In fairness, taking any thing away from children and having them scream in response has been pretty standard fare since time immemorial. At least that's always been my impression. As an adult, I'd be pissed if someone decided to take away the Macbook I'm typing on because of their subjective opinion that I did a naughty thing.

But at least you can understand why watching skibidi toilet is inappropriate during family dinner. “Taking it away” can mean suggesting not watching youtube while at the dinner table.

I’m not saying that no one is just ripping the phone right out of the kids hands but my experience is that when the phone battery dies, the screen addicted kids begin to meltdown until you fix it.
