A father tried to punish his son by taking away his beloved Xbox 360, so the son reportedly tried to punish his father by calling the cops on him and reporting it as a theft.
The incident happened over the weekend in Christchurch, New Zealand. The unidentified father and his 17-year-old son got into an argument over the teenager's bad grades and the father decided to confiscate his Xbox 360 because he puts in around two or three hours of game time a day and "puts it before everything else."

Either way way more people own an Xbox 360 so this kind of stuff is more likely to happen, or way more people who own an Xbox 360 are under the age of 13.
Not sure which one it is...
" more people own an Xbox 360 so this kind of stuff is more likely to happen..."
The difference in numbers isn't to the degree that the number of incidents should be that vast, I think that since more Americans own the 360, and America is a very violent country, I think that's the underlying cause for the incidents.
I see what you did there. That's a troll post. You're an Xbox fan. :]
Xbox 360 is more popular among kids at the "trouble age", Wii is more popular among younger kids (8-12) and the Ps3 is more popular among the (somewhat) more mature range 18-24. This is probably why you only see these types of stories about Xbox.

seems like he has priority issues - gaming over parents and gaming over education!
Kid calls cops on me.
Day one, 8:15:05am:
Kicks son out of house, tells him to get a job, confiscates everything he did not buy with his own money including gifts, charges for any doctor, dentist, and other bills accumulated throughout his stay and gets it from the things he did buy with his money along. Puts a bill into hand of son for any remaining debt.
Day one, 8:18am:
Changes locks.
Day one, 8:20AM:
Goes back to bed.
Skims through article and sees that the kid is 17 and has bad grades: Good job parent!
Reads the part that says "Dad proud kid called the cops": WTF! I would of broken that 360 into a million pieces!
The nerve of that spoiled brat to call the cops on his dad when his dad just wants him to get good grades.
If it were my kid, his PS3 would go into the pneumatic press at work, and I'd make him watch...
Edited because my punctuation sucks.
Congratulations man, that is a good thing. Turning your life around and doing what you need to do. A step in the positive direction is just that, positive.
Once again, congrats.
Wow.
This runt needs a good understanding of the world and growing a pair of balls once he finally enters puberty would go a long way in helping him.
Son still lives with father, and still plays his old, beat-up 360, because working the fryer at the local buger joint doesn't earn him enough money to pay rent or buy a new console... all because he thought gaming was more important than education.
Father looks at his son and regrets not confiscating console when son was 13. Writes a hastily scribbled suicide note...
Yea, but
people need to learn to keep things to themselves. That kind of joking is really serious for some people. It'll remind people of it if they've had someone leave in that way.
I'm into dark humor, just not into dark failed-attempts at humor.
on topic- "because he puts in around two or three hours of game time a day"
that's not even much to prevent you from studuying, what was the kid doing the rest of the day? i smell a horrible father
it does 90% of the time in america, unless we're in a bad economy or you studied a field that isn't doing to well and isn't in demand.
Being uneducated means you will NOT get a nice well paying job, unless you're a drug dealer or work in the oil patch.
Yeah, America's great.
On topic: he'd never play games again. He might just have to find somewhere else to live, if he were my son. My parents took my PS1/SNES/PS2 away when i wasn't doing well in school(though I DID sneak and plug it in when they weren't around); if I had done something like call the cops, they would have waited for the police to arrive, and then beat me in their presence.
But still, being Educated will give you more of a chance to get a well paid job. Will someone become a doctor without good education?
Just an example.
It's only a matter of time before the kid off's himself aswell... just f*cken do it already.
A lawyer with those kind of grades? Keep dreaming.
Dad:......
Me:Uh...
*The next day...*

made the kid (17) touch his toes and whooped his ass good!
calling the cops cause daddy took your xbox?
pussy
Beating a defenseless elementary schooler is some barbaric ****. Parents/Fathers do it so their kids learn to respect them, but what does that teach? I really hope the "agrees" are only for people wanting to smack the 17 yr old dude and not for the "i hope the dad pulled off his belt" abuse. Again, I'm not saying the 17 yr old wouldn't deserve a kick in the nuts.
Oh, and I wasn't the one that disagreed with HammadTheOne. Not disagreeing with 310dodo completely either. I'm really only trying to inform. Remember when Americans used to think Blacks, Chinese, and Mexicans were inferior races in the past century? Well, wtf? Science (even though it's not needed) can prove that that's wrong. Psychology has grown to learn what I explained.
Loveline w/ Dr. Drew, people. I don't listen to it anymore, but I learned a lot from an MD and a recovering drug addict.
I was spanked with the belt like 6 times my whole life.
every time I did get the belt I deserved it.
go listen to loveline on kroq and get more knowledge you druggy lol
BS from the time i learned to talk and walk my parent's would beat my ass when i did something wrong.Mind you i'm Mexican so all those Mexicans know how are parent's are.They will beat our asses with whatever they can get their hands on Broom,Belt,flip flops etc...>_<.
The rest of the title shouldv'e read. " Father beats sons ass in front of the cops".
