Of course you can take something away! They're children, and theyre not entitled to anything they want. What folks dont realize is that in fat, sedentary America... video games and television can be a horribly addictive habit with destructive consequences. Its a problem that needs to be addressed, and despite what the children may think... they dont have the knowledge, or right to discipline themselves. Keep in mind, I'm speaking as someone who had his games and tv taken away as a kid several times due to dropping grades. (granted...in my day it was the Sega Master System...) Was I mad? Hell yea! But did it help to clear that time consuming distraction? Yes. And I thank my folks for having the wisdom that I did not, and showing me that lack of self control can have negative consequences. It's the same thing with food, and all these obese children. When parents take the attitude of "you can't take that away, thats no way to raise a child," then they can't wonder why thier kid is a fatass... as they go out and buy him another box of twinkies. The point is, you have to tell them why it's being restricted, and include a lesson along with the punishment... You can't play games because you need to spend more time studying... you cant eat 7 ho-ho's a day because it's unhealthy...

Although, this kid sounds like he had more problems than that. Tresspassing...vandalism... man, if that were me as a kid... I'd need a prosthetic ass after my parents were done beating the shit outta me... +1 for the belt.

Originally posted by Beatflux In all seriousness, I blame the parents. The mother raised the child poorly and now wants the "correctional" system to fix him. Yeah right. If you are not going to raise a child correctly, then give it away for adoption so parents more qualified can take care of the baby.

It isn't always the parents fault. You could have perfectly amazing parents, but still have an unbalanced child with issues.

Originally posted by fayraree mother testifying against her son in her own murder case? what happened to old-fashioned parental values, regardless of how effed up the kid is. Seems like the police had ample evidence against the kid apart from the mother's testimony, because of all the witnesses.

Oh common Fahad! The kid tried to MURDER his parents. Don't you think she should be testifying? MURDER... you know, where people get killed by another person. Death. Bye Bye.

Originally posted by bananas That's probably because american parents imagine grounding as discipline, they think making their children hate them would help.

Ok... quit with the "only in America" bullshit. I'm not American, but damn that is annoying. You're stereo-typing and it's a load of hobunky. Can you please enlighten everyone on how you would handle a child that refuses to stop playing video games? Would you calmly "talk" to the child and hope they listen to reason? Come on with it.

Some of you are seriously thick.

How can you justify a child planning to murder his parents? Seriously?

HOBUNKY I TELL YA!

well at 16 and having a fit like this, he obviously has mental issues.
