I apologize for the awful image xD
A 14 year old boy from Russia beat his Dad to death while he was sleeping, after he was banned from playing video games. His keyboard was removed by his parents after he'd been playing on his computer for a week. After seeing what the boy had done, his mother gave him back the keyboard, and he played games for several more hours until he fell asleep. At this point, the mother phoned the police. In Russia, he can be charged for murder, despite his young age.
Yes, it's another 'gaming goes horribly wrong' incident, but you can't deny they're becoming more frequent. What I find the worst is how he CONTINUED to game, even after bludgeoning his own father to death, the mother must've been scared to death.

To and fro the island.
This is an issue that does need to be addressed in modern day society, something I do think that is becoming more and more frequent, and is an indication that human-reliance on technology has grown far too much, and is quickly becoming a part of children worldwide.
Ten years ago, chances of a child doing something like this was much lower than it is now, because most children weren't glued to their televisions or gaming devices at that time, and were enjoying the outdoors or playing with their action-figures. Certainly there were still some young-children who were fully technology reliant, but all the same it has definitely increased over the last decade.
Though it is likely too late of anything to change, I do think the human race is in need of a moral check, in which we have to realize technology is not the basic unit of survival, though it is becoming the primary source of information keeping and communication.
Lets hope that in the future, parents instill better knowledge into their children, so that in the event of something like this, the parents do not have to worry about their son or daughter attempting to murder them.
Thanks for posting this up, Caspa.

Do a barrel roll!
Wow, thats so said he probebly doesn't even realise the repercussions of his actions. It's why kids should be kept of certian game's 
he probley played manhunt at age 10 and thought it was within the boundrie's of reality and that he would return to life upon awakening. I do feel bad for the mom though.

Not cool,even if you are joking...
I'm not surprised the mother gave him his keyboard back, I would be shitting myself aswell if I were her, but she could've at least tried SOMETHING?
I think that kids under 14 should not be allowed to play any games consoles. It would definitely stop this 'stupid child craze' thing, but I doubt this would happen anyway. I feel sorry for the dad, what a way to go
Thanks for posting Caspa.

I hate my dad and get angry when I get punished, but damn. I would never resort to murder. And then it's the fact that he played video games after he murdered his Dad, dang, but here too in the US you can be charged for murder even at 14. I believe the youngest age you can't be charged for a crime is 7 unless you are a repeat offender or you show no remorse.

Thats quite a big stereotype you've got there for children. In most cases like this Gaming isnt the only reason for something like this. Their background often has a lot to do with it. Using the word "children" stereotypes all children as psychotic gaming murderers which isnt true at all. I think the problem is not gaming but parents becoming too lenient with their children. The fact that they allowed him to play it for days before they did anything is ridiculous.
