Boy Arrested For Opening Xmas Gift Early
DECEMBER 5–A South Carolina boy, 12, was arrested Sunday morning after his mother called police to report that he had unwrapped a Christmas present without her permission. According to a Rock Hill Police Department report (a copy of which you’ll find below), 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 cops, 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 behavior at school and home.

You know, short of rape and murder, I can’t think of any reason why I would called the cops on my kids. Now, the sad thing is she will probably still give him the christmas present. I tell my kids that if they want to peek, fine. But if I catch you peeking, that present goes to the church donation.
My kids never have peeked. They might stand at the dooor and be excited, but they have never peeked.
