Damn, what a bad score.

A child dies as a result of very lose ties to the video game industry. Then a  :censored: sucker like Jack Thompson will get wind of it and use her tragedy as an attempt to leverage another blow to video games. A political maneuvering her death doesn't need.

What gets me about it is the guy who beat her is 26 years old, probably beat her after she stepped in front of the TV during a game session, and the 19 year old mother did nothing to stop the beating. What the ---fudgesicle--- was she doing? Painting her fingernails?

Singapura:
Although off course I see the suggestive connection CNN wants to make by mentioning a "video game controller" there really is no connection between this murder and video games. If she was beaten to death with an waffle iron, would that mean that there's a connection between eating waffles and violence? Even if the videogame was the reason (she stepped in front or whatever) it could have been a game of Pinata  :dunno. Media have their own agenda we as video game enthousiasts shouldn't bite the bait.

very sad........did you guys ever hear a while back about the guy who beat his toddler to death after he tripped over the power cord on the xbox and shut off his game?  Its sad to see what some people to kids, in my opinion i think the worst crimes are doing harm to children (discipline is one thing, beating is another).  I have 3 little ones of my own and i would end the person who would do harm to my kids, i do wonder what the mother was doing while this happend, god forbid if she just stood there and did nothing.

--- End quote ---

It's a matter of degree.  Articulate for me the difference between discipline and beating.  Any adult who will do violence to children is an idiot.  Some are just bigger idiots than others.
