Astor Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Story, link to main article within. The Boston Herald has the story, which begins with 49-year old Angela Mejia noticing a light on in her son’s room around 2:30 AM on Saturday, hours after she apparently told him to go sleep. Finding him playing a videogame, she called 911 rather than simply turning off the videogame console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtas Vadum Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Considering the fact that it was a Saturday, maybe she should've just set a few limits on how late he says up on the weekends. Though I think it is a little drastic to think that he needs medical attention, just because he would rather keep playing the game, instead of saving the game and turning it off. And I'm sure that he wouldn't be the only one that would wake up in the middle of the night(no matter how early), and simply had the thought, "hey, I wanna play [insert video game name here]".

adamqd Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I just hope that the police officers weren't held up too long, and some criminal didn't get away with a crime because the police were held up with this waste of Time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trench Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 @thread: One time a while back I woke up at around 3 AM and decided to play a game. I regretted it, since my mom wouldn't let me get the extra sleep I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I like this part the best: Finding him playing a videogame, she called 911 rather than simply turning off the videogame console. Police responded, told the boy to “Chill out” and to “Go to Bed,” which the boy then did. "He's in that room, playing his favourite violent video game!" "Uh... okay." *open door* "Hi kid, chill out, turn off that console and go to bed, it's pretty late." "Okay." *turn off, go to sleep* *fade to black* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hopefully they arrested the idiot mother and charged her with making a frivolous 911 call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litofsky Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Maybe she's just afraid of her son? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Avlectus Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 ^^^Maybe, it wouldn't be out of the realm. ================================== Neurotic parents, shouldn't have kids if they aren't willing to deal DIRECTLY with problems. I have no sympathy for people like these. This is so ****ing ridiculous it's not funny.

JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Who doesn't stay up? especially on Fridays/Saturdays. 3 is normal, 12 is way too early, and 6 is late. Then just sleep till 12. I was up fixing computer stuff till 5:30 just last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hopefully they arrested the idiot mother and charged her with making a frivolous 911 call. Is wasting police time not an offence in the US? I know it is here; the maximum penalty is a fine or six months imprisonment. I'm not sure this woman needs six months in prison, but then again, if she's really that silly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynk Former Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I'd totally rock that test. Yeah. Question 17: If your child does not eat their vegetables, do you... a) tell them they must eat all of their vegetables before they can go and play. b) throw the vegetables out and tell the child they don't have to eat them if they don't want to. c) tell the child to go to bed and then while they're asleep get all the vegetables in the house, dress yourself up as a vegetable zombie and then scare the living daylight out of the child. Then quickly retreat out of their room, take off the vegetable zombie costume and go back to your own room. Your child will run to you seeking your protection. Once they do, let them know that if they don't eat their vegetables then they'll turn into vegetable zombies and come and eat them while they sleep. d ) eat the vegetables yourself *prime ticks c and thinks to himself "yup, I rock!"
