I'm raging after my son's school confiscated his phone & locked it up for 24 hours… but it keeps him safe coming home
A MUM has been left raging after her son's school confiscated his phone without asking her, and kept it locked up for 24 hours. Chelsie explained that she'd had a call from the school saying that her son's mobile had gone off in his bag during class, leading to the teacher taking it from him. 2 But she said that the phone is the only way he can get in touch with her on his way home - as well as contacting his brother, who he meets after school. "Instead of saying to him, 'Could you just turn that off or remember to turn your phone off' they confiscated it from him and sent me an email to say that they were going to hold it for over 24 hours," Chelsie sighed in a video on her TikTok page. "My son needs that phone, he gets the bus home three and a half miles down the road. "He also meets his younger brother and needs a phone to be able to contact him to make sure that the plan is going ahead. "That phone keeps my son safe after school. "How dare they say they're gonna keep hold of it!" She continued to say that the school is "getting far too big for their boots". "Where's the warning?" she questioned. "Where's the 'turn your phone off'? "Where's the 'give me your phone and I'll give it back to you at the end of the day'? The school run's so awkward now we're on a shocking TV experiment - maybe other parents just want to sleep with us too? "You are not taking my son's phone overnight. You're just not doing it!" Chelsie added that she's had enough of "being told what to do as a parent by these schools". "It is my job to discipline my child," she insisted. "If I see fit that his phone should be taken away I will do that. "It is not your job as a teacher to discipline my child outside of school. "Give him his phone back at the end of the day if you are going to confiscate it." "Absolutely FUMING," Chelsie wrote over the top of the video. "These schools need to get back in their lane!" And she added in the caption: "RANT. These schools need to get back in their lane. "Taking my sons phone away overnight - I don't think so hun!" People were quick to comment on Chelsie's video - with some insisting that phones shouldn't be allowed in school at all. However, others hit back, with one writing: "People saying 'I was born in the 80s, we managed'. "Get a grip!! Bus timings are on an app, they pay bus fare on an app, we keep in contact on a phone, we track our kids on a phone... its 2025!!!!" "My son's was taking for a whole week!" another said. "And because I had signed the school policy to say I agree to that they wouldn't give it me back. "I asked what would happen if I retracted my consent of the policy, they advised that if I refused to sign the school policy then he would have to find another school." "As a parent and a teacher, they have no right to keep it overnight," a third commented. "I've confiscated phones that went off in class and they have always been given back at the end of the day. "It's not right."

Forsyth County family shares story of child's struggle with heart defect to comfort other parents of ‘heart babies'
FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — Chelsie and Isaac Morgan always knew they wanted children. First came their son Landon. Soon after, they found out they were expecting a baby girl, but what started as a normal pregnancy took a turn during a routine anatomy scan. 'At my five-month appointment, they couldn't find all the areas of her heart,' Chelsie said. 'Two weeks later, I went back and they couldn't find her heartbeat. It took about 20 minutes for them to find it, and they hooked me up to an ultrasound, and they saw holes in her heart.' Doctors soon determined their daughter would be born with tetralogy of Fallot and a narrowed pulmonary valve, congenital heart defects (CHD) that would require surgery. The couple was told to prepare for the worst as they prayed for the best. 'For me, it was just trusting in the Lord and trusting in my faith,' Isaac said. 'Trusting everything's going to be OK.' On March 17, 2016, Chelsie gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Isabella. 'The NICU and cardiologists were there with us. They had a team ready to take her to another hospital with children's pediatrics if needed,' Chelsie said. Isabella was stable. After four days in the NICU, she went home. 'I was just afraid of her future,' Chelsie said. 'Would she struggle? Would she not be able to be active? Would she struggle in school?' At four months old, Isabella returned to the hospital for a 6-hour surgery. 'The worst part of it … was right before surgery because she had no idea what was going on, and she was just a happy little thing,' Chelsie said. 'And then right after surgery, going in and seeing her on all those monitors was just terrifying.' Today, Isabella is 9 years old and thriving. Between dance, cheerleading and school, nothing holds her back. And with another surgery on the horizon, the family celebrates every day just how far their girl has come and gives thanks for all she has yet to accomplish. 'One fear that I have is that she's ashamed of her scar. I pray that she's never ashamed of it,' Chelsie said. 'It's part of her story.' 'I suspect her future is going to be bright,' Isaac said. 'There's no reason why it shouldn't be.' The couple hopes sharing Isabella's story will provide hope for other families with 'heart babies' like Isabella. 'After I found out her diagnosis, I found a lot of comfort hearing other people's stories and other kids that have lived through it,' Chelsie said. 'If I can do that for somebody, I want to.' On Friday, Isabella was honored at the American Heart Association's 2025 Triad Heart Ball and fundraiser in Greensboro. She'll have her next and final surgery in another five years or so.
