A 16-year-old boy in Jambon, Ponorogo, East Java, burned down his family's house after his parents told him he would have to wait until after the Idul Fitri holiday to get a new phone.
Jambon Police chief Adj. Comr. Djoko Winarto confirmed the incident on Saturday, saying the boy was angry because his 50-year-old father, Gumbrek, who works as a farmer, did not immediately buy the phone for him.
