TORONTO TEEN ARRESTED AFTER MOM TURNS IN ASSAULT RIFLE WebPosted Thu Jan 5 10:04:25 2006
---A Toronto teenager has been charged with weapons and drug offences after his mother turned in a loaded AK-47 rifle to police.
The suspect's mother said she was shocked when she found the weapon and a magazine filled with bullets on her son's bed in their east-end home on Tuesday evening, the Toronto Sun reports.
After she took the rifle to the police station, officers searched the home for more weapons.
The 17-year-old, who was not home at the time, was arrested later that evening after he returned to the house.
He was charged with 13 offences, including weapons charges and possession of cocaine.
The suspect cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

It takes courage to do this.
Every parent wants to protect their child.
She probably saved his life and many others.
I wonder if the weapon was enabled for full automatic?
I commend her, she sets a fine example, but...
I also feel bad for her. Terrible to lose a son to this crap. It is a sad time in Toronto.
