it makes for a light hearted news story now, yes.

This kid will have a lifetime of chuckles and snorts about the weekend a robot attacked his mom and the police saved her. Said lifetime might be rather short if his mother decides to beat him over the head with the damn thing. Still, good for you kid you silly lazy goof.
