Kid Arrested for Opening Gift Before XMas

from Breitbart

A fed-up Souht Carolina 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 grandmother's house next door and played with it. He was arrested on petty larceny charges, taken to the local police station in handcuffs and held until his mother picked him up after church.

Police did not release the boy's name. The mother said her son was diagnosed in the last year with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder but his medicine does not seem to help. The boy's case will be presented to Department of Juvenile Justice, who will decide what happens to him. His mother hopes he can attend a program that will finally scare him straight.
