[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, thank you for starting this tread. I also turn to DCUM once in a while to hear different views. 
I check my child’s messages once in a while. I have just found out that my DD was unkind (to say it mildly) to another child. There were several mean messages between the kids on a group chat, and my child escalated by sending a direct message with religious insults.

I feel defeated as a parent. We had a long chat with DD to point to her actions underlining the importance of knowing when to walk away from a discussion.

I reached out to child’s parents and apologized on behalf of our family.

I am at a loss what else to do…[/quote]

So, she made antisemitic remarks in writing and the only consequence was a “long chat?” Gee, it’s surprising she’s a brat.

Start with taking that phone—for at least a year. And an extremely strict grounding. A visit to the Holocaust Museum. She can read Night and The Book Thief and watch Schindler’s List for a start.[/quote]

I'm a jewish parent and a grandchild of a holocaust survivor.  Please don't do any of the above.

1. Kids at these age have impulse control, not an excuse - but a fact.
2. That level of grounding for a teen will actually solidify their feelings towards jewish people.  [/quote]
