How does the 10 year old know his dad's username/password? 
I doubt a 10 year old who's just had a massive row with his dad is going to be defending the aforementioned dad on a motoring forum...
Well despite other posters insisteance that this incident actually happened I'll explain why I think it didn't.I doubt a 10 year old who's just had a massive row with his dad is going to be defending the aforementioned dad on a motoring forum...
1. The child was apparently using an iPhone while his dad slept off a bottle of vodka. This would mean one of three things happened.
a. He has an identical fingerprint as his dad.
b. He knows his dads passcode.
c. He used his comatose dads finger to unlock the phone.
I would say all of these are fairly unlikely/physiologically impossible.
2. The child states he was cowering under the duvet - this turns out to be untrue according to the OP.
3. The OP has a history of mental illness - please refer to his other posts on various threads.
4. The OP has a history of taking various uncontrolled drugs (E's, acid, plenty of spliff and shrooms).
I think all of the above make the whole story pretty unlikely and the OP not entirely reliable with the truth.

It is possible and fairly likely that a ten year old does know how to circumvent security. That is if the phone did indeed password lock between his dad falling asleep and him using it.
It is possible yes, apart from the fingerprint being identical (I hope we can agree on that 
)With the above said, it looks like it was actually the childs iPhone, which would mean security would not have to be bypassed. Although he would have to know that his dad was on PH, and know his username and password.
Again, very unlikely. If a child was frightened, would he use his own iPhone to try and discuss the matter/swear a lot at strangers on a motoring forum?
I don't even know why I'm trying to explain this - it's all a bit ludicrous
king weird.

Little Ex has been getting a bit bold recently.
In fact we had an argument last year where he was screaming his nuts off about not being allowed access to the tablet computer at bed time, so I removed the problem by smashing the tablet and slinging it out of the window.
'There you go mate - there is no tablet computer any more - so we are are never going to argue about that again'.
Tonight we had a similar argument, only this time it was PS4 vs bed time.
Daddy said "No", kid says "Why?" Daddy says "because I say so" - everything escalates, so Daddy just removes the problem and slings the telly out of window. Ouch.
"You can't play the PS now? So better you shut up and go to bed like I asked you".
My advice, don't give your kids so much free space that they think they own it, and also when they pop up trying to contradict you - don't be afraid to show them a real consequence.
Oh and, pitching a TV out of the window is a real "rock star" experience that you should all try one time in life.
Any one got a telly they want to sell me?
So you bring your children up with the lesson that a rage of unplanned violence just solves everything, right?In fact we had an argument last year where he was screaming his nuts off about not being allowed access to the tablet computer at bed time, so I removed the problem by smashing the tablet and slinging it out of the window.

If it wasn't for threads like these, I probably would've been stuck with a kid by now so thanks
If you're basing your life choices on threads on PHs about some bloke chucking a telly through a window, I'd suggest having responsibility for children isn't for you really, yonex said:
You 'requsted'?
Well, you could have turned the internet off, removed the plug etc. All you have done is shown that you've got a bigger child in you. Now the poor little sod will be scared of you, as well as angry. Bit late now but try spending more time away from the video games with him/her and make daddy a friend rather than someone they fear and won't talk to. Speak at their height, lower your voice and tell them. Reasoning is for adults, children function from learned behaviour, including rage.
Just as I have you written off as a complete idiot, you come up with this post. I am somewhat shocked and impressed. You don't happen to have a large collection of monkeys and typewriters do you?
