“The ex was just using this incident to get back at his ex-wife and the poor little snowflake daughter played both the parents.”

How did she play the parents?
.
Wow
Her ex is dck with ears...
I think it is unfortunate that such is the case as I have seen with more than one family. Parents on the receiving end of children who want to go their own way as it suits them, regardless of what they may be doing to their family, are in the position of always reacting to damage done. Only the teen escapes from their own behavior. The other bad part of this is that other children in the family are adversely affected by the situation and that can lead to even more disruption. There are limits to be reached by parents who want to preserve their families, and their own sanity.
I’d look at who the ex-husband was sleeping with these days. Probably a cop, a prosecutor, or someone connected.
Then I’d drag his butt back into the divorce court on a rule for contempt and let him explain everything to the judge there.
He wants to play hardball, I’d give him a game of hardball.
What? No unlimited data? I bet you are right. How brutal for the poor child. LOL
Kids are totally entitled to every up-to-date gadget on the market! Otherwise social services must get involved! /s
This country is done. There is only one way to fix it and no one is going to go there. I am glad I am getting to old to care.
I saw a Jordan Peterson video recently where he said if you tolerate poor behavior from your kids, then you will end up not liking your own kids. This reinforces the bad behavior, and they become unlikable adults.
The left has been cutting bonds with parent/child for over thirty years.
Since the abortion debacle when teachers can help teens get abortions without parent consent.
My son is going through something similar
Her father is a state trooper.
It is hell, as he over steps his authority and his superiors give him promotions.
We live in fear for our lives.
Plenty.

Some get support from an ex but many who do this are from intact homes and find a teacher, or friend’s mother or father who helps them undermine authority.
Let the little ba****d go.
Amazing...too many divorces, and the people getting hurt are the kids... anything else I say might get me zotted...
I had to deal with an almost identical issue except the cops were not involved. A divorced person got a dirty lawyer (he is literally in prison right now for helping the mob to steal a business) to make this claim.
The way it is supposed to work, even if the phone belongs to the ex, if he or she sends it with the minor child to the other custodial parent, that parent has the duty AND right to control his or her child during said periods of possession.
This means that a parent can take away a phone from his or her minor child even if the ex owns the phone. The parent must return the phone to the other parent at the end of their custodial period.
A cop should not file charges in such a situation even if it is theft. It should be handled as a civil matter.
Kids often play their parents against each other in order to get their way. Sometimes this happens over a phone when the parents are divorced. One parent tries to restrict the phone because of behavior issues or safety concerns. The minor child rebels and tells the other parent that they are unable to make calls to or receive calls from the other parent.
The child usually does not comprehend how this can escalate into a very nasty custodial court battle.
Parents now cannot discipline their children?
This is nutty stuff.
don’t take the phone, don’t keep them from school activities, give them a talking to and assign chores
Played one off against the other. Probably whined to the Dad saying “she took my phone” without being honest about why the phone was taken away. Divorced parents get played by the kids all the time. Until both work together to quash the bad behavior.
