January 28, 2016—Darren Kavinoky joins Yasmin Vossoughian on HLN Daily Share to discuss the legal not-so-niceties of the Texas case where Mom had Dad arrested for taking their twelve year old daughter’s phone away.
Darren gives his take on the not guilty verdict. “Clearly the jury got it right,” he says in this HLN appearance. The dad took away his daughter’s iPhone after finding inappropriate text messages on it. His daughter was just twelve years old at the time and her father decided taking the phone away from her was appropriate punishment.
The trouble began when the girl’s mother, the dad’s estranged wife, claimed that the cell phone actually belonged to her, the mother. Mom claimed that taking away the phone constituted theft and had the father arrested.
“This one hits way to close to home for me because I have a daughter with a smart phone,” Darren says in full disclosure. Adding, “This is a dad who’s engaged in what we call good parenting. …What’s really the tragedy is Mom brought law enforcement in. You’re not modeling good behavior and I think that’s the real headline here.”
What do you think? Do you think taking away your child’s phone is theft?
