This is all sorts of wrong… that kid is going to grow up and be the kind of moron to pull a gun on someone that cuts them off in traffic and think it’s sane and normal.

I worked at a gym daycare for about 3 months. One of the TVs broke because a kid threw a ball at it. It never got fixed while I was there. This totally tracks lmao.

I take it that this is in the USA, where health care isn’t really an option for so many people.
Because there’s no other reason as to why they’re looking for workarounds, to a serious issue that needs addressing.
Psychiatry or psychology are better choices than having your child become an adult with severe uncontrollable impulses.
That path leads to dark places.

Mount it on the wall out of his reach and look into covering the screen with plexiglass or something. And break that kid from the habit of breaking your tv, or he will continue to destroy your valuables until he is too big to control.

You didn’t say how old this kid is but I wouldn’t replace it until he’s old enough to know what he did is wrong and/or pay for a new one. If he’s not gonna respect your things, there will be no watching power rangers or whatever his favorite show is.

When my son was 2 he broke 3 flat screen TVs in under a week.
At the time I’d have probably called him “prone to breaking TVs” as well.
That said, we showed him what his actions did and he learned pretty quickly that if a TV was broken, it didn’t work for a while.
When we did replace them he never broke them again.
1st time was a legitimate accident
2nd time he was throwing something at his older brother and it hit the TV.
3rd time was a rage/freakout/tantrum.
Never happened again.

Lots of blame on the parent in these comments for people who don’t know any details.
I work with teenagers with various intellectual disabilities and a big problem being worked on with many of them is aggressive and destructive behaviors. It can be a lifelong struggle, even with multiple types of therapy.
