Who ever knew the Wii could be worth so much to someone...

Nice! way to go judge!!!

Issue a court order that all student and teachers at his school can beat him senseless with no legal consequences anytime he commits any acts of violence against them. It'll end very quickly.

He can have mine, haven't used it in ages.

YOUR NOT HELPING! lol.

I see much jail time in that kids future...

Can I have it?

Isn't hitting kids in the wii a little excessive?

Unless there's an underlying medical cause [which can be treated], don't waste the time. On next offense, put him down like an animal and suggest that his parents start over.

Sigh, the darn name of the console just makes this article sound so wrong . . .

Of course there is an underlying medical issue which after reading the article the court, school, and child protective services have all ignored. Just like this country to punish first, second, execute or third party killed and then go OH! he should have been on medication. The fact that he lives with his grandmother, no mention of parents, suggests either tragic death, abandonment, or abuse by his parents. What a wonderful country with live, thank you puritans!

redonkulous

A 12 year old kid.. that...

-smash the door windows of his elementary school
-chasing and punching classmates in the face
-hit one of his peers over the head with a pool cue
-breached that (court)order at least three times
-attacked a male student and female teacher at his new school following a game of dodge ball
- and who know how many arrests does he have....
- and most likely many other unreported offence/violence 1

ugh.... isn'y that kind of a lot for a 12 year old kid? Remember the things get to report or into the court are usually the tip of a ice...

That is very sad to see that grandma's kid who has accomplished "that much" in his first 12 years!

By the way... do you really that Wii can really keep him in checked?

If taking the Wii sets him straight he is a really deranged child.If his parents cant curb his anti-social behavoir send him to your child services which will either get him comitted or sent to boot camp.I really dont think this judge was thinking stright when he did this,kid commits assault and you take away his game console?That doesnt spell sense.

in my day my parents woulda juse beat my ass heres to bad parenting

When I was a kid my parents never hesitated to take away gaming privileges. It's really sad to see the court taking action his parent or guardian should have taken.

If the actions weren't premeditated (filling a sock and going after the front windows I consider premeditated) I'd agree the kid probably has a mental disorder, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Yeap, thank god my parents weren't afraid to hit us.
Seriously, we needed it...

Sounds like that boy has more serious issues than the court can deal with.

Maybe the problem is that with all this kid has done, there was still a Wii to take. My guess is the kid has a tv in his bedroom, maybe even a computer too.
Gone are the days with things like video game time and computer usage were monitored by parents.
And from the sounds of it, this kid, whatever the problem, needs to be in an alternative placement school designed to handle his issues.
As for the parents, of course I don't know the details, but I wouldn't hesitate to say there's an epidemic of appeasement as a parenting strategy.
Kudos to the parents handling their responsibilities.
Shame on the ones who aren't.

This kid obviously has some sort of mental issue, and when normal punishment doesn't work, you need to get him some help. Normal 12 year olds do NOT smash in windows with rocks nor assault students and teachers at multiple schools.

Why was he ordered to stay with his grandmother and not his parents? Sounds to me like there is probably trouble at home, causing this child to lash out at society. Most bullies are they themselves bullied by someone bigger and strong than them at home. Maybe instead of taking this kids Wii, the police should round up Mom, Dad, or big brother/sister for child abuse, then send this child to counseling.

Of course this is Tom's, so I doubt we've heard the full story.

sounds like it wont even matter, he apparently wasn't playing it anyway. he was busy beating ass and taking names. kid's either going military, cage fighter or rapist. maybe a little of all 3.

Wrong.

That boy is a serial killer to be.
Put him in juvy jail.

Watch and see if you don't.

Based on how badly this one turned out, they probably wouldn't do much better with any kids in the future either. Put him down and sterilize the parents.

As I'm sure there are many parents and future parents here, how do you handle a 12 year old kid who is threatening the safety of your own child without doing something so drastic as to get sent to prison for assault on a child?

I hope I never have to deal with something like this. There doesn't seem to be an immediate solution without dire consequences.

It's a shame today's kids act like derelicts 24/7. I concur with many, as if I had that list of accolades when I was that age, my parents (i.e. my mom) would have beat my ass. Today's bad parents...I just don't know.

Finally some words of wisdom!

Bring back crucifixion!

Ya take away Nintendo Wii, and let him switch to PC and PS3. Somebody lend him Grand Theft Auto IV and we can a new reality show.

I have a feeling that the judge just wants a free Nintendo Wii...

Yeah, man! This preteen kid's a bully and a delinquent, obviously we have to kill him. It's the only way to be sure!

this child needs to be on medication and/or in some serious therapy. otherwise we are right now reading about our next ultra violent serial killer.

mark my words on this one folks, but hopefully before he kills hell do something else to end up in prison
