In South Carolina, a 12-year-old boy was arrested for opening his Christmas gift a wee bit early.
After the box was found to be empty, the boy's mother questioned him about where the GameBoy he was to get on Christmas went. At first, he denied taking the GameBoy and pleaded that he didn't know where it was. Then his mother threatened him with calling the police. He relented and gave back the GameBoy, but she had already called the cops. He was charged with petty larceny but wasn't jailed.
Now, this might sound a bit harsh for opening a Christmas present, but no, it's somewhat justified. You see, the boy has had a history of misbehaving. Being a single mother, she didn't know what to do with him. He has shoplifted, stolen money from her, punched a police officer, and is close to being expelled from school. Her justification for having her son arrested was to give him a wake-up call so she wouldn't have to get a call from the police saying he was killed.
See her side now?

I like it, quite justified.
Now my question is why she's getting him a Gameboy if he's misbehaving so much.
Poor child.
Not for being arrested, his mother only bought him a GBA, I bet he wanted a DS.
Smis isn't it obvious he needs to play GTA :-)
