eBay auction creates debate
A Canadian man sold a video game he bought his son for Christmas. The reason? He caught his son smoking pot. The man received $9,100 for Guitar Hero III on eBay. But some people have sided with the son. They accuse the father of publicly humiliating him.

"Then, yesterday, I came home from work early and what do I find? My innocent little boy smoking pot in the backyard with two of his delinquent friends."
I love how in this paragraph he calls his son innocent but the friends are the delinquents LOL
IMHO it's the father's house, his rules. The kid is 15 years old, he not only broke the law but I'm sure the father had a rule against the child doing drugs. This may sound harsh, but it seems some parents aren't taking a more active role in their child's life, and they turn into little delinquents, sounds like this guy is teaching his son a very valuable lesson. Maybe you all need to tell this kid the meaning of christmas?
If you don't want dumb answers, don't ask dumb questions

the kid should be thankful thats all his father did cause I have to be honest I would call the cops and tell them I was kicking my son's ass, hang up, and then start kicking his ass.........that way they would get here in time to save him but still give me enough time to get my point across lol

If all that happened was his video game was sold and he was publicly humilated well too freaking bad. I agree with princess, whoop him a good one.

I agree w/ dad. I read the whole article and he was being sarcastic (sp) when he said innocent little boy. He said he was going to get him barbie dancing princess game instead LOL>
Moms of boys work from son up to son down and then they go on line to escape

Not to be a doubting Thomas but I want to see the auction. 9 grand ???? you can go over to Ebay right now and find a couple of hundred Guitar hero 3 packs for around $100-$200. If this is what they are going for I am unwrapping the one under the tree and selling it on Ebay..great way to supplement those college funds.

I have heard similar stories in the past.I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even have A son.All these auctions with "A story" attached all seem to rake in the money.
