I really understand how old people's thoughts often don't match what we live in in this era of technological progress. And this is quite natural because the world is different and the technological capabilities of each parent are quite difficult.
But what I don't understand is why they have to call the police, which usually just creates difficulties for their children. Didn't they think to listen to the explanation first and believe that their child was doing something good even though they didn't understand everything? Like my parents too. Q
If they can explain well what they are doing, of course things like that will never happen and it would be better when we do a job that can earn us a large income. It would be better if we first explain to the people closest to us about what we are doing and don't let it happen. they think that what we did violated the applicable law.
Reporting to the police about actions carried out by their children is certainly difficult for their children and this could cause their children to have mental stress and I agree with you that it would be better for them to listen to their children's explanations first, because they are investing in their past and this time is very different.
