Kid Calls 911 On Mom Over Unjust Bedtime

This sounds like a brat that wanted to get his way! Hummmm, I bet it didn't work! That's what's wrong with our kids today! They want no discipline, so he thought calling 911 would get him out of going to bed. GO TO BED ALREADY!

Unless it wasn't a school night, 8 PM is a good time for a 10 year old to head to bed. He's still growing and needs his rest. I didn't get a 9 PM bedtime until I was 14 or 15. I didn't have to go to sleep, I just had to be in my room and in bed at the appointed time. If I wanted to, I could read before drifting off to sleep.

If I'd had kids, I'd do the same as my parents did for me.

My daughter did some thing like this when she was 5. I gave her a crash course on the use of 911.

My boys are going on 11 and 13 in the next 2 months and 7 is normal bedtime. If they have trouble waking in the morning, I have put them to bed as early as 6. I should also note that they are both very active, intelligent and get great marks in school. Perhaps there is something to the saying, "Early to bed, early to rise…."

Who is this reporrter to say what time is reasonable for a child to go to bed. Do they know what time this boy had to be up in the morning. Bedtime at 8 doesn't mean he is going to be asleep at 8 and if he has to get up at 6 or around then won't that be a reasonable time to get your child to their bed so they can get settled in and asleep.

7 is really early! Do they actually go to sleep or just to their rooms? My kids go to bed at 10, and yes that is too late. But to much earlier and they won't see their dad, who gets home very late. Want to try moving it down to 9, but I don't think that is gonna work:?

Usually Kieran is first to fall asleep…about 7:15. Liam sometimes lays until 7:30 but K gets up a whole hour before Li. Any less sleep and they are monstrously grumpy the next day. On the weekend if we let them stay up later, K will sleep a minimum of 12 hours and Li will still wake with the sun, no matter what time he goes to bed.

It's true my boy is going to be 10 goes to bed at 8 every night.. And doing great in school

fine the parents. a lady just got arrested for doing the same thing. Let the brat of easy..nope.

My kids is 10 and goes to bed at 8:30. I send my 15 yr old to bed at 9!

The ADULT knows better and she was a drunken idiot. The CHILD was a brat and is still learning right from wrong.

The kid is a bit spoiled but despite that I still find this funny.

I went to bed really late as a preteen and teenager. It wasn't until I was older did I realize the effects of that and regretted not having a bed time. I think maybe 8.30 in pajamas and bed, lights out by 9. But I guess it depends on the lifestyle. Like, if the kid has a test tomorrow then lots of sleep that night would be the best thing.

man this kid would hate me then I have both my 18m and 8 yr old in bed no later then 7:30 with exceptions to weekends and school breaks for my 8 yr old but he is also up by 6/6:30 every morning no matter what time he goes to bed.

Hold everyone to the same standards. no if's an's or but's. PERIOD

As a teacher, I must say 8pm is too early for a 10 year old. When they get to school they are overtired, and their body goes back into sleep mode. I dealt with 2 such children for months. When I told the mothers this 1 changed her son's bedtime to 9:30. He now is doing much better, and the parents are happy. The other one refused, and he sleeps through most of my lessons.

Each child is different. Watch their sleep patterns for about a week. If they get up easily, and are active in about 10 minutes, let them stay up longer, if not put them to bed earlier.

My kids go to bed at 8 but don't go to sleep til 9. People you know your kids. Just keep doing what is best for them.

Exactly!

Who said that this person was a reporter? Most "reporters" on the internet have never stepped foot into a journalism classroom. Sad, but it explains why new reporting has gone down the drain over the last 15 years.

Really CJM? So a 2 year old should be held at the same standards too? Idiot….

Kimberly Ragno- off topic, but so funny, I have a son Liam and nearly names my second Kieran… neat coincidence.

beat them it works .

I thought you were suppose to report news? I don't think it is any of your business what time the kids go to bed. How would you like it if somebody told you how to raise your kids?

I always went to sleep late growing up (absentee parents) and I think that is the reason why I am short.
