Runescape Bits & Bytes :: View topic - Mum has son arrested for opening christmas present o.0

A 12-year-old boy in Rock Hill, South Carolina, just couldn't wait for Santa to deliver presents this year. According to the local paper, the child unwrapped and opened a present containing a new Game Boy Advance this past weekend--fully three weeks before Christmas. When the young boy's mother found out, she called the police and told them to arrest her son. The boy at first denied all knowledge of the missing portable but later returned it to his mother after she threatened to call authorities. The mother then called the police anyway, and when they arrived at her home, the boy was arrested and taken to the local police station.

The boy was charged with petty larceny, but because he is a juvenile, he did not have to spend time in jail.

The boy's great-grandmother bought him the handheld as a Christmas gift and left it under the family's Christmas tree with specific instructions not to open until the 25th. "He took it without permission. He wanted it. He just took it," the great-grandmother told The Rock Hill Herald.

The mother defended her actions, telling the paper she had her son arrested because she was trying to help her son, who she said has a history of behavioral problems, including a previous arrest for disorderly conduct. "He's the type of kid who doesn't believe anything until it happens," she said.

That is stupid... What next... Pumpkin carving on the 30th!! Death Sentence!!!

Or a Mental Institute? I'd be worried if someone was carving a pumpkin on the 30th of December.

Why does America feel the need to continually prove itself to the rest of the world that it's inhabitants have a mental capacity not dissimilar to that of a dog or an infant?

We don't need any flaming here.

Eh, it's just a mother who wants to scare some sense into his head. I don't see why a kid who hits cops should even get presents for Christmas. To me, that's a better punishment than phoning the police.

That was on the news last night, i thought it was a little funny, but they said that the kid got arrested for hitting a cop last week, but is there really a law on opening a gift.

At least the kid will think twice about opening his pressies early next year though. Overreaction? Nah!

My parents ussually don't have presents that early in advance. I would arest the mother if I were the cops, for wasting my time. I think it is over reacting. If you don't want your child opening the presents don't put them under the tree and hide them. He should of been grounded and the GBA taken away at the most.

What the **? Dude...I have no comment on this...on second thought...yes I do. Why the HELL would a mother call the cops on her son in the first place? Why the HELL would you put it under the Christmas Tree if it is 3 weeks early? Finally, why the would you want a Game Boy Advance for Christmas! Dude, if your kid opened a Christmas present that early, just hit smack him or spank him or whatever the they do! All done! No need to call the cops you piece of ! Why the hell would the cops arrest him! Hes 12 years old! What's next? I mean, ffs Cheney shot his friend in the face! I wish that died so Cheney would be taken off his position! I am so god fed up with this government, how it works, who's in office, we voted a C- grad in...TWICE! That * needs to get off crack, eat a Pop-Tart, drink some Ovaltine, and GET INTO REALITY!!! I mean, ffs. There's people getting murdered EVERY SINGLE DAY! And this * is * because her son opened up a Christmas Present!! WTF!!!! Or maybe someone wanted some attention. I don't know. I don't care. I feel like going over to her god house and....whatever. Not gonna waste any more of my breath on this matter. I am so sorry about my language. I am just so ** fed up with this god-damn country.
