Would you spank your kid if your kid was up out of bed in night when not supposed to be and turn on his video game system and it woke you ?

I would immediately take all of the kid's electronics away.

Yes- but just a swat or two across the butt. Nothing more than that. And then I'd take away the electronics until the child was older. He's too young to be spending time playing video games anyway. He needs to be outside and getting fresh air and exercise, not sitting on his rear end in front of a TV all day. Sitting for long periods is just as dangerous as smoking a pack of cigarettes every day, you know. It puts him at risk for heart disease and obesity, not to mention cancer.

My video games were on mute late at night when people are sleeping. What kind of idiot kids so you have?

You are the parent. Take the video gaming system away until he or she learns not to do this. Believe me, faced with the permanent loss of the video games your child will change this behavior immediately. Spanking NEVER works btw. It just reinforces the fact that you don't understand how to properly parent.

I would disconnect the system.
