A mother convinced Rock Hill police to arrest her 12-year-old son after he unwrapped a Christmas present early.

The boy's great-grandmother had specifically told him not to open his Nintendo Game Boy Advance, which she had wrapped and placed beneath the Christmas tree, according to a police report.

But on Sunday morning, she found the box of the popular handheld game console unwrapped and opened. When the boy's 27-year-old mother heard about the opened gift, she called police.

1. She should have just tasered him and called it a night

2. She's 27. He's 12.

I wonder if she stopped maturing at 15.

And what kind of police officer would arrest a kid for opening his own gift.

There's either more to this story, or something is really wrong.

3. Keith Olbermann rated them the worst persons in the world.

4. Sorry guys, it's a dupe.

I searched here for it - didn't realize it was in GD.
