"My grandmother went out of her way to lay away a toy and paid on this thing for months," said the boy's mother, Brandi Ervin. "It was only to teach my son a lesson. He's been going through life doing things ... and getting away with it."
Wow... I can't believe it... She's right!!

You know, hey... I don't think this was all that 'wrong' of her. If this kid has been doing things forever and getting away with it, he needs to be taught a lesson. Christmas or not... Christmas is not an excuse for bad behaviour simply because it's a holiday.

"It's not even about the Christmas present," she said. "I only want positive things out of it. ... There's no need for him to act this way. I'd rather call myself than someone else call for him doing something worse than this."
Good for her. It's good that she wants to avoid him doing things like this when he's older. He'll be better off for it. It may have been an unusual punishment... But whatever works! Kudos to mom for parenting.
