GTA is a killer! Mother calls cops to stop son playing Grand Theft Auto

Police say a frustrated Boston woman called police to say she couldn't get her 14-year-old son to stop playing video games and go to sleep.

Officer Joe Zanoli, a police spokesman, said that the mother called for help around 2:30am on Saturday to say that the teenager also walked around the house and turned on all the lights.

Surprisingly, her call actually worked, as two officers who responded to the house persuaded the child to obey his mother.

Zanoli says the mother's police call over the teen's video game enthusiasm 'was a little unusual, but by no means is it surprising - especially in today's day and age when these kids play video games and computer games.'

According to The Boston Herald, who first reported the police call, the boy was playing 'Grand Theft Auto' (although they don't report which entry in the GTA series had so grabbed the boy's attention.)
