Penalty for unwrapping gifts early: Arrest
A mother convinced Rock Hill police to arrest her 12-year-old son after he unwrapped a Christmas present early.
The boy’s great-grandmother had specifically told him not to open his Nintendo Game Boy Advance, which she had wrapped and placed beneath the Christmas tree, according to a police report.
But on Sunday morning, she found the box of the popular handheld game console unwrapped and opened. When the boy’s 27-year-old mother heard about the opened gift, she called police.
“He took it without permission. He wanted it. He just took it,” said the 63-year-old great-grandmother.
Waldrop said he was not aware if Rock Hill police have ever arrested a child for unwrapping Christmas presents early.
“Yeah, it’s strange,” he said of the case.
Ya think?
@ Dan, poster # 40…
You werent there either man. If the adults knew how this kid behaved, why would she tell the kid about the present under the tree and what it was? Doesnt that sound like they were setting the kid up?
Also, I’d like to add in this:
““He took it without permission. He wanted it. He just took it,” said the 63-year-old great-grandmother.”
IT WAS A PRESENT TO THE KID, He just took it earlier than he was supposed to
