Boston mom calls 911 over over son’s video game habit

BOSTON (AP) – Police say a frustrated Boston woman called 911 to say she couldn’t get her 14-year-old son to stop playing video games and go to sleep. Police spokesman Officer Joe Zanoli said Monday the mother called for help around 2:30 a.m. Saturday to say that the teenager also walked around the house and turned on all the lights.

Two officers who responded to the house persuaded the child to obey his mother.

Zanoli says the mother’s 911 call over video game obsession “was a little unusual, but by no means is it surprising – especially in today’s day and age when these kids play video games and computer games.”

The Boston Herald first reported the 911 call, saying the boy was playing the popular “Grand Theft Auto” game.

Only in America? Think again. In this article from The Courier-Mail, we learn this little nugget of info:

“Psychiatrists have confirmed that some players wear nappies during long sessions so they won’t have to take a toilet break.”

Yes, *NAPPIES*!!!

No sooner do parents get their kids toilet trained than WoW goes and undoes all the good work.

Video game addiction is so widespread that today’s kids are being referred to as SCREENAGERS and addiction centres are popping up around the globe.

So, fess up…  Are you too hooked on Final Fantasy to do your homework? Would you rather spend the day with Super Mario instead of your boyfriend? Crushing harder on Zelda than your girlfriend? Are you a gaming geek who can’t stay away from the console? It’s okay… Help is available. In the meantime, why don’t you change your status to AFK and g37 4 1if3.
