A mother who found her son engaged in a late night gaming session felt she had no option but to call police on the boy, as he ignored her commands.
The Boston mother reportedly became exasperated at her 14-year-old son’s “gaming habit” and told him to play less, but matters came to a head when she awoke one night to find her son still playing Grand Theft Auto at 2:30AM despite being told to stop.
The mother then unplugged her son’s console and called police on him, who dutifully arrived and told him to “Chill out” and “Go to bed.”
The mother, a 49-year-old cafeteria worker raising three other children by herself, explained she only approved of healthy sports themed games and not ones teaching the basics of criminal entrepreneurship:
“I would never buy that kind of video. No way. I called because if you don’t respect your mother, what are you going to do in your life?”
Just whether the most noteworthy aspect of this story is the woman calling police on her own son, the police’s willingness to respond, or the fact that the boy avoided being tasered or arrested is difficult to determine…
This is one of many reasons why I dont want to have kids.
That mom is a failed mom. What that kid needed was an old fashion beating.
k seriously the mother is a dumb moron, but the son is guilty too i mean the game is violent and i event think its rated M not sure about that but anyway if hes doing a all night stand playing games is 1 thing but doing so constantly is another. im a game addicted too but when i have to stop i stop its not like its gonna b forever so y the rush? now i think his mother is dumb cuz she can’t handle her 14 yr old son when shes raising more, WTH WHOS THE FREAKING BOSS IN THE HOUSE??? with no exagerations that is
She fails as a parent……I don’t know about everyone elses parents but mine put the fear of god into me and my siblings….stupid bitch called the cops on her kid…..pathetic…..
I have to agree and disagree with the mother. Agreeing for actually minding her child playing till late. Disagreeing for resorting to calling the cops on this one. That’s WIN and FAIL parenting there. Heck, unplugging the console’s fine already. Did she really need to call the cops after that? Perhaps that’s the Amerikkka way of parenting? *shrugs*
Police: [i]”Chill out… Go to bed.”[/i]
Thank all that’s common sense in the world that the cops didn’t go trigger-happy on the kid. The least we hope to hear (or the most for some – *coughArtefactcough*) is another news of some disobedient kid being subjected to some form of torture that would make The Joker weep in his batcot.
Somewhat disappointed cops are still unwilling to provide [url=http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/11/15/man-calls-911-i-need-sex/]a certain “suggestive” form of service[/url]….
