KINGSTON, Wash., Jan. 7 (UPI) -- A 13-year-old Kingston, Wash., boy allegedly bit and kicked his 46-year-old father in the groin over an iPod, with his mother allegedly joining the fray.

Kitsap County deputies were called to the house where the father said that his son had become impatient because he wanted to use the computer to load songs on to his iPod, but was not allowed, the Kitsap (Wash.) Sun reported Monday.

After taking the iPod away from the boy, the father said, he was bitten on the finger and kicked in the groin.

As they struggled, the 44-year-old wife and mother appeared and punched her husband in the face several times before leaving with the son, the father alleged.

The father told deputies she had a history of mental illness and had attempted suicide in the past.

The woman was later arrested and booked into the Kitsap County jail for fourth-degree assault.

A report of the son's involvement in the fight was forwarded to the Kitsap County Prosecuting Attorney's juvenile division office.
