mom calls the cops on teen gamer

It’s game over for a 14-year-old Roxbury boy, whose overwhelmed mother was so exasperated with his incessant video game playing that she called the cops on him.

The final straw for Angela Mejia snapped at 2:30 a.m. Saturday when, “I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the light on in his bedroom,” hours after she had told him to go to sleep.

“Sometimes I want to run away, too,” Mejia said, breaking down in tears in her immaculate apartment. “I have support from my church, but I’m alone. I want to help my son, but I can’t find a way.”

I know I seldom say anything harsh but here goes.

Lesson #1 you pay the bills.

Lesson #2 you bought the computer and put it in his room. You can take it out of his room or bash it into little pieces.

Lesson #3 if your think 9/11, the schools, or "the village" is going to raise your little bastard son you've already failed.

I'm just sayin at least this mom knew where her kid was at that hour of the morning, unlike many other parents...take the game away for a week and let the child earn the privilege to play. Monitor the time & the type of games. So she's raising the kid as a single parent...maybe there's a dead beat dad who knows where, or even a deceased dad..WHY must everyone jump to negative conclusions on this???

I think my dad's response to this would have involved throwing a gaming device out the front door into the yard. Shortly thereafter, the seat of my pants would have been warmed up by the appropriate application of a leather belt.

I am never surprised at the things cops get called to respond to these days. They have reached an asinine level. Many people have reached the conclusion that they want the Government to handle all the little problems in their lives...regardless of how trivial.

Ask Ronnie P. that question. It is he who has concluded that the boy is an illegitimate child, notwithstanding anything in the article that would confirm that. Is Ronnie's racism showing?

I was raised exactly the same way sassy. In todays world though if you spank your child the child will report you at school and you will recieve a visit from the local DHR.

Todays kids are out of control, especially for a single parent. They have rights now, thanks to liberals. At the time I thought some of the spankings I received were borderline abuse but before my dad died I thanked him for those spankings. Kids today have no respect.

I am very thankful that my parents gave me what I needed in all ways -- food, shelter, clothing and DISCIPLINE! Of course, if a belt wasn't handy and hand would do...and I agree with Sassy -- that computer would have gone out the front door with no thought to the money at all...

I had a friend that was caught watching porn when he was like 16 by his dad. Back then you had 1 maybe 2 tv's in your house. His dad took the VCR, the tapes, and the TV and made him throw it in the trash...he was grounded from TV unless his parents were in the room for a good 6 months. He couldn't even go to the movies with his friends. It happened during the summer and the family got a new TV to replace that one at Christmas, but they still didn't get a VCR.
