How would you punish a toddler for throwing a remote and breaking a new $5,000 television?

Of course a scammer chimes in.

I would sell the child to replace the TV.

If this is not a troll, this is 98% on the parents for being foolish.

The replacement goes in your bedroom and the kid gets no access to the bedroom for a good long while.

Oled TVs can be 5 grand. I was just looking at one at Sam's club, 4799.
If I were to buy one (which I won't) my SIL could install it.
As as any punishment goes I agree with the PPs.

If you are spending 5k on a tv in the year of our lord 2023 and you let your three year old have access to the remote you deserve what you get.

We left the broken TV in the living room and when he would ask for cartoons, we would point at the broken TV and say “no shows. The TV has a boo-boo from when you hit it”.

Eventually he was allowed to have an iPad again but if he isn’t gentle with it, he loses any iPad time for 48 hours.

Please don’t talk to your child in baby talk. It’s disgusting.

Of course a three year old is a toddler.

What is wrong with you?

You failed not your kid.

Your kid is a toddler which you did not supervise

Like they know how expensive the TV is? You and your husband are idiots.

Get parenting classes now you both need them.

This post is ridiculous!


It is not the kids fault it is yours. I feel sorry for your kid that you are focused on the money. Don’t buy things you can not afford if you have a toddler you do not supervise

right. The parents should not have given a remote to the hands of a toddler especially a $5000 TV remote. The parents should be punished. The kid is absolutely clueless.

No worse than the OP wanting to get the money back from her credit card.

This. Three year old probably thought this was a new toy; they should have been occupied in another room or TV opening could have been done after the toddlers bedtime.
