My little brother is addicted to electronics, and has taken to crying and swearing when his Ipad is taken away. Lately, he has started punching the table in frustration. Is there anyway to help him?

I don't know his age, but I am more concerned about the fact that his ipad has become so important to him that being without it is causing him so much stress and discomfort.

I would suggest that whoever is responsible for his discipline re-evaluate their approach.
