Locked away playing GTAV when they get home probably. Free from the threat of meaningful punishment. Free to act out violent fantasies these games cause to the immature mind.


Get the slipper on their arses. Make them think twice.

This is just made up rubbish.

Games did not break kids. GTAV did not turn a generation feral. If it did, every adult under 40 would be in prison by now.

Kids act out because life is messy. Bad homes. Stress. No support. Smacking them does nothing except add fear to the pile.

The slipper is not discipline. It is an adult losing patience and swinging. That is not teaching. That is giving up.

You want them to think twice. Fear does not make kids think. It makes them lie, hide, and get better at not being caught.

This whole take is lazy. Blame games. Blame kids. Avoid fixing the real problems. Easier to hit than to parent, right.
