I have yet to see a positive effect on kids from video games. Why not just go down to corner and buy your kid some heroin if you want to keep him out of your hair? Probably better for him.
To: freespirited
She said she wouldn’t buy the game but he has it?
Why doesn’t she take the game away????
I played the game and like it for its openness...can virtually do anything if you just ignore the little mini-missions in the game.
But, it obviously has some violent elements. I wouldn’t let kids play it.
At the same time, it is a Saturday night. Relax...I stayed up until 2:30 or 3 all the time in high school on a Friday night (not a wild child or anything, just watching movies etc.) She seems a bit crazy to demand he go to bed. It isn’t like he is 10.

a simple luggage lock through one of the prongs on the plug will usually do the trick. Even the most brain dead publick skool kid can figure out how to connect aligator clips to the cord off an old lamp.

Women in general who pull that crap. Like mine. And yours. :( Grrr.

That said, obviously he should obey his mother.

It just shows you how the public has let government and idiots take over raising their own children.

The police, expecting something far more dramatic than an unruly 14 year old, managed to talk the boy into shutting off the game and going to sleep. Good grief.
Police response should have been something like, "Ma'am, is there an actual emergency? Is there a fire, serious injury or a crime being committed? No? Goodbye." [click]

“911, what is your emergency?”
“Yes, can you send another cop? I can’t get Officer Squantos to stop playing GTA now!”
To: Lonesome in Massachussets
but where are inner city kids going to find alligator clips and wire cutters?
besides, with the way the power packs are on most systems any more, that would put it way beyond their grasp.

Grand theft auto is an incredible study of the human nature. When you are allowed, even encouraged, to do whatever you want, regardless of the law, after a while it gets really really boring.

She should have been fined and given a manual on how to spank her son.
Interestingly, some of the Jewish faith believe that boys can become men at age 13. I think a childish 14 year old should be spanked. Then again, if raised properly to begin with, spanking is unnecessary. She should have seized his computer game and locked it in the trunk of her car for a week.

Then again, if raised properly to begin with, spanking is unnecessary. I would say usually unnecessary. A rare and moderate whack on the bottom is needed just to get their attention sometimes.
