She says her well adjusted teen daughter was just fine until the mom caved and bought her a smartphone for her 14th birthday so she could talk to her friends during the pandemic

I think this line might be the real issue that is being avoided tbh. People always want to blame social media, video games, etc for these kind of problems when it could be something else. Maybe she was going through major depression during the pandemic and lockdowns? Not everyone can handle that well.

Im also sure the conversation went like this: You are spending too much time on your phone. Im taking it away. Not asking any real questions and not trying to understand your child. That happens far too often
