HONG KONG (Reuters) - A 13-year-old Hong Kong boy flew into a rage and threatened his parents with a kitchen knife after his father pulled the plug on his computer game, police say.

"The boy's mother told police the boy was thrashing about with a knife. Nobody was charged," a police spokeswoman said on Monday.

The father managed to overpower the boy and no one was injured in the fracas early on Sunday morning, a local newspaper reported.

The father pulled the plug on the game at around midnight when the boy refused to stop playing and go to bed.

I can't believe no one was harmed. If my kid, god forbid I have one, ever did that I would beat him till he was unrecognizable and say he fell down a flight of stairs.
