Here's an odd story from Ohio, published in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. A 28-year-old school board member, who lives with his parents, lashed out after his father told him to "clean his room," leading to the police being called to the house. An excerpt:
It's odd enough that a Bedford father would actually call police after arguing with his son about cleaning his room. Stranger still, the sloppy son is 28 years old and serves on the Bedford school board."I know this looks bad," said school board member Andrew Mizsak, who lives with his parents and works as a political consultant. His mother, Paula, is a Bedford councilwoman.Mizsak's dad, also named Andrew, called 9-1-1 on Thursday after his son threw a plate of food across the kitchen table and balled his fist up at his dad when told to clean his room. The senior Mizsak wouldn't press charges and told police, "I don't want to ruin his political career."
..... According to the report, "Andrew was sent to his room to clean it. He was crying uncontrollably and stated he would comply."
