Some people aren't fit to pro-create, let alone own a pet.

a mother not knowing how to mother *sigh* becoming too common these days.

she shoulda given it back, or given it to someone else since the brat doesn't know how to listen.

Wow....

I don't even know what to say...geez. Parenting by police...what exactly is THIS going to teach the child? Besides, if he HAS been prosicuted for shoplifting already, what is another arrest going to do at this point?

Oy...people

It's obvious that every one of those "mothers" was still a child when they had a child. To be 63 and a GREAT grandmother is just insane. This brat's mother was 15 and that leaves possibly 2 18 year olds having kids to make up the difference...OY! This kid is doomed and will be taking up a spot in prison when he's 18 if he continues the path that he is on now.

Mugsy, you covered the math the way I did. GREAT grandmother at 63??? Wow.

The police should have charged the mother with aggravated cruelty too -- thats just plain mean to put a coveted toy under the tree like that and not expect a kid to peek and "steal" it. She might as well have put a neon sign over it that read, "open me! Play with me!" Parents are supposed to HIDE these gifts until Christmas Eve when the kids are asleep.

My son once unwrapped a CD I bought and replaced the new one with an old one. He spent weeks listening to the new CD. I was on to him but never let him know. On Christmas morning, he opened it and pretended to be surprised, only the surprise was on him, I asked him to show us which CD was in the package. You should have seen the look on his face. THAT taught him not to sneak Christmas gifts before their time much better than a call to the police.

My dad is droven nuts by calls from parents asking the police to come by and talk to their kids and 'scare them'. This case does seem extreme... I wonder if the police actually arrested him, or made his mom do a citizens arrest form on him...

Gosh, I would have been flipped over my mon's knee and paddled till I couldn't sit down for a week!!! It sure wouldn't have happened more than once, I can tell you!!!
