When a father receives a concerning message from his daughter, he takes action and shows up at his ex’s house. But things don’t go as smoothly as he’d hoped. The daughter had been locked away from all electronics as part of an ‘electronics detox,’ and her stepbrother had been teasing her, causing her distress. The father’s ex-wife is upset that he showed up unannounced, but the father argues that he had no other way of contacting her. The situation has caused tension between the father and his ex-wife, and even his own parents are taking her side. But was the father right to show up unannounced?
