Serious mental instability, no shit? The parents probably knew that and did nothing unless they are not really "parents."

Wipe out the human race huh? Why do you even live?
What's your solution, Judge Judy? world peace?
 
"A tragic story happened in southern Russia, where a 14-year-old boy killed his father with a sledgehammer."

Was he playing red faction?


 
The kid clearly has the making of a sociopath. I'm not familiar with Russian mental health procedures (they use the ICD-9?), but in the US, the diagnosis for sociopathy is called Antisocial Personality Disorder, or ASPD. The diagnosis does not apply to those under the age of 18--the closest things would be Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD) (the latter is a requisite for being diagnosed with ASPD later in life).

The kid had no remorse for killing his father, considering that he went back to playing games immediately afterward...
 
Autism how the hell do you get that out of this. The kid probably just doesn't feel anything *can't remember the tech. term*. In which case the parents actually knew, or didn't want to know of it.

Can't blame bad parenting in this case because the story doesn't have all the facts. And you can't blame video games period as it's never their fault there is always an underlying problem. Video game simply maybe the trigger.
 
What video game(s) were so important? I want to say World of Warcraft or some other MMORPG.. but can't know.. feel free to speculate. Too bad this didn't happen in Korea.. that's where the latest shock value tech news seems to come from where the internet is even infused in the toilet paper (sarcasm).

True that. I'm glad people still think like this nowadays.
 
If my parents took my computer away, I'd probably be pretty pissed off, but there's no way I would ever hurt them over it, let alone kill one of them. I agree with other people that he needs a mental hospital rather than prison.

And lol @ "Achievement unlocked?"
 
My son's keyboard is wireless... so it makes it very easy to take away. He was so happy to have such a cool looking "wireless" keyboard, but I had plans to make it easy for me so I wouldn't have to unhook wires. :)

Next step to get around on-screen keyboards (as someone posted), I can password the computer and other restrictions.


I wonder how this kid will PLAY his game while in prison for the next 15~40 years?
 
Did anyone else notice that after this kid killed his father, *he went back to playing video games* How is that emotionally possible?
 
I think the boy programmed hotkeys into it. The dad must have been messing around pushing buttons and inadvertently activated "deadly blow".

lol? really?
 
Oh my god, way to mess things up for everyone.. There is really two ways to take this story, should kids have violent video games, or are violent video games just exacerbating a preexisting psychological problems.

It's a little bit bs, but I can still see this being cited in Australia as an argument against 18+ games, even though the argument for 18+ games is to prevent things like this from occurring.

Just a tragedy really :-(
 
My Mom always do this to me (Getting the keyboard) but I bought my own keyboard and mouse.. just to be ready.
How could he think of doing this!? The kid should goto hell. I am just twelve, and I am very shocked of what the older boy had done to his own father. Like. o-o I cant imagine it.
