The mother of 14-year-old has called in the cops because her son won't stop playing, yep - you guessed, Grand Theft Auto IV.
According to a report in the Boston Herald, "The final straw for Angela Mejia snapped at 2:30 a.m. Saturday when, 'I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the light on in his bedroom,' hours after she had told him to go to sleep.

"'Sometimes I want to run away, too,'" Mejia said, breaking down in tears in her immaculate apartment. 'I have support from my church, but I'm alone. I want to help my son, but I can't find a way.'"
Mejia unplugged the PlayStation and then dialed 911. Police responded by basically tellign the kid to stop giving his mum a hard time and go to bed. "They (police) were just like, 'Chill out. Go to bed,'" the boy told the Herald.
Why a 14-year-old is playing GTA in the first place wasn't even mentioned in the article...
Now they put out a article like this? A parent in Germany destroyed his son's Xbox because he saw him in a strip club in GTAIV. Was that ever mentioned?
The Herald is a parochial little rag at the best of times. I wholeheartedly expect a headline from the Harrogate Advertiser one of these days...
Still, at least Bostonians can feel proud of having a mayor that sounds like Peter Griffin doing brain washing voiceovers for people on the moving walkways at Logan international.
gta 4? jeez get with the f*king times kid, theres a sh*t load of better games you could be spending alnite playing and getting the cops to come and tuck you in for the nite!
But you do get my respect for being such a rebel haha!
dorian nobody on here wants to know about your bad/shady internet experiences mmmkay!!
The fact this woman goes to church is the first issue. Secondly shouldnt let him play the game full stop. So complaining he plays it until late is just a joke.
thirdly... what kid at that age cares about going to bed "early". most 10 - 16 year olds are up playing games until the unholy hours of the night, jeeze give the kid a break.
would you rather him be out on the streets doing drugs and robbing cars or playing his playstation until late...? hmm tough choice eh?
people and parents reacting like this is exactly the reason why the gaming community have a bad name against them. It's there stupid reactions which cause all this who-har in the first place.
Rage xmas number 1, best news since sliced bread. Merry xmas all. lol
People dont like reading, thats why TV and video games were invented. The goes to church so of course she is crazy, but she wasnt wasting police time as they were probs eating
Dose anyone else feel that dorrian is self reflecting on others. he seems to have the horn for nonces. he just cant stop talkin about them in the hope that one gets in touch with him.
Woman should be praised for actually carng, alot of parents wouldn't. She over-reacted but was clearly at a loose end. As for chilling out cause loads of kids are up at that time, clearly you've never been a parent, it has knock on effects. A fourteen year old shouldn't be playing GTA IV anyway, she should have foreseen that. And the fact she goes to Church is somewhat irrelevant, then again some people take any opportunity to knock the Church without knowing the facts. Sure the Church has alot of bad history, but they also do incredibly good work that rarely gets mentioned.
well since you got in touch it seemed liked it worked hhaaaa oj lol and bunneyo no one cares abiut your paedostaion fanboy comments but ya'all dont here me complaining and rage xmas number one has made my xmas for years 2 come :L FOO FIGHTERS MONKEY WRENCH FOR NUMBER ONE NEXT YEAR
Another thing... stupid american mom....now that your name has appeared in the press all over the world, your son is going to get the s**t ripped out of him at high school for ever.
You know dorien... I cannot help but notice that whenever someone makes a comment about a PlayStation you seem to make some kind of holistic remark back whether or not the original comment was nice or bad. I'm beginning to get the impression someone is a fanboy themselves...

Seconded! The dude is indeed zooming for a grooming!
