Agreed. I would appear that she is utilizing the police to make up for her lack of parenting... If you ask me, that's a slippery slope. Once kids start hanging around other bad kids, there's a snowball effect. Punishing a kid that doesn't do what he/she is told is one thing. Calling someone else to punish them only lessens their respect for you and decreases their chances of taking responsibility for their actions.
I call it extremely bad parenting if you have let things get so bad that calling the cops is all you know how to do.
What a waste of taxpayers money. I am sure the police have better things to do... no?
If she had really wanted to teach that kid a lesson, she could take taken it back and given it to a kid on the street, making him watch. And on Xmas morning... he could have a lecture.
Silly parents!!!!

Um... yes it does as she is continuing to make very bad choices. Why the hell did she call the police?? Not mature enough to deal with a disobedient son?? Instead of using the police to solve this situation she should have used a leather belt and a store return receipt. THAT would have had a greater impact on the kid imho.
:disgust:
If she can't find out how to control her son, the state isn't going to be able to do it for her.
You don't go to jail to learn how to become a better member of society, and it sounds like that's eventually where he will end up.

It implies that she had fewer resources (experience, support, financial) to raise her child with. I'm not arguing that she cares about her son any less than another mother, and I'm certain there are instances in which a young mothers raises her child better than an older [mature?] one. I'm claiming that because she became a mother at such a young age, there's a strong likelihood her son did not receive all of the advantages he would've had otherwise, which adversely affected his development.

you actually think anything else was going on at that moment? BTW, many businesses hire out officers and pay them good money to basically be security overnight or, in the case of best buy, during big sales. Its a deterrent.
This can obviously be pointed back to the fact that the mom was 14 when she got pregnant with this kid....
I agree completely with this. Reminds me of all those parents on Ricky Lake and other shows with their "out of control" teens who simply "don't know what to do."
Calling the police just calls attention to the fact that the mother has no idea what she's doing and that she's no longer even trying to control her kid, which is just gonna lead him to believe that he doesn't have to listen to a word she says. She just nullified her own authority.
