LAKEWOOD, Wash. - A 9-year-old boy who didn't like his suburban Tacoma home grabbed a car, got caught, was returned home to his mother, then ran away again and flew to San Antonio with a plane change in Phoenix before he was arrested, authorities said.

Investigators and Southwest Airlines officials were trying to determine how Semaj Booker, who was trying to get to his grandfather in Texas, made his way through security and onto the airplane.

Last month he also crashed a stolen car before being caught by police in Tacoma, and more recently he was caught in Seattle in a stolen car that had run out of gas, his mother said.

She believes he learned to drive from playing video games on a PlayStation.
I knew those Playstations were going to cause problems somewhere.

difficult to judge if you are serious or not? however if it were me I would blame the mother - broken home situation - financies - and the child.

playstation didn't force the kid to get on a plane or steal a car

Haha, yeah, sort of like how some people claimed the totally unrealistic game Counter-Strike teaches people how to be snipers and is therefore an example of a 'dangerous' game. The people who say that have obviously never fired a sniper rifle. Oh, but I digress....

I decided to check if there were any updates to old news stories I had posted. I found this article from 2010.
