| It's apparently hard for a teenage boy to put down simulated violence and sex. Who wouldda thought? |
Boston PD spokesman Joe Zanoli says a mom called police at 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning to say her teenage son wouldn't stop playing video games and go to bed. Apparently the kid has a bit of an addiction to Grand Theft Auto. Even more nefarious: He was wasting energy by going around the house and turning on all the lights.
But instead of tasering the little ingrate, as is protocol in Arkansas, the two officers convinced the kid to do what's right and obey his mother. And they didn't even need to draw their weapons or beat him with the Yellow Pages to get compliance.

Really, what's with parents these days? How hard is it to unplug the console? How hard is it to hide the games?
Also, lets not forget that the game is rated M - meaning retailers don't sell it to those under the age of 17... this parent is basically facilitating the child's behavior, and then cries foul when it comes back to bite her in the ass.
Parents need to start being parents instead of just pushover landlords and chefs.
Posted 12/22/2009 at 05:25:57 PMloved the references to the arkansas story. I cant believe people call the police for these reasons. I cant even believe the police went over to help, must be a nice part of town.
Posted 12/22/2009 at 08:42:59 PMHonestly cops should arrest the parents and send them off to a camp for a week for being so pathetic. As stated, rated M for a reason, also, unplugging equipment is difficult.
Posted 12/23/2009 at 08:24:50 AMThere is actually settings parents can use to have the gaming system shut off after a certain time.
Posted 12/23/2009 at 08:26:02 AMParents that phone the police to control their children (to shower, to stop playing video games, etc.) need to be ordered to take parenting classes, fined or arrested. Not only are these incidents a waste of important resources but the parents should be embarrassed that their children don't respect them and further that they can't make their children respond to simple commands...these are prime examples of people who should have never had children.
Posted 12/23/2009 at 06:52:23 PMThere should be fines for this type of thing. A policemans job is to protect citizens, not be parents. While these cops were playing parent to this brat and his sh*t for brains mother, some poor woman was getting raped in a back alley or someone was getting robbed....you know actual crime.
Posted 12/28/2009 at 04:22:11 PMWhat is wrong with parents these days???? Grow a 'pair' and unplug the freakin' console. Or better yet (as mentioned before) use the parental controls that come with the console and have it shut off after so many hours. Why are people like this even allowed to breed?
