This Woman Needs to go to Jail

What on earth? A kid handcuffed and sent to jail for opening a Christmas present early? Boy...that's really in the spirit of things. This is a very clear example of how many parents have come to depend on the state to raise and discipline their children. IT'S SICKENING!! The police should have locked her up when she called for something as retarded as a kid opening a present early.


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."

What is wrong with our parents?! You just read about or hear about or even see situations like this, and you just want to grab the parents and shake some sense into them.

Or maybe beat the shit out of them at the least.

The Mother who did this must be a Republican/Democrat who should be punished by sitting on the same plane as the passenger in American Airline who farted and then tried to hide her farts. I may be professional but I get this way with inhumanities toward children. In fact, every time I belch, fart, or do manure I will dedicate my belch, manure, and flatulence to this woman and her Republican/Democrat Counterparts.
