COLUMBIA, South Carolina (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 great-grandmother's house next door and played it.
He was arrested on petty larceny charges, taken to the 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 that her son was found in the last year to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but that 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.'

His mother just fucked him for life. I'll bet we read about this guy again in the future. You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ." GivePeaceAChance: "If the Tempest had nipples, I'd pinch that shit." Xylicon: "I'm about to deliver my [Richard] in your face for posting that stupid shit. " WDF?: "He keeps reaming me... night after night... I'm rather sore." GivePeaceAChance: "OMG MY NIPS ARE HARD" llenta: "cantrip, you fail!!!" Filliam H. Muffman: "i'm on top of dick"

Seriously. His mom is a retard for getting the legal system involved when he's only a kid. This will forever be on his record, affect him for college, jobs, and everything else. I somehow feel this is more of the mother's fault in parenting than anything else. {pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name

well isnt he only 12 so his record will be cleared in 6 yrs?? but i agree either way the mom should handle it on her own. its not up to the court system to punish children, ......bad parenting = children unfit for society....maybe the mother should be arrested for child neglection Code:<a href="http://www.sloganizer.net/en/" target="_blank" title="Sloganizer - the slogan generator"><img src="http://www.sloganizer.net/en/image,Sloganizer,white,black.png" border="0" alt="generated by sloganizer.net" title="This slogan was generated by sloganizer.net"/></a>

i think it reflects just as bad as the cops that would agree to get involved on something so petty. ADD is as much due to bad parenting and bad nutrition (too much sugar and fat, not enough nutrients and slow release carbs) as it is due to any genetic predisposition. It typically happens in cases where the parents show the child more attention when he is bold than when he/she is good from what i gather. yeah, i'm a cranky 'oul fucker. deal with it.

At least in the state of Washington your criminal record is sealed when you turn 18. This prevents the public from having access to it and it cannot be used against you (unless you are arrested after you're 18 in which case they sometimes can revisit your childhood record to prove a point in court).

For the first 5 years of my life I had a cook and went to a private school, I got the best nutrition at home and at school and was diagnosed with ADHD at age 3. Yes I know it's a combination of factors, but I'm just wondering where food comes in. Then again while we are on the subject, I generally don't like to think of it as a result of bad parenting, it surely doesn't help, but genetics.

I'm also skeptical that it is linked to diet. It does seem plausible that it is both genetic and linked to diet though. It is interesting you were diagnosed so young and apparently come from a wealthy family - I've read many articles about rich parents pushing doctors to diagnose their kids with ADD/ADHD because it gives them an academic edge - they get prescribed drugs which help with concentration and in many places get special treatment on tests (e.g. they get to take them untimed in many placed). I went to college with a rich kid who this actually happened to, he still got issued amphetamines even though he knew he didn't really need them. Now that you are older have you noticed your ADHD has gone away at all? Razor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.

I was always really skeptical about attempts to link nutrition with psychological well-being, but then I noticed definite changes in my mood when I stopped eating so much fast food and other crap. I really think it comes from the partially-hydrogenated corn syrup that they put in absolutely everything. It's seriously nasty stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets linked to ADD/ADHD. I still consume a lot of it but not huge amounts like I used to. If I could afford it I would be eating all organic and free-range stuff prepped by hand, it's just too damn expensive though. One of the things I love about Europe is that people over there take food so much more seriously, but not in the froofy way Americans tend to (e.g. Vegans, who are cool but often totally nuts). Even regular stuff you buy in grocery stores tastes better and seemed to be higher-quality than in the US. And god the cheese. Everywhere there was such great cheese. Even the little breakfast buffet thing in the Shannon Airport (Ireland) had an awesome assortment of really good cheese. Razor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.

yeah i forgot to mention them. there is something about hydrogenated vegetable fat that fucks up the brain chemistry. as far as i remember its got to do with the old free radicals. it causes the formation of free radicals, which act like protein 9or attack the protein cant remember which) and get in the barin to fuck up the connections (not sure what it affects specifically, whther its the axons, NTs, or receptors or what not). basically they are useless and disrupt the NTs having an affect i think, causing the brain chemistry to fuck up. That's why you shouldn't eat ANYTHING with hydrogenated vegetable fats, and its in everything, from cakes, cookies to fast food and ready made meals... be careful what you buy. That's also why you should eat more Fish, they are full of omega threes which are what should go where the free radicals end up attacking. Dick Cheney's Mechanical Heart wrote:

Europe isn't as good as it used to be. Obesity levels are seriously rising, we're fast becoming a match for Americans! I can't get a fucking decent meal on my college campus, everything is shitty fast food. i either go hungry or walk over a mile to get a decent sandwich in town. it sucks. another thing i read recently about Vegans, recent studies have shown that apparently their offspring have lower IQs than normal, because they don't get enough of the good fatty acids (like the omega 3s i'm on about). yeah, i'm a cranky 'oul fucker. deal with it.
