I like the way they give her name and address in the attached arrest log. No worrying about cissy data protection laws there.:-D

I understand why she had the boy arrested. Mybe sitting the night in jail might change the boys attitude. I do wonder does the mother not realize that she supports the boy and she might have to pay has legal fees for the charge that she filled against him?

Sometimes simply is better than fancy. The developer stated after typing code line 10 billion!!!

Stupid mother, Stupid Policemen. It's sad that such a small familial incident goes public, me think the police should have simply taken 5,10, 15 minutes and talk to the mother and the kid; and that the mother let it go, and not give this kid other presents on christmas day, that will teach him enough.

I have to admit that the words trailer trash did cross my mind - but then I have got a nasty suspicious streak in me:-D

Let him play with it for the day and then take it away and give it to the next door neighbor's child. :mad:

What a b****. She clearly doesn't have a clue what the word 'education' means. Probably the 'disruptiveness' is caused by herself and I really, really doubt it will get better with events like this.

Apparently lack of parenting skills runs in the family. Victim No. 1 is the boy's grandmother so she had to go along with this debacle! :rolleyes:

That's not very subtle, is it? I reckon he'll find Christmas Day a bit dull without the additional games that he would've got. Being a 12 year old, he'll finish the bundled ones in a matter of days. Christmas Day is also a bit duff if everyone else is opening exciting presents and all you get is a humbug. Bah!

She's 27, her boy is 12 and 'disruptive'. Do you need to know more?

Kids are different, and there is no foolproof "educating kids for Dummies" method. Unless I'd have dealt with this kid, I wouldn't dare to judge the mother. At least over here, single mothers are tough tanks.

so you think it's normal that a mother calls the police when her kid opens his present to early? In that case give me life-long imprisonment...

The good thing is that the boy wasn't shoot dead by the policeman during arrestment!! :-O

And if he repoduces at the same age the mother would become a grandmother at 30. Geez I'm 32 and I cannot imagine being a grandfather just yet - I still feel a few years away from fatherhood.

Don't leave it too long or you might find the need for assistance from the likes of Professor Winston - have you seen his recent documentaries "A Child Against All Odds" on BBC1
