Teen Kills Dad Over Game - The UpStream

Last week, in the Russian town of Tuapse, a 14-year-old boy killed his father because he wasn't allowed to play his videogame. As any normal American parent would do, the easy punishment for whatever the boy had done was to take away the game. Here we probably would have lost a controller or the power cord for the 360, there the father took away the computer keyboard. Then he went to sleep.

While the man slept, the boy walked into the bedroom and hit his father in the head with a sledgehammer, killing him instantly. His mother, presumably fearing for her life, returned the keyboard to the boy. This is where the story actually gets really crazy. The boy returned to the computer and played his game for a few hours, all while his father is lying dead in the bed.

Finally the boy went to sleep and the mother called the police, who came and arrested the boy. He is being charged with murder, of course, and will probably be spending a long time in a small room not playing videogames.
