Say What?? Mom calls police for help in dealing with video gaming son.

The Borton Herald reported that a single mom had to call police to get help dealing with her son. He was playing a Grand Theft Auto game in the middle of the night, after he had been told to stop multiple times. The mom appearently reached her limit in dealing with his defiance when she called 911 to get some back-up.

You can read the entire report HERE.

This is a very unfortunate circumstance for this family. But one that could have been avoided. First, it is important for parents to set limits and stick to them. Kids need to know how often and how long they can play their games. Secondly, parents need to be involved in the games being played by their kids. There is no excuse for a teenager to be playing a Grand Theft Auto title. Games like Grand Theft Auto are rated Mature for a reason.

Agree? Disagree? Please let me know your thoughts.
