Excessive screen time causes 10-year-old boy to lose his Australian accent, parents defend their parenting choices: 'The kid obviously is deteriorating'

Everyone has a right to parent in their own way, but we also all have the right to think what we think about those choices. There are as many ways to parent as there are children in the world, and we will never understand the full scope of a situation from the outside. We can only hold judgments from afar and mind our business. That is, until you feel like someone is being endangered, especially if they're in your own family. Then it's not only your right but your obligation to say something in defense of the child.

That's what happened to one woman who noticed alarming changes in her 10-year-old nephew while she babysat. The problem was when she brought it up with the child's mother, she got told to mind her own business. Read on for the story and see what happened to this family, and see what commenters had to say.
