Post News, Mom calls 911 over son's video-game habit.
BOSTON - Police say a frustrated Boston woman called 911 to say she couldn't get her 14-year-old son to stop playing video games and go to sleep.

Police spokesman Officer Joe Zanoli said Monday the mother called for help around 2:30 a.m. ET Saturday to say that the teenager also walked around the house and turned on all the lights.

This does not suprise me at all as I think parents have become afraid of their children......a friend who is a cop told me his police dept was called, not 911, but called by a mother because her 8 year old refused to go to school...hmmm an 8 year old refusing to go to school or a 14 year old refusing to turn off the video games...what do you think would of happened even just 20 years ago

Someone already posted this topic. Look a couple of threads down for how I wanted to handle video game playing at my house.
