Grounded my son for cheating in trials
So my son got a restriction today for backing out of matches in trials yesterday, and I grounded him from Destiny for a month. I know it is "just a video game", but cheating is cheating, and I will not tolerate it. The thing is he's pretty decent in crucible (way better than me), and he probably could've gone flawless with the right team. My ex wife doesn't understand it, but she backs my decision. He claims he didn't know, but we've had discussions about it before while doing random activities with myself and other clan members. What does the community think about this?

16 RepliesAn entire month? There's something called discipline and something called oppression. You sir, are going too far with the amount of time and it'll eventually have reverse effects such as lack of interest, etc. Maybe a few days at max.

Coming from a 15 year old, I think that that is awesome, but, I do think that a month is too much. I would have learned a lesson in 2 weeks and considering that he loves destiny as much as I do, then anytime being grounded would be a punishment that I would learn from, especially with the taken king coming out. I would say, since you cheated, I won't let you play taken king for a week after release, let me tell you, that would suck. Just my opinion though :)

I say you were justified in what you have done. Your son needs to learn that cheating is wrong and it's really best to get rewards based on the hard work you did. So he may miss the release of the new DLC, guess he should have thought about the consequences to his actions.

6 RepliesA month seems excessive when TTK comes out in 2 weeks.

Best dad ever

Good. Deserves it.

I tend to go shorter term if it is a first time infraction but honestly only you know your son. If it would take a month to get through to him then a month it is. If it is a first time and he would learn his lesson in less time then I would go there. Plus Bungie has already levied a restriction against him so he can't play trials for what about 6 months?

I don't see how leaving a game is cheating, but good job on whatever you're doing.

3 RepliesI'm with you here... ignore the haters, they're just butt hurt 15 year olds. Cheating is wrong, he needs to learn. A month sounds about right. Good parenting. 10/10.

Hahahahahahaha ahah ha h...... Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Good it will teach him a valuable lesson. Just stay strong and don't cave on the month thing. And wow I'm not surprised that most people on this forum are underage. Explains all the crying I see on here

Month seems too much. Your the father though, so it's really your call lol.

That is parenting done right!

1 ReplyBut what about TTK?

Maybe a little excessive. If your boy is being childish dont be childish back.

You should've dismantles all copies of his favorite weapon and given him a day or 2

You are one hardcore dad

Justice bump

There's discussion about whether it's too long. I think the length will make him remember it. Bungie should take your example :)

My dad or mom doesn't play video games

6 RepliesEdited by TKGenesis 98: 9/2/2015 2:02:16 AMI see many people didn't read you whole post. About how you know that's it's just a game, but it's the principle of cheating. I think what you did is right, and I would do the same. Some might say it's too long, but it will probably work better than just grounding him for a week or 2.
