Teen Calls 911 After Parents Take Away Xbox

BOO HOO after the police left if I was the kids parents I'd be duct taping the little asses mouth and then place him in the very back closet in the basement, hanging on a hook by his shirt. Getting the spoiled asswipe bread and water for 3 days

what a stupid thing to call 911 for i'm sure there was some logical expeinassion for why the took it from him there was porbally one or two rules either in the house or at school that he wasn't sticking to and when kids don't stick to the rules parents are allowed to due this kind of thing if they feel it needed

Why does he have an XBox in the first place? A 15 year old should be doing school work, playing sports, or otherwise interacting with his peers.

This reminded me of when my youngest was just shy of being 17 years old. He is 34 now and I am 67. He had the Joe Montana Football video game and was playing it on our big console TV in the living room. I could hear him cussing and a thumping from where I was in the basement. I went upstairs and saw him cussing at the tv and hitting the screen because he was losing to the game. Concerned both for his cussing and the fact the vacuum tube screen could explode when hit, I made him shut off the game and took the tape cassette. He called the police who did come over for the domestic dispute. After the officer heard what it was about, he told my son that because he was not 17 yet he could take him with him out of the home, but after the officer looked around and saw what a nice home he was living in so advised him that he had it pretty good there.

That child would never, ever get "his" xbox back if he was mine. I guess generation z has even more thinking that everyone owes them something than generation y.

That kid would be in a boot camp or military school immediately. See how he likes to scrub toilets, spoiled brat!!
And his Christmas would be very, very bleak.

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.

The X Box would have ended up inthe trash after that at my house.
Kids are completely out of control these days and have no respect or moral compass at all.

I know that the courts say a parent is not suppose to whip a kid, but the rasor strap on the bottom, made me what I'm not. Some may not understand what the "made me what I'm not" is. Well I did not talk back, or sash my parents when a rasor strap was used on my bottom. Now I don't mean that it is ok to beat your kid, but one whap on the bottom want bruse them. It might make a little red mark, but that will not kill them. Look what has become in our schools, out in the general public. The parent should still be the boss.

If the Xbox360 was a gift to the 15yr old, then it is HIS property. A similar situation happened in my house with my teenage son and we agreed to let him keep his Xbox360 because he claimed it was HIS property, so instead we went to the fuse box and cut off the power to his room for 3 days. No computer, No TV, No Xbox360. We also suspended his service on his cel phone (as we pay the bill). He actually spent some quality time with the rest of his family for those 3 days (very rare). It worked for us.

Teenagers are a handful, I agree. But, it now seems like parents are too easy on their kids. It's like they don't want them to be mad at them or something. Parents are giving their kids to much power. What is the deal with all the cell phones, internet, and letting them watch whatever they want. These are all very POWERFUL things and parents are leaving it all in the hands of kids with no control. What happens to a kid in a candy store with no supervision? I really can't stand the parents that sit there and think "Not my kid". BULLS*@T! It IS your kid. There are so many kids doing heinous crimes now. Not innocent, but hardcore. Look at how many underage kids are now committing rapes and hate crimes. The parents of these children should be held accountable as well. Maybe that will make them into better parents if they know that their is a consequence for their lack of action.

Think of it, some kids do not even have a Microsoft Xbox 360. Go figure! It makes you wonder.

Must be a loser kid if he's 15 and all his parents are doing is taking away his X-Box to punish him. Was he caught with his hand in the cookie jar or something?

It cost taxpayers about $600.00 for that spoiled brat calling 911. dumass

My oldest daughter was about 8 years old when she called the police on the teenager next door because he was looking at her. His mother was a friend of mine. You know, we laughed (my mother and sister and me) but when I look back, I missed an opportunity to take a closer look at this kid. He turned into a thieving crackhead who thought he was God's gift to women. He was just a kid to me then, but now, he looks older than me and I have 5 grandkids. My daughter is now 27 and when she saw him she just said "Ee-yew." Sotto voce. So, if your kids tells you someone is looking at them, that means pay attention. (I know...Duh!!!"

I question the intelligence of some of you commenters.. You can't judge the WHOLE population of kids by ONE stupid teenager. I'm a teenager and I would never do this.
& don't act like you're so much better, because if you were raised right you wouldn't be saying that you would go and SMASH the xbox360.. that's just stupid. We're in a recession, andd you're telling me you would just go and smash a (at minimum) $200 console?
Wow..
Also, don't act like adults are soo great..
most murderers, rapist, robbers, etc. are adults.
adults have also but the U.S.A. into trillions of dollars in debts.
Anyway, don't be dumb people.

This is why my kids have no video games.

The article says "it was a HANG UP CALL". So the 15yr. old dialed, & was probably at the same time yelling, "If you don't give my x-box back to me I will call the police & tell them you stole it from me!"
But then when the line started ringing, & was answered,....he HUNG UP WITHOUT ACTUALLY REPORTING THAT HIS PARENTS STOLE HIS X-BOX AS A PUNISHMENT. If he did say it, they would have told him he was being ridiculous & not to call again unless it IS a real emergency.
OK? So, basically the kid made the gesture of calling to report it,...he made the threat. But he did not hang up fast enough.
THE KID DIDN'T REALIZE THAT 911 HAS CALLER I.D. & FOLLOWS UP FASTER ON A HANG UP CALL THAN THEY WOULD RESPOND TO A REGULAR CALL THAT THEY ARE TOLD WHAT IS GOING ON.
THEY RESPOND FASTER BECAUSE THAT COULD BE SOMEONE MAKING A LAST DESPERATE ATTEMPT FOR CALLING FOR HELP BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE KILLS THEM.
BUT 911 USUALLY CALLS BACK IF THE PHONE IS HUNG UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A CALL OR AFTER THEY ARE DIALED UP.
I know this because I called 911 in PA once, & the girl I was calling the Police on grabbed the phone out of my hand & hung it up!! Thankfully, they called back & sent the Police immediately.
