Child Arrested After Opening Holiday Gift Early
POSTED: 9:26 am PST December 5, 2006
What is the penalty for opening your Christmas presents too
early?
For one South Carolina 12-year-old, the penalty was arrest.
A Rock Hill, S.C., woman called police and asked them to arrest her
son who opened a Christmas present early after being told not to,
the Rock Hill Herald reported. Police went to the house and
arrested the boy and charged him with petty larceny.
The paper reported that the boy's great-grandmother had
specifically told him not to open his present, which contained a
Nintendo Game Boy Advance. It was wrapped and lying under the
Christmas tree, the police report stated.
But on Sunday morning, the gift was unwrapped and the box was
empty. So when the boy's mother found out, she alerted police, the
paper reported.
"He took it without permission. He wanted it. He just took it," the
63-year-old great-grandmother told the Herald.
The women said that the boy lied to them at first, saying he was
unaware of where the video game system was. After threat of calling
the police, the boy apparently gave the toy back to his mother, the
paper reported. But the upset mother called police anyway.
Two officers responded and charged the child as a juvenile with
petty larceny, although he was not jailed.
The mother told the Herald that she didn't know what else to do
with her son, so she called police. The paper reported she is a
single mother and has been struggling with constant behavior
problems from the boy. She said her son still showed no remorse
when the police came.
"I'm trying to get him some kind of help," the 27-year-old mother
told the paper. "He's the type of kid who doesn't believe anything
until it happens."
She said he has shoplifted, stolen money from her, punched a police
officer and is nearing expulsion from school. She told the paper
that she hopes this arrest will be a wake-up call for her son,
because she worries about getting a call someday telling her he's
been killed.
The mother plans to have her son placed with the state Department
of Juvenile Justice in Columbia at his court appearance, the Herald
reported.
