It’s no secret that teens love their devices. But what’s perhaps true for the vast majority of us is that the more precious something is, the more we want to hold onto it and keep it safe. So when it comes to a phone that you paid for yourself and that holds sensitive information (even if it is just TikTok videos), you certainly don’t want it to be confiscated. But this is exactly what happened to a Reddit user’s daughter. The teen was caught using her phone during class, and the school decided to keep it for an entire two weeks. However, the mom was not happy with this decision, so she refused to leave and instead sat in the school’s office until they gave in. After this incident, the mom turned to the subreddit ‘Am I The [Jerk]?‘ to see if what she did was right. Continue scrolling to read what she wrote.

Mom Karens her way to get her daughter’s phone back.
A mom’s 16-year-old daughter got her phone confiscated for using it during class to watch TikTok. The school’s policy had changed to keep the phone for a certain amount of time, but the mom was not ok with this as she didn’t trust the school to not lose it. She went to the school and requested it back and waited for close to two hours. Finally, the principal came out and said she needed to leave. She said if she left, she would come back with a police escort. In the end, the phone was returned to her. Her husband says she “Karen’d” her way out of it. Read on to find out what others think of this situation.
