    Thanks for presenting evidence you didn't read the article, just responded to the thread title and taunt.

    The grandmother has had the gift on layaway for some time.
    The boy's actions have worsened, culminating in assaulting a police officer at school, and being suspended.
    I doubt that the mother is reveling in this, and I would imagine she's in dire need of help.

    Being a parent doesn't mean you have all the answers or can handle all things yourself.

    For my part, I''d rather she get whatever help she feels she needs, rather than the boy grow up to be dead early.
    I agree she should consider getting counseling for the kid. Or getting the grandmother to return the gift.

    Wasting taxpayer money is not how you raise your kid.

    Maybe this is a cultural disconnect. In Canada we have what is called "social responsibility". In America, the common theme seems to be "not my problem!".

    Getting your kid arrested and charged for opening a gift early is just stupid. There's a reason this kid is acting out, and if the mother had any idea what she was doing, she'd be finding out why. He's clearly got a lot of aggression, and if I had parents who did **** like this, I'd be acting out, too.

        He's mocking your justification of excessive force in virtually every conceivable situation.

        This is normal in Texas. It's called "overcompensating."

            He's jumping on the dumbass bandwagon?

            Oh, ok. I get it.

              You're the one defending a parent for being a dumbass, Slowwy.

                In America we have 300 million people, a media that hunts down stories like this, and a global audience playing gotcha.

                And a distinct lack of stealth nation technology.

                  except its NOT her own kid. shes the great grandmother


                  Errr...no

                  The mother called police Sunday after learning her son had disobeyed orders and repeatedly taken a Game Boy from its hiding place at his great-grandmother's house next door and played it. He was arrested on petty larceny charges, taken to the police station in handcuffs and held until his mother picked him up after church.

                      I edited it before seeing your post, revealing yet another strange twist in the space-time continuum. I think this twist proves that there was "A land before time", that the time is out of joint, the joint is out of thyme, and that Ninentdo ROOLZ.

                        Sloww, what is it you really want - nanny state or rampant freedom ? That kid should be allowed to exercise his right to freedom without state interference.
                        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
