But there was a crime. He stole a GameBoy from his Grandmother. And I agree with the Mother, especially the part where she says she would rather call in her own son for something small, then it be someone else calling in a bigger crime down the line.
In my family, I would have gotten a belt across the ass for pulling something like that. But parents do need to have the power in the family, and it takes one normal officer a few minutes to keep the kid from ending up in jail for a lot longer in the future, I don't think it is a problem.
