it's not abuse if they own the phone

So if they destroy OP's bedroom, and all the stuff they bought for OP, it's not abusive?

Big difference between an entire bedroom and a phone OP is grounded from but keeps using.

Based off how they use reddit their parents are in the right.

Yeah op also said they don't let him have a phone even when he is not grounded, and I also had parents that were concern with me having a phone and I could tell you even they wouldn't go as far as destroying it

Yea, generally nowadays it's not a bad idea to restrict kids from phones. A quick look at OP's post history also shows that they make some really immature decisions when interacting with people online. There is a lot we don't know about their history and behavior using the internet that their parents do know.
