This is the same OP who wanted to leave her kids with a Jewish babysitter on Christmas to go away with her DH. It's not even remotely comical. [/quote]

No, I don't think this is a troll at all. I do think it is the same parent who keeps posting about her child having no interests outside of electronics. She posts similar things every month or so, gets good advice, never returns to the thread, and then comes back a month later with a new post saying her kid won't get off the electronics.
OP, take away the electronics. Your child is addicted, and it is not going to get better if you do not take charge. Yes, he will throw massive tantrums. He may become aggressive. Remove him from anything that he could hurt himself or you with, remove anything valuable, and leave him to his tantrum. Then, do not give back the electronics. 
Please get some help for him and you. DCUM cannot solve this problem for you.
I know this is hard. We have a very challenging and strong-willed child too. When you have chidlren like this, you cannot be afraid of the tantrums, or they will control your whole life.[/quote]
