Southern Momma Takes On Drugs, Pleads For Nation's Future
After shooting her kids' cell phones, this Georgia mom then blows up their beds. But there's a passionate method to her apparent madness.
COWETA COUNTY, GA -- One day after blasting her kids' cell phones to smithereens in her war on social media, Deborah Smith launched her own war on drugs.
"My two boys decided not to join me today," Smith said, in her second "Southern Momma Has Had Enough" YouTube video. "They're out using drugs with their drug thug buddies. T'hey come home and sleep all day in my house in their bed.
"Today, we're going to take that option of a place to sleep away." See for yourself what happened next:
"Boys, this is all that's left of your beds," Smith later said. "I'm sorry, but they exploded."
Earlier in the week, Smith denounced "the effects social media have on my children, their disobedience and disrespect," and then took a rifle to their cell phones as her kids looked sullenly on.

But after Smith blew up her kids' beds, she then made a third, equally passionate -- albeit less violent -- video in which she shared her concerns about her childrens' future.
Smith recorded the video while walking through the Little White House Historic Site in Warm Springs, GA.
"We have reached a point where social media has taken control of our lives," she said. "This next generation has no idea how to talk to people or interact without a text or an Instagram message or a Facebook post.
"Yes, I blew up my childrens' cell phones. Yes, I burned my children's mattresses because I wanted my childrens' attention before its too late for them to learn how to be a responsible, respected adult."
