On a typical Sunday, November 15, 2009 afternoon, a teenager in Buffalo Grove, Illinois decided that he wasn’t about to just take his Xbox ban lightly. After a 15 year old boy had been told by his parents that part of his punishment for misbehaving to have his Xbox taken away, he resorted to desperate measures. He called 911.

He didn’t actually stay on the line, but he did call. Police then went to the scene, to make sure that everything was in order. It was then that the teenager pleaded his case to the police, asking if his parents had a legal right to confisgate his property for his wrongdoing.

Of course, the officers told the teenager that his parents were within their rights. They then advised him to listen to is parents and left the scene. No charges were filed against the teenager for his unwarranted call to 911. It was not revealed what the teenager did to cause his parents to deny him his Xbox, or whether it was an Xbox or Xbox 360 system.

If the kid thought he was in trouble before, imagine the kind of punishment his parents will have in store now that he called 911 for a frivolous reason and wasted the Buffalo Grove police officers’ time. If I’d ever pulled anything like that when I was a kid and my parents took away my Game Boy or NES, I probably wouldn’t see my system for a year!
