in the southern part of the US....

I bet no one would have stolen your coon dog from her. She can probably protect you better than you can protect yourself.

> Obama's clear objective is to tear down the traditional white, christian, capitalist, patriotic American culture and replace it with some sort of bastardized non-white, socialist, Islamic oligarchy

He would never admit to it but I believe that was exactly the goal given to him by a rich old white man years ago to assist in the breakdown of an America that would've never stood for the setting up of a NWO. And for a whole lotta cash and a chance to win a new Ford Fusion (Family Feud reference)...
