it's kind of scary sometimes, you know?

So you can rest in that.
But you do have to be the parent, now.
And I've seen you guys since I've been around here
just tip-toe around them. But y'all got to be the parent.
So you need to sit her down and open up the communication
so she can tell you what's going on.
All right? Have you tried just talking to her?
- Yes. - Several times.
- Oh, I know.
You know, raising teenagers, it can be hard.
I know that.

Baby, she would've knocked me clear across this room.
Yeah, that's the kind of momma I had.
I know y'all not that kind of parents.
I wish I would've had attitude, mm!
Listen, I've been working with young people for a long time.
As soon as you give them the liberty to do what they want
when they want and how they wanna do it,
they will run over you.
Right now, you need to put her back in her place.
That's my personal opinion for her own safety,
'cause right now, it's kind of scary
'cause we don't know what she's doing.
But it is your responsibility to find out.
- Well...we can find out. - You can?
- JEREMY: Yeah. - Okay, so...what you mean?
- Well, we have this app that lets us look at her phone
so we can see all her text messages.
- Oh, really? Well...
- But Mr. Jeremy feels like we're invading her privacy.
- Well, I can see why. - So you think so too?
- A little bit, a little bit, you know?
I can see her point. I can see your point.
But I don't know if that's a good idea, though.
- I agree. - Okay.
- Well, you raised her.
Now y'all just have to trust her.
- We do trust her. We trust her.
- But y'all know your daughter.
Just follow your heart and just jump in there.
You know, ask the Lord to give you what to say.
That's all I can tell you, baby. That's all I can tell you.
