This whole subject and problem is one of the many Ive not looked forward to dealing with as my kids age. My boy just turned 9 and its now the beginning. Ive always been honest and open with my kids, teaching them respect and to hold and grasp a moral compass that has been eroded away over many years. My son has no phone or computer and will not anytime soon. He plays a few video games that I have allowed him to play which dont contain any violence that is beyond what one would see during an 80"s cartoon. When he's bad he gets punished, whether it be something he likes taken away or a good ole fashioned butt spanking. Point is Im being a parent, taking the time I should to do what I should. Society's problem is parents dont wanna parent. They prefer to just be friends instead, allowing the kids to rule the roost and do whatever they want. It dont work that way. Life is nothing but consequences for ones actions. When parents dont teach and make there kids know there are consequences for each of ther actions then kids think they can do whatever they want.

Angrybird I hope the situation with your granddaughter works out for the best and maybe both parties learn some lessons in this. Im sure it will take some time for her to come around again and when she does , she becomes a better and stronger little girl. My thoughts and prayers to you and the family for a positive outcome
