Default Teen Calls 911 After Parents Confiscated Xbox360 - 11-21-2009, 08:38 AM

A Buffalo Grove teen was having fun, fun, fun until his parents took his video game system away.

So the unhappy 15-year-old dialed 911 around 12:50 p.m. Sunday to complain to police about his parents confiscating his Microsoft Xbox 360 as punishment.
"The Xbox caper started out as a 911 hang-up call," Buffalo Grove police Cmdr. Steve Husak said.

Police traced the call and sent 2 police officer's to the house where the teen inquired whether his parents had a legal right to take away his system.
Police then "advised him that he needed to listen to his parents," police reports said.


There's no indication of why the video game system was taken away or what the teen was playing. The Xbox, along with other up-to-date video game systems, include parental controls which can lock the system and prevent a child from playing.

Okay, that's one of the dumbest reasons why anyone would call the cops. It's almost as bad as that one lady who called the cops because she couldn't get a hold of her favorite pizza place. Hopefully that kid got into some kind of trouble for wasting the police's time. Can't people be fined for doing things like that?

This is stupid, I think he is very addicted to his console and games. His parents have rights to confiscate his Xbox. Good to hear the police did nothing.

I personally do not understand why he would do this.. It's just a system.. It's not his whole life (Unless he was a professional, that's a different story)

But he should not get obsessed over videogames, that's when it controls your life and you get fat...eat bad, etc.

Well, children are children, in this case this teen is not a teen, he is a child, with childish thoughts and habits.

Haha! That makes me chuckle a little bit.
Unfortunately I guess thats just 15 year olds for you.

Hearing this, I have to ask, what else happened? Obviously it's ridiculous for him to behave this way, but he's either gotta have some serious medical condition or his parents must have done something pretty aggressive to make him call the cops! (Or he's just really stupid, spoiled, and a down right bad kid)

Take your pills people!

Video game addiction... so serious sometimes lol, but I can think of worse things kids get into.

Very funny news Maybe the teen is about to finish the game then suddenly his parents took the xbox away that's why he's very angry and made the 911 call I would be very angry too if that's the case...lol
