Wow we must not be reading the same post?

Where is the so called “torture” in this post? Yelling? Gee, I really can’t see that as a form of torture! Accusing someone of lying who says they admit to manipulation of the truth? That could be torture for the parents, yes I can see that POV.
Maybe it was the fact that the phone was taken away by the parent?
Is that “torture”? Should I even ask who pays for the cell service of this technology? If this technology was owned by the OP the parent would not be using this as leverage.
Maybe we should replace the word “torture” which is way over the top for this post, with the word “inconvenienced.”
