South Carolina mother has son arrested for playing with Christmas present

COLUMBIA, S.C. (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 grandmother's house next door and played with it. He was arrested on petty larceny charges, taken to the local 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 her son was diagnosed in the last year with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder but 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."

Calling the cops for playing with Christmas presents too early is a example of how women can't control, discipline children which men are able to do.

The child is not normal, the mother isn't either and the father is nowhere in sight. So in a desperate move she calls Big Brother for help.

Single mothers are ruining generations of boys.

Why take such a drastic measure?
Someone can't control their kids (or possibly can't be bothered to control them), so they call the police....just seems like a massive over-reaction...it's ridiculous.

I've heard of parents calling the police to teach their kids a lesson when their kids have been involved with drugs, but this is with toys!

Most parents would be able to deal with this easily and would not have to resort to calling the police, and the thought of doing so, and pressing charges, would be out of the question.
