Another Bad Parent Calls 911 For Help
This is absolutely a stark example of what is wrong with a large portion of America these days. Several readers sent me this article and I just have to comment. “The 911 on video game obsession,” is the title … subtitle, “Frazzled Roxbury mom calls the cops on teen gamer.”
I’ll present you with the article and then comment:
It’s game over for a 14-year-old Roxbury boy, whose overwhelmed mother was so exasperated with his incessant video game playing that she called the cops on him.
The final straw for Angela Mejia snapped at 2:30 a.m. Saturday when, “I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the light on in his bedroom,” hours after she had told him to go to sleep.
“Sometimes I want to run away, too,” Mejia said, breaking down in tears in her immaculate apartment. “I have support from my church, but I’m alone. I want to help my son, but I can’t find a way.”
Ms. Mejia needs to put her brain in gear. Honestly? She, “can’t find a way,” to help her son play less video games?
Ok I am going to go out on a limb here and suggest something very radical; something SO radical that I am sure that its radical nature alone is the reason that Ms. Mejia never was able to think of it and execute the plan. Ready? Ok … deep breath.
Step one: Take video game system away from son.
Step two: Be a parent and don’t give it back until the problem is solved.
OMG! It just might work!
Give me a break! This is the problem with so many Americans. They don’t solve their own problems and want someone else to do it for them. The mere fact that she called 911 for something like this is prima facie evidence that this woman is not competent enough to have a child. Much less vote or handle heavy machinery. And please, for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, keep here way from the scissors! Yes, even the safety ones for small kids! I dare say she would easily find a way to mortally wound herself with even such an innocent item.
She should have to reimburse the tax payers for every dime she has wasted.
