He is high functioning autisic so behavior problems exist quite a bit. His teachers, principal, and others we all had a meeting. The rule is he has red days, (not good) yellow,(borderline)green which (a good day). Red he gets nothing but books to read, yellow a few other things, board games, green, his computer, Wii, and his other favorite things.  He had only a few red days. He comes home in the green everyday. Take a mans toys away, he will straighten his act up! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cindyjunedavis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 1:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[HA! that'll teach that kid to violate the law. and if he tries to moan and groan about his trial, he'll be laughed out of the room when he says what his punishment was.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[darkwolf122490]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2009 6:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[Way to go!

What a waste of judicial time. His parents should do their job and the court should do theirs. If its bad enough for him to even see a judge, I think it takes a bit more than taking away video games. How can anyone agree that this is a good idea? Is he THAT dependent on those games that he'll actually shape up. This disappoints me on so many levels.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thao]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 3:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[What ever happened to a good old fashioned spanking? Why do we have to let our kids go to court and have their wiis took away? All this is going to do is desensitize these children to the huge cosequence of going to court. Courts should be a place that is feared to go ,a place that if you go to you know you royaly screwed up. But no lets give out crap sentences so that when he grows  up you take away his iphone? SPANK the kid don't depend on someone else to raise your kid. It's the parents responsibility. I have 2 boys and i'm not planning on letting someone else teach them the differece in right and wrong. It's NO one elses responsibility!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[asha]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 10:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[There is nothing wrong with a spanking. When my son acted up he got a good smack or two on the ass and was required to say thank you. Now, thirty years later, he's a fireman,we are good friends and he still says thank you. Sometimes we laugh about it when we hang out.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[aasstor1018]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 1:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hon, you can get your hiney thrown in jail, or kids takien away. We live in a different world. So go ahead a beat them, takes a bigger person to discipline a child, without hitting. Try taking what they hold dear to them. A spanking goes away after it stops hurting. Take their stuff! I did and my boy is an angel now, well in comparison, to what he was like. Some people calling it bribs and threats, it is called responibility for your actions.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bettyjunedavis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 1:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hope your children will be able to put together a sentence with the correct spellings after you hit them.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ANNETTE]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 1:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think it's funny the judge confiscated his Wii.  Poor kid now he'll have nothing to do. Ha Ha Cry Me A River.  That's what more judges need to do to straighten these little punk a$$ kids up.  I hope he doesn't get it back.  Kids get too much given to them these days anyway.  It'll be interesting to know if he receives anything for Christmas.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tracis3rugrats]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 7th 2009 12:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree, the parents should have done this instead of wasting a judges time. When my kids were younger, I did this exact same thing.  Their grades were suffering so I took their Nintendo away.  They were to get it back when and ONLY when their grades went up.  This nearly killed them.  However, they never made anything below a B again, and after 2 semisters of GOOD grades they got it back.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TCS]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 10:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[They never below a "B" again.

I didn't say that ALL they got were "B's" however, when they brought their grades UP from C's & D's to A's & B's I was so much happier. Especially since BOTH my sons graduated valendictorian from high school and my oldest just graduated from Tulane University Law School, this past summer, at the TOP of his class. Now, when you can ask a more intellegent question, we'll talk again.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TCS]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 2:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[that was dumb this was not a situation for a judge this was an issue for the parents to tackle]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kerry wenrich]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2009 10:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/11/05/judge-confiscates-boys-wii-will-return-for-good-behavior/</guid><description><![CDATA[Kerry, obviously the parents did not do this or were unwilling to, the kid ended up in court for a reason, and if the parents can't control the did then the courts are left with coming up with a solution.
