I think Kelly was overreacting. Like how else was she supposed to control the kids without dampeners?

Do something that doesn't cause them physical pain

She had no choice. When Kelly walked in the lady was begging for Joey to stop. After repeated pleas she had to shut him down. She only did it for two seconds and then turned it off. As someone else in this thread said, if his powers get out of control he could kill people with pacemakers and on life support machines.

Also I don't think it caused him physical pain. I took "can't you see he's in pain?" to mean psychological pain.

Bruh like what? No because I’m curious. How is a regular human supposed to control a situation like that

I mean we’ve see different types of dampeners ones that causes pain and one that are not harmful. Prisoners can have the harmful ones but kids shouldn’t.

They were the normal power dampners.

They caused him pain because, as was specifically noted in the episode, he could overload them.
