Kids have been running away from home, sometimes with tragic consequences, for as long as there have been children and parents. I think it's a bit silly to single out the Xbox as the culprit. It may have been the symptomatic cause in this specific case, but it could just as easily have been anything else.

He'd be conflicted...
Microsoft's Xbox obviously killed the boy, but Microsoft donated money to help find him.
Or he'd just spin it as a 50,000 dollar coverup.

Let this be a lesson to you all to be watchful of the emoplosion of your children. It can have fatal consequences.
This tragedy totally wouldn't have happened if his parents had bee gay-ly married., eh gbaji?
MANDATE GAY MARRIAGE is the obvious solution.

That's just stupid. Mourning his loss because he could have been something great. He could have just as easily grown up to be the first carrier and spreader of a mutated super virus, leading to the downfall of mankind.
The world feels nothing because of this single child's death. Thousands of others just like him die each day. The only difference here is that his stupidity is publicized for the lulz.

What can i say i think a little more postive then you do.
Assuming that the savior of the world is now dead over a video game is hardly positive thinking.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Shit. I forgot my post count isn't in the thousands so I'm not allowed to make sarcastic posts yet.
He obviously didn't have stopping power on his shotgun.
Sorry, that was uncalled for.

I say, chaps, you;re being a bit cold here. This topic concerns the tragic death of a poor boy who made a single silly mistake and you lot are making corny jokes about it. If his parents had only heeded their call of duty better, then they might have prevented this poor child's death.
We limit Jr.'s gaming/TV time to an hour and a half on school days, and take his systems/TV away every time he gets grounded. It's important to us that he do something other than play video games or watch TV.
While being a teenager limits his ability to accurately gauge consequences, to run away because of a video game is either pathological or petulant. While I grieve for the parents' loss, this child brought this upon himself.

The world is cold. As was said, this kid's death is no loss to the world at large, and is actually probably beneficial to it. And besides, without the corny jokes, this thread would just be dull and boring. I have no sympathy for the kid or his parents and no, it's not a sad tragic loss.

Love of winter? Unnatural attraction to corn?

Motivation, yes. Reason...not so much.
