13 year old punched TV

My 13 year old ss has punched the TV in a Fortnite rage, this is the second time hes done this in 3 months.
I'm absolutely furious, I've told him we will be taking his xbox and his iPad to pay for a replacement. He told me to fuck off and that I couldn't take his things. I told him that if my money pays for it and it's under my roof I can.
His dad is still at work but I've had a few aggressive texts from his mother telling me I have no right and threatening to come sort me out her words. Hes now laughing at me because he knows all he has to say is he will never see his dad again and it's all forgotten.
For 6 years hes smashed and broke countless things in this house and I'm sick of him getting away with things through threatening not to come. Wibu to just take them and sell them. Why should I keep spending my money so he can smash or break things if it was one of my own children this is what I would do. We have joint finances but I earn almost double my partner so it's not like I haven't paid for these things.

What's happened since this morning OP? You cant have this child in your home again particularly given his mother's reaction and his threats. You need to make a plan with DH who I would need to be backing you fully to keep you and your property safe. He can see and support his child but elsewhere in order to keep you safe. You shouldn't be expected to be afraid in your own home.

@plainSpeakingStraightTaking. You’re being pedantic. The bloodline doesn’t matter, both op and the child’s parent, need to start parenting. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
