ComputerAndVideoGames.com Wrote:Child arrested for opening his GBA before Xmas
Thursday 7-Dec-2006 11:18 AM
Mother calls the cops after her 12-year-old son opens his Xmas presents early. He just couldn't wait for his GBA...
A local paper in South Carolina has reported that a boy who opened his presents three weeks before the big day had the cops called on him by his own mother. The boy was actually arrested and taken down the nick and then charged with petty larceny. But because he was under age he didn't have to do any hard time.
'Mom' defended her actions by saying that they were for the boy's own good: "He's the type of kid who doesn't believe anything until it happens," she told The Rock Hill Herald.
Bet he does now...
Remember folks, santa doesnt like people who don't respect Christmas day!

Serves the little brat right for not having any patience. They'll learn patience and maturity one way or another... this merely rushes things a bit... go super moms! XD (Yes I'm a real hard-ass on small children... do I care? No... just pity my children. XD)

I agree, it is pretty nasty and over the top.

Well when a kid's not going to learn, you've got to use extreme methods... then they'll behave like a good little brat. XD (So help me if I have kids... pity them. XD)

I'd understand if it was a DS, but a GBA... Does that even count as a Christmas Present anymore?

Most likely not.
