Teen Calls 911 After Parents Take Away Xbox

Lol Precious I completely agree

Given todays legal system, I really am surprised the parents were NOT incarcerated for not giving the child a "time out" prior to taking away the toy.

I agree with you. The parents should have let the police take the teen for a ride back to the precinct. In handcuffs. Just for a little while. Placing the emergency call without an actual emergency is a crime.

Well Precious we can certainly do that.

Yup...shoulda placed him in lockup for a while. He would have been crying for mommy and daddy in 10 minutes.

Someone could have had a real emergency while this kid was playing around with 911. The parents not only need to get him used to discipline, they also have to teach him what 911 is for.

Couldn't have said it better myself Betty! Obviously the kid hasn't stopped to think about the hundreds of thousands of kids being beaten or worse by their parents daily, they're the ones I want to hear about calling the police not some snot whose upset his folks took away a game.

You are so right Betty. Some of today's kids are the whiniest, most self centered and selfish brats ever to be called Americans. Thank God our Greatest Generation were the complete opposite or we would be speaking German or Japanese right now!

ITs called going postal

No, it is NOT "going postal". That expression is about as juvenile and disrespectful as it gets.

My uncle was MURDERED in one of those "postal" incidents in the Gadsden, Alabama Post Office in the '70's. He left behind a wife and two kids (my cousins) who were in their mid-teens.

Anyone who uses the expression "going postal", as far as I'm concerned, is saying that my uncle's death (and the deaths of the others who have been killed in these "postal" incidents) is just a big joke. It's also an insult to the hard-working people who bring you your mail. Well, HA! HA! to you!

Four I can forgive. At that age one can't expect them to know what an emergency is nor what would happen when he or she called. Maybe in your son's mind he was supposed to call 9-1-1 every time he got in trouble, not to escape punishment but because that was the rule. Or the thought the people on the other end would help without comprehending that he was calling police.

But fifteen? Really? The kid knew what he was doing. Either that or he has the mental capacity of a five year old. Which is entirely possible come to think of it. Calling over an x-box. The kid is either mentally retarded or spoiled rotten.

THAT IS SOOOOOO FUNNY!!!

I thought that is why God made those little peach tree limbs,, Does wonders for kids attatude. My youngest child is 34 and he will tell you that he appriched getting his spankings.

well, I don't think spankings are necessary, but discipline definitely is.

Just as a point of general information all the hype about child protective services is just that, a bunch of hype. They don't care if you discipline your child. They do care if you beat your child, don't feed them, don't water them, burn with something hot, whip with a belt until bleeding occurrs or deep bruising. Does that sound unreasonable to you? If you spank your child and someone, friend, neighbor, family member, reports violence to the child you will be investigated. Majority of the time the suspect is thanked for being cooperative and have a nice day. Now, what is the problem with that? Really if people ignorant of what they are talking about would keep their mouth shut life would be a lot better for all of us.

Kids today are not stupid, just lazy and spoiled and when you punnish them, they SPAZZ!! I think after a call to 911 the kid should been spanked with the X-BOX!!
