Oh, come on... Like that's gonna make his son see the "error of his ways."

I'm serious. I don't approve of kids smoking dope or of parents turning a blind eye, but there is such a thing as proportional response. Taking away the game is more likely to piss the kid off, thereby prompting him to rebel even more, than anything else.

I would have kept the game, but made it conditional on completing some sort of drug education program. Now the kid's got no reason to stop doing whatever the heck he wants.

Well, I would say that his son would be a bit traumatized. But according to the eBay site, his son did have a choice to end the auction the day prior to the end of the auction.

I think taking the game away is a proper response to his actions It's a decent punishment.
