Being Naughty This Christmas Could Get You Arrested

Wow, what a long time since I have blogged again, but I believe I will start writing them again soon since I have found more time(Christmas break and all...), and more interesting stories...

Staying in the spirit of Christmas I wanted to share this story about a mother who is angry, helpless, and in need of discipline in her son. The mother called the cops on her son because he opened his Christmas present early(Yes I laughed too)... The present, a Gameboy Advance, was a gift to him from his Great Grandmother.He had opened and hid the present that he was told not to open both by his mother and great grandmother. Both only realized that the son took the Gameboy after noticing the present wasn't under the tree. The mother told her son to bring her the Gameboy or she was going to call the cops. The boy at first refused, but eventually brought it down, but the mother called the police anyway. She stated that the boy was disruptive and had previous accounts of bad behavior, such as shoplifting. The mother hoped that the arrest would be a wake up call for him, to get rid of the disorderly behavior. The police could not arrest the boy because of his age, but since both the mother and great grandmother were so persistent, he is going to appear in front of the Department of Juvenile Justice and have a hearing there.

The police were astounded that something like this was reported. As one cop said:

"Yeah it's strange..."
Well the point of the story is that even if Santa brings you a present when you're naughty, mommy might take it away and get you arrested... Above pictured is the actual police report about the case, click to read....
