Ugh. Please

Just take away the computer/iPad/phone

How do people expect to defend the country when they can’t see controlling their own homes their kids’ activities and possessions/stuff

Wimp

When questioned, the father admitted to using a multi-wave band jammer to deprive his kid of internet connectivity as they were “addicted” to social media.

He could have set the privacy or parental controls on the device; instead he went nuclear and bought an illegal jammer.

Either he’s incredibly dumb and can’t google something like “parental controls” -or- he’s using this as an excuse for deploying the jammer.

Or… man up and take the device from your child at night. Better than this passive/aggressive weak crap that he did.

Reminds me of when a neighbor cut down a tree and it fell on the neighborhood-serving cable tv cable during the super bowl. There were some unhappy neighbors.
