Mother has son arrested for opening Christmas present
Brandi Ervin called the police after discovering the youngster had repeatedly disobeyed her by taking a Nintendo Game Boy from its hiding place at his great-grandmother’s house and playing with it.
Officers in Columbia, South Carolina, handcuffed the boy and took him to the police station on petty larceny charges. Ms Ervin said she had done it to teach him a lesson. “He’s been going through life doing things and getting away with it.”
