COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) -- A fed-up mother had her 12-year-old son arrested for allegedly rummaging through his great-grandmother's things and playing with his Christmas present early.

The mother called police Sunday after learning her son had disobeyed orders and repeatedly taken a Game Boy from its hiding place at his great-grandmother's house next door and played it.

He was arrested on petty larceny charges, taken to the police station in handcuffs and held until his mother picked him up after church.

"My grandmother went out of her way to lay away a toy and paid on this thing for months," said the boy's mother, Brandi Ervin. "It was only to teach my son a lesson. He's been going through life doing things ... and getting away with it."

Police did not release the boy's name.

The mother said that her son was found in the last year to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but that his medicine does not seem to help.

She said he faces an expulsion hearing at his school Wednesday. Rock Hill Police Capt. Mark Bollinger said the boy took a swing at a police officer assigned to the school last month. He has been suspended from school since then.

The boy's case will be presented to Department of Juvenile Justice officials in York County, who will decide what happens to him, Bollinger said. His mother hopes he can attend a program that will finally scare him straight.

"It's not even about the Christmas present," she said. "I only want positive things out of it. ... There's no need for him to act this way. I'd rather call myself than someone else call for him doing something worse than this."

Obviously her parenting style isn't doing any good, why not enforce the long arm of the law?
 
I have a standing policy for my kids when they get older: Don't hit them with objects or fists. Other than that the sky is limit. Headbutting, elbows to the eye socket, kneeing, kicking, headstomping, one day I'll use them all.

Just kidding...mostly.

I do plan on having a section of un-grassed dirt in my back yard that my kids will dig holes in as a form of punishment. The most serious punishment being to dig a hole as wide as the shovel and as deep as the shovel, then filling it back in.
 
Thats the only way the little bastard will learn.
My parents had me arrested for not eating my vegetables and I turned out alright. :shifty:

Like that movie almost... starts with an F I think...
 
So, if a man grabs a girl's butt it's sexual harassment, but if a man demands that the girl grab his butt and she doesn't do it is that like reverse sexual harassment, or dereliction of work related duties, or how does that work?

might this be why flamingglory makes is digging ditches and making "roads" in his backyard? :fly:
 
If a child calls his grandmother Momma, and he calls his mother Pam... that child is going to jail.
 
I had my son arrested last week for playing with toys all the time. It's just non stop with that kid. Trucks, trains, cars, dinosaurs....I finally just had enough and picked up the phone. He has to learn accountability for his actions.
