I don't think confiscation would be fruitful.
Based on the (inevitably) scarce information, my guess is that the parents neglected the subject during the childhood, she grew up used to "passive entertainment", and she developed an addictive personality.
If this is the case (see the part where she mentions she's easily bored), removing some means would just transfer the addiction to other ones, potentially (but not necessarily) more dangerous.
An approach would be family therapy, as the parents also had a causative role.
Of course, all of this is a wild guess.

- pizza234 7y agoThis is a flawed argument. Nobody wrote that therapy is a universal panacea (I wrote "approach", which is an entirely different concept). Also, you clearly don't know how therapy works. It's not something can "do" "anytime anything happens", like going to the car mechanic, in particular, because therapy takes a (at least relatively) long time to have effects. The idea to go to therapy in cases like this is actually based on the opposite of what you wrote: 1. that the event is exceptional (it's not "anything") 2. that there is a pathological context (addiction) 3. more subtly, that there is at the very least a communication issue in the family
