It's trivial to enable parental controls or block domain access from provider software. She's clearly projecting her failure as a parent.
Sad part is, she's set her kid up for decades of therapy over it in a public setting.
Forgot the non-technological part. Talk to your kid, and expect natural urges will win out so give them some guidance to navigate the real world out there. Being restrictive just backfires, either sooner or later in the person's life.
An old saying I took to heart many years ago while raising my kids went something like "It's not your job as a parent to protect your kid from the world, it is your job to prepare them for it."
Yup, I feel terrible for that kid getting dragged along because of her bullshit. I hope the kid is smarter than her and can escape the day he turns 18.
And then she'll be just so confused as to why he never talks to her.
