Parents take away his Xbox 360, 15-year-old dials 911

Most 15-year-olds who have their consoles taken away by their parents would just pass it off as a very bad day and lock themselves in their rooms cursing. For this teenager, it’s an emergency. After his folks took his Xbox 360 away, he went to the phone and dialed 911.

Most 15-year-olds who have their consoles taken away by their parents would just pass it off as a very bad day and lock themselves in their rooms cursing. For this teenager, it’s an emergency. After his folks took his Xbox 360 away, he went to the phone and dialed 911.

As soon as he did, he put the phone down. Thinking that it was a legit emergency, police showed up minutes later, only to find that the call was no more urgent than diarrhea. The teen simply wanted to know if his parents were within their rights to take away his Xbox 360 – the police were there anyway, so they had to break the newsflash – yes, they can, and they just did.

Police didn’t bother to ask why the Xbox 360 was taken away, but they should’ve left a reminder  tonever call them if he gets the RROD.
