Mom gets 911 help after son won’t sleep, keeps playing video game

If you’re a minor and your mother tells you to stop playing video games and head off to bed, it’s probably a smart idea to just do as you’re told. Otherwise, she might call the cops on you. Farfetched? Not exactly. A Boston woman did exactly that to her 14-year-old son on Monday night.

If you’re a minor and your mother tells you to stop playing video games and head off to bed, it’s probably a smart idea to just do as you’re told. Otherwise, she might call the cops on you. Farfetched? Not exactly. A Boston woman did exactly that to her 14-year-old son on Monday night.

Reportedly, the mother rang up 911 when her son walked around the house and turned on all the lights to play at 2:30AM. It took both police officers who responded to the mother’s call to get the teen to obey his mom.

Police Officer Joe Zanoli commented that the 911 call over a video game-related issue “was a little unusual, but by no means surprising — especially in today’s day and age when these kids play video games and computer games.”

So what was the game that literally kept the kid up all night? Grand Theft Auto. It was not specified which iteration it was, though.
