Rebecca Judd’s son broke his school’s cellphone ban this week by using his new Apple Watch to text his mother and make a prank call to emergency services.
The AFL WAG, 41, who shares four children – Oscar, 12, Billie, 10, and twins Tom and Darcy, eight – with her husband, retired footballer Chris Judd, received a stern note from Darcy’s teacher when she used her birthday gift during school hours. .
Mobile phones are now effectively banned in public schools across Australia, with secondary schools following suit with primary schools last October.
The Melbourne businesswoman and television personality shared several screenshots of messages she received from Darcy during school hours.
‘I love you love. Poo poo poo’, he had texted her.
“Darcy got an Apple Watch for her birthday and today she got an eSIM,” Bec captioned the first screenshot she shared.
‘He easily cracked the “school time” code and has been texting and calling me all day. I feel sorry for your teacher.’
The last phrase took on a sarcastic tone when combined with a see-no-evil monkey emoji.
Rebecca Judd’s son broke his school’s cellphone ban this week by using his new Apple Watch to text his mother and make a prank call to emergency services.
The AFL WAG, 41, received a stern note from Darcy’s teacher when she used her birthday present during school hours.
The Melbourne businesswoman and television personality shared several screenshots of messages she received from Darcy during school hours.
In the screenshot below, Darcy had texted him a series of cat GIFs.
“And he’s discovered GIFs,” Bec proudly shared.
‘Do I have to go to cricket training?’ Darcy texted him in the third screenshot.
Bec shares four children (Oscar, 12, Billie, 10, and twins Tom and Darcy, eight) with her retired footballer husband, Chris Judd.
“There’s too much stomach flu out there.”
Then: ‘Can I have a cookie when I get home?’
In August, Rebecca took to social media to share how she wrapped her children’s Nintendo Switch console in Glad Wrap after they came down with the stomach bug.
‘Who has gastro?’ the mother of four responded. ‘Stay away from them.’
‘PS: Why are you on your Apple Watch during school hours?’
His son responded with a GIF of a dancing cartoon chicken.
The AFL WAG questioned why her son had called her ‘mum’ using the Americanized version of mom or mummy.
‘What is my password for calling people?’ He texted her to ask.
‘What is my phone number?’
‘Mommy, can you answer?’
Rebecca circled the Americanized abbreviation for mother in the screenshot and repeated it in her caption with a confusing emoji.
The model’s annoyance over her son learning American slang from friends or TV shows reportedly turned to relief when she received a stern note from her third-grade teacher.
“Hi Bec,” it began. “Just a quick note to let you know that I spoke with Darcy and his friend about calling emergency services,” the teacher wrote in her email.
“Fortunately it was 911 and not 000.”
Darcy had called the emergency services number used in the United States, and commonly mentioned on children’s television shows, instead of the Australian triple zero.
His teacher didn’t mince words when signing his email: “I’m sure you understand the seriousness of this game.”
Rebecca responded with a laughing-crying emoji in her caption as she wrote that she wouldn’t be sending her son to school with his high-tech watch today.
Prices for an Apple Watch Series 10 start at $649 for aluminum models and $1,199 for titanium models.
Darcy and her twin brother celebrated their eighth birthday three weeks ago.
Bec, who lives in the affluent suburb of Brighton with her husband and four children, has become known for being outspoken about the issue in Melbourne, and particularly in the Bayside area where she lives.
In June, he criticized the city as “woke, broke and violent.”
Rebecca has been praised for using her platform (mostly on Instagram, where she has 756,000 followers) to draw attention to the crime problem in her neighborhood.
She has also come under fire for complaining about her lavish lifestyle and last week came under fire for an “embarrassing” post about a sponsored car.
‘I don’t know how you can feel more embarrassed. Your self-importance reeks of you,’ one upset follower commented on Rebeccas post about her new, gifted, custom-made Land Rover SUV.
