[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be thrilled too. Kids don’t need electronics while on a play date. Their house their rules. [/quote]

Eh, if you're going to confiscate things, you should tell the parents beforehand.  I would be fine a parent asking the kids to put phones away.  Not fine with her taking them.[/quote]

The phone is put away in the basket. [/quote]

Right, I wouldn't say they are confiscated. It's like keys going in the fishbowl before heavy drinking. The parent is not taking all phones and watches and locking them in an upper cabinet so kids cannot possibly contact their parents in case they are being mistreated. Is this what feels creepy to you? I think the harm of kids being on electronics and social media all the time is way more prevalent than being harmed by going in a group to a trusted friend's mom's houses to play. [/quote]

You never know what goes on behind closed doors.  Even people you think you can trust.  I worked for CPS for many years and we even had one social worker investigated for abuse.  Sadly, you cannot trust anyone.[/quote]
