A South Carolina boy, 12, was arrested on Sunday morning after his mother called police to report that he had unwrapped a Christmas present without her permission.
Apparently 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 the police 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 behaviour at school and home.
Smoking Gun report.
