DECEMBER 5--A South Carolina boy, 12, was arrested Sunday morning after his mother called police to report that he had unwrapped a Christmas present without her permission. According to a Rock Hill Police Department report (a copy of which you'll find below), the child opened a Nintendo Game Boy, though he had been directed not to by family members. When the boy's mother learned that the $85 gift had been opened, she called cops, who charged the juvenile with petty larceny. In an interview with The Herald newspaper, the boy's mother, a 27-year-old single parent, described her son as a disruptive child, noting that she hoped his arrest would serve as a corrective to disorderly behavior at school and home.

On TFP we've already hashed and re-hashed how so many parents are too emotionally terrified of their own children to raise them anymore. And then I get to eat next to them at the restaurant. What I can't figure out is why the police didn't tell this lady to go fuck herself, grow some backbone, and handle her own damn kid.
Holy shit, lady.
