Frusturated with video game, teen kills baby sister

[ROFLBRYCE]

Investigators are now building their case against a boy, 13, arrested in connection with the death of his 9-month-old baby sister.

Officers were called to a metro hospital on Aug. 16 after doctors said the baby's injuries were not consistent with an explanation given by the girl's parents.

Court documents indicated the child was treated at Children's Hospital for a severe brain injury and skull fracture.

Here's the full story, with all the details (http://www.koco.com/news/28941152/detail.html)


Sickens me to see things like this happening more and more at a quicker rate each time too, it seems like.

Why would the parents leave the baby alone with him?

Horrible. Terrible.

Horrible. Terrible.

Probably for babysitting reasons. I was 13 being left in charge of 3 and 4 year olds to babysit. Parents mighta been out doing something when this happened, but of course had no idea of what happened or the damages until..well the end, I suppose is how to put it. Bad that this happened in any case.

There is a big difference between a 9 month old and a 3-4 year old.

News report says that they were at work. That's even worse. They leave the baby with this kid all day long.

I agree with Linux there is a huge difference, + 13yrs difference is alot. Compared to 10-9yrs. The parents should have never let the boy alone to take care of the baby ... cause after all, he won't take care of her. He's still a young boy no 13yrs your a grown boy bull****. It's all about how well you know your kid, and it all comes down to maturity. Bad parenting, the parents should go to jail as well.

^ I wouldn't say age is the problem here, most 13 y/o know damn well how to treat an infant, or at least how not to treat one.. This kid just has something seriously wrong with him.

[Exentenzed]

I agree with synge on this one.

I mean come on, "The character i was playing in my game got killed because i had to check on my sister." and that was supposed to be a good reason to become frustrated enough to shake a baby?

Most 13 year old's aint that screwed up.

[Psychotray]

I can understand screaming into a pillow, or throwing the controller at the ground. But shaking a baby?, that's just plain stupid. This guy is a ******ing d**khead and it upsets because babies have a whole life ahead of them. I would never have the guts to lay a hand on a baby, its just plain slack, seriously :/

This. I dunno if it's run differently state to state, but here there's an actual certified baby-sitting program you can go into, minimum requirement is that you're 12 years old. And through this you get a "baby-sitting license". It's pretty much fake, but shows you know how to treat kids right, and you know how to act in different situations by having the thing.

I don't see the issue with a 13 year old watching an infant, if it's a sibling, but..if you know your kids flies off the handle, and is playing games and crap all the time, don't leave him in charge of your toddler. That's just wrong.

This Sickens me, the whole "I lost because I needed to check on my sister" Crap is absolute Bull, doesn't he know how to Pause a game? if not then he certainly isn't Intelligent enough to care for an infant... Children these days -.-

[Mizel]

Wow, thats just ridiculous and terrible. Boggles my mind....

[mutilations]

Bad parenting. End of story. They should blame the human element before the game even comes into the picture.

[paecmaker]

the parents did wrong, a 13 year old isnt mature enough to take care of a baby a WHOLE DAY!!!

And the thing about dangerous video games will bloss up once again, and I wonder what game he played cause he was only 13?


all in all I think its very sad. :(

[Mizel]

The lack of common sense people seem to have never ceases to amaze me...

[XnewxskinX]

This is sad, and why children need to play outside and not sit in front of the tv all the time.

[BlackEyedJester]

It's obviously the Parents fault, depending on what the game was it could either help or hinder their case, but still you don't leave a 13yo to care for an infant for more then an hour

[Mizel]

This is sad, and why children need to play outside and not sit in front of the tv all the time.

I dunno, I spent at least 85% of my childhood playing video games and I never had the urge to kill anyone over a game :P Def something mentally wrong with that kid that was overlooked.

[BlackEyedJester]

I agree something is definitely wrong with that kid, I'm not the sanest person around but that's horrible that he did it to a infant tsk tsk
