Boy grabs knife after dad unplugs video game

HONG KONG, China (Reuters) -- A 13-year-old Hong Kong boy flew into a rage and threatened his parents with a kitchen knife after his father pulled the plug on his computer game, police said on Monday.

"The boy's mother told police the boy was thrashing about with a knife. Nobody was charged," a police spokeswoman said.

The father managed to overpower the boy and no one was injured in the fracas early on Sunday morning, a local newspaper reported.

The father pulled the plug on the game at around midnight when the boy refused to stop playing and go to bed.

I hate it when you run out of weapons and are just down to the knife.

I'll bet the dad thinks twice before doing that again.

Somehow I have the music to Frogger playing in my head as I imagine the boy trying to escape from a boot up his ass from his pa.

hopefully the parents punish the child in such a way that it is the child who thinks twice before doing that again.

He camped for awhile and then used a cheat code when the boy pulled the knife.

there would be no marks for the self righteous anti-discipline nanny state bureaucrats to use against me in a child welfare case. More of a boy meets phonebook kind of story...
