911, What’s your emergency?
Xbox Punishment
A 15-year old boy from Buffalo Grove, Illinois phoned the 911 emergency service on Sunday, to find out whether his parents had to right to take away his Xbox 360 as punishment.
The conversation didn’t last long. In addition, officers went over to the boy’s residence and informed him that his parents can indeed take away his Xbox 360, and that he would do well to learn from their discipline.
There’s no detail as to what the boy did to receive his punishment.

Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb, Microsoft’s Director of Programming for Xbox LIVE, responded to the story on his Twitter account with some good advice: “No no no NO folks. Do NOT do this.”
