Teen throws taco in mother's face over video game dispute
Police say shoving, hitting, name-calling & tacos were involved...
A young Florida man is sitting in jail today following an interesting conflict with his mother on Tuesday.
54-year-old Dena Moir told Volusia County deputy sheriffs that she called her son downstairs for dinner and got no response. So the woman went upstairs to her son's room and unplugged his Xbox, presumably while he was still playing. According to Moir, her son Zachery, 19, then shoved her and called her names before ordering her out of his room.
As she was cleaning the kitchen, her son finally came down to eat. She apparently pushed him aside because he was in her way, and deputies say he reacted by hitting her arm, calling her a "retard," and throwing a taco in her face.
The Deltona delinquent has been charged with domestic violence battery and is currently being held without bail at the Volusia County Branch Jail.

The fact that he isn't looking straight at the camera probably means he's just a scared little brat on the inside who picks on his 54-year-old mother.
The mum shouldn't turn off his console with no warning for such a petty reason. What the hell was she expecting?
The kid shouldn't be an immature idiot who throws tacos in his mum's face.
But all in all, they're just idiots. I don't think the kid caused a big enough crime to warrant jail time. Not unless the pushing and taco-throwing involved his mother getting seriously hurt (which it doesn't sound like it did).
Taco Bell better sponsor this kid QUICK, while the getting is good.
Maybe his mom should have....headed for the boarder! ZING!
This article is so good that neo received three new visitors for it. Haha
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,234178,00.html
so how different between family problems and social problems
dont cha think?
Took the words right out of my mouth. Seems those PS3 muggings happen fairly frequently too, but let's not turn this article into a fanboy fight. The kid's a brat. If he had been playing a PS3 or Wii, wouldn't have happened any differently.
it's the Dad's older boys fear.
I am kinda glad his mom called the cops and had his little tiny self arrested. Seriously, the anal.... er Lessons he gets in jail may teach him a thing or two, like not to be a disrespectful little bitch to the woman who raised you for 19 years, put a roof over your head, clothes on your back, and food in your mouth(or in this case, in her face). Maybe it will teach him that acting like that gets you turned inside out as some guy Named Homer makes you his Marge.
Oh! I got one!
"Normally his mom is the one sticking her taco into people's faces."
But I am getting off topic, hopefully his mom breaks the console and boots his ass out.... If she can hit his tiny ass. Are we sure he is 19? He looks to be about 14.
(Wow I had no idea these news jawns got so many comments)
Still, these types of bratfaced kids piss me off and really need to get some sense beaten into to them the good ol' fashion way.
haha, seriously, kids a brat me thinks
no comment.
Kid:Hey *bleep*.
Mom:...
Kid: *Taco to the Face Biotch*
OMG I FOUND THIS SO FUNNY
And she called the cops!
Perhaps this kid got some as well.
shoving= 3 damage
taco to the face= 22 damage and level up
Mom: i made tacos
*Kid shoves taco in moms face.
Commercial guy: So good u dont even chew it,lol
