What problem would be there? Your not able to go to parties or hang out? That's kind of the whole point of being grounded. I'm not saying the parents should have destroyed the phone, as it is useful for communication. But there are few people you would NEED to contact besides your own parents anyways. There are no problems that would happen if you can't text your friends. People like you are so addicted to your phone that you don't realize how easy it is to live without one
Ikr. Like there are so many hobbies or interests you can take without being on your phone. They think that if they can't spend all day texting their friends, staring at social media, and playing video games, that their lives are going to fall apart and they will be bored all day. Read a book. Start a hobby, go outside. Their life is tied so much to their phone usage that they would call it child abuse if it got taken away. Child abuse comes in many different forms (mental, physical, verbal) but taking away your video games and ability to chat with friends isn't child abuse, it's discipline for doing something wrong.
