Yet more evidence that children are stupid and should be mass-executed has arrived today, with word of a young boy in Illinois who called the cops after his parents took his Xbox (we assume a 360) away as punishment for a misdemeanor.
The boy called on a Sunday at 12:50pm before promptly hanging up. As is routine, cops were dispatched to the little bastard's house anyway, where he then had the cheek to ask them if his parents had the authority to confiscate his stuff. The cops did not side with the wee dick, and instead advised him to listen to his parents.
It's not known what the boy did to receive his punishment. That is a mystery to be solved for another day.

The next fox news reprot:
tardxbox, how gaming makes children stupid.
That said... He definitely sounds like a child who needs to fear his parent's wrath or respect his parents, for sure. Or maybe respect his parents out of fear of their wrath?
Them kids these days...
I'd say the parents confiscated his maturity along with the 360, but clearly he had none to begin with.
He's still a snot nosed 'lil brat that needs to get off my lawn though.
You're an idiot. /subtle
i'm impressed
I saw some dad giving away his kid's 360 on craigslist b/c the kid got bad grades. Something similar should happen here.
At life, I mean.
