My mom taught me to aim for the head when it came to my game addiction. I think the only time she ever yelled at me for too much gameing was back when Burning Crusade came out, I killed all forms of social life and stayed up for two days straight grinding all my chars to 70. . . Yeah, I had problems.

Damn, well my dad pretty said when its done, its done. The first and only time I argued with him about it he broke my game boy. So I never question when it was time to stop after that.
Seriously all you white people, if you carry threw with a threat, or just take away there stuff and lock it up. Well then your kids might behave better. Think I am being extreme on it?? This is how my parents worked on me, and I didn't argue cause I KNEW I would lose.
Just Imagine if your kids knew that when they did something wrong that they would lose in the end, chances are they won't do it again

First problem: You are the parent, enforce the law. I don't care if the kid is 14, or whatever, your house is your house. If its lights out, time for bed, get it done. I was resistant as a child, but I also was punished a lot for it. Lack of authority in your own home is unacceptable. I understand that at some point the parents lose a little control with their growing teens, it is to be expected. But if they were parents who did the research before allowing games into the house, or really wanted their rules enforced, as Alex said, there MUST be consequences.
Second Problem: She said she would "never buy that game" for her son. Then why does he have it? Furthermore, why the hell does a child with four siblings need a TV in his bedroom? One in the living room where they can be watched, and shared is perfectly fine. Some friends of ours from years ago, was a family with four boys. Each of which owned their own game systems, televisions, and handheld games as well. Isn't that a little ridiculous? How dare anyone with these sorts of parenting habits ever complain that money is tight. (Not that the family we knew ever did, but I'm just sayin'.)
Bottom line, if the parents money is being spent, they have the final say on what it may be spent on. If the children of these parents live in their parents' house, the parents still have the final word on what is allowed to go on within it. Parents, GROW SOME BALLS, and show your kids you care about them, by whooping their asses! Trust me, its love if you let them know it is.
