Drunken woman stabbed boy, 13, in row over Xbox

According to reports, a 55 year old woman has been found guilty of stabbing a 13 year old boy after he refused to stop playing Xbox.

[Mista T]

it's ironic how old folks complain about violence in video games but react WITH violence to it

[Bungie]

couldn't she just unplug it

crazy women

[mrv321]

I agree... kinda messed up if you ask me.

[Hellsvacancy]

Bungie, if she had of done that he probably would of stabbed her

[wxer]

wow
that women is f*cked up in the head real bad

[TheBand1t]

This really isn't a joking matter. :/

[Noctis Aftermath]

@chubear: unless you were being sarcastic, you are an idiot, there is NO excuse for stabbing a 13 year old kid unless of courses he is trying to kill you(which you can probably easily avoid without stabbing anyway), he deserved a good kick up the bum and xbox taken off him not a knife to the gut.

The mother obviously has her own issues, and her parenting skills are without doubt very poor.

[Rocket Sauce]

Wow...what part of the media can I blame her crazy outburst on?

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

HURR DURRR

There's obviously something wrong with that family if the woman bloody stabbed her son over a video game.

Retard journalists..

Edit:

Chubear, I'm probably one of the worst kids when it comes to my parents ,yet my parents and I do not react in a violent matter. Sure there is some screaming that goes on, however nothing ever results in stabbing.
If that's how you think it should be..please don't reproduce.

[Rock Bottom]

Ok! that was bad, I just couldn't resist. :(

[Chubear]

So, you think this just happened on the spur of the moment? This kid was likely very much like you and your parents right now. Constant shouting and verbal abuses back and forth and one day the parent had enough.

The thing you teens forget is your parents are human too and were your age too at one point. They had dreams and aspirations which they had to put on hold (or they just vanished) to take care of you or/and your siblings and what they get is back talk from a kid who wouldn't last 1 week on their own in the real world. They work and scarifice for you and you think it's no biggy to diss them uh? You don't think they could take that personal uh? ok.

You go ahead and keep pushing your parents but don't be surprised if they snap on your ass one day and show you they were on this planet long before you were and have seen a thing or two more than you in your little existence.

If you ever push your parents too far and they go rabid militant on your butt, do me a favor, remember the name CHUBEAR saying "I told you so" :)

Moral of the story: Listen to your parents and show them respect... or else this may just be YOU on the news channel Muhahahahahaha! XD.

[pixelsword]

and once again blame videogames.

[GameGambits]

She just couldn't stand that all he did was Javelin Glitch in MW2 against her. :O

[cyberwaffles]

uh oh, somebody tried to kill/injure someone with a knife. i guess we should all approve knife control, right?

[Arnon]

Chubear, did you do something like this? The fact that you even support this mother for stabbing her child in the stomach shows there's something wrong with your mentality.

Parents KNOW what happens when they have kids and know the consequences about bearing children. If you're not mentally stable enough to the point where you stab your own child, then you shouldn't be having children in the first place. EVERY TEENAGER goes through issues with their parents. I did, and I'm still quite alive to this day. I would talk back, and honestly I felt that I was not a very good person to them, but they would never even think about taking a knife and jamming into my stomach.

"Constant shouting and verbal abuses back and forth and one day the parent had enough."

Do you live in some third world country where stabbing your children is normal, thus you respond to this in a manner which provokes others into believing you've done this sort of thing yourself?

"She had denied assaulting the boy to the danger of his life and claimed that he had inflicted the wound himself in an attempt to get her into trouble."

^^^

The fact that you're even on the mother's side after she says things like this which blatantly shows that she is an unfit mother makes me hope that you never bear children of your own, let alone raise them.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

@Chubear

My parents wouldn't do that. I've done some pretty messed up sht before and they still haven't reacted like that.

Though, my parents wouldn't be able to react in a way. They're too old.

Oh and chubear, the parents are nuts. One thing, you sound like one of those 80 year old morons who think all teenagers are psychopaths ready to kill their parents and respect no one. Not true.

Two, the kid is 13. Fcking 13 years old. He's not even a full blown teenager yet, the worst he could have done in his life is just that, saying NO I dont want to stop playing video games. So it's obviously not the problem you think you know about.

The mother obviously has issues of her own, which we shall hear about soon.

[AuToFiRE]

makes you wonder, is the video games that cause violence or the parents, my bet is on the parents, if you are brought up in violent surroundings, you are more prone to violence yourself, but in a strange twist video games can also relieve the stress and make you feel better when you are angry, this is one reason why older people without the knowledge and willpower to learn to enjoy video games will always believe they cause violence when in fact its the parents themselves, using videogames as a scapegoat because they just dont understand it and they are too immature to admit it. Must be time to write another blog post..

And on a side note... WHERES JACK THOMPSON NOW?!

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Hell with this kid.

He was 13 and didn't listen to the adult in charge. Regardless of whether you agree with her judgment, he didn't listen. Likely he was reprimanded, and he was smacked upside the head for it. Good...I don't care if she's drunk. I'm 36 years old and still get smacked upside the head. You obey your elders until you're an adult. Then...well you choose your battles.

But this little punk fights back. Now most of us are guys, but some teens - even 13 year olds - are threatening to a woman, especially an older woman. You got a kid who is willing to hurt you. You might grab a knife to defend yourself, especially a boy who is not your son.

I say this because my niece's mom is nearly 60 years old. She looks after her 15 year old autistic grand son. There's been times she has told my mother how she's been frightened at what he can do. I'm not saying this kid is autistic, but he obviously has some mental/social issues to want to fight a grown woman.

The woman is guilty though...100%, just for the fact the kid got stabbed by her drunk arse. She should have called a cop or a grown man to "settle" the boy down.

[Arnon]

All she had to do was unplug it. There's a few things you're missing here.

1. She was drunk.

2. She obviously already had a knife on her, expecting to stab him, MEANING she expected to start a fight with him in the first place.

3. This is not even her son. She has no right whatsoever touching him. She either takes the console away, or she calls his parents or a higher authority. THAT IS IT. The fact that she even hit him over the head was a step too far.

If I had a child that was in the care of someone else, and came to realize that he was being physically disciplined at the age of 13, I would knock whoever was hitting him out in a heartbeat, and then I would proceed to punish my child, but that woman has absolutely NO RIGHT touching him.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

1 He can plug it back in.
2 Having a weapon isn't intent.
3 But was she responsible? If so, let her discipline him.
4 Please don't make my post an excuse for her. Read my last sentence, and recognize the kid is a punk who probably had it coming.

[cereal_killa]

OMG PP was stabbed wow that's just sad.

[cmrbe]

PP been gone for a while. Lets wait and see which bot won't show up from now on.

[Bungie]

this kind of stuff doesn't happened with ps3 only owners coz they got no games they just watch movies

[Anorexorcist]

I think Bungie got a little offended that one of his fellow Xbot Butt-Buddies got stabbed.

LOL, No games? Just Movies? A movie doesn't win GOTY you sad little idiot.

When HD-DVD was still relevant you didn't think then that it was such a bad thing to watch movies on your gaming console, now did you?

[cmrbe]

It won't happen to PS3 owners because they are the adults, not the kids.

[chrisulloa]

I don't know crmbe, if we stereotyped PS3 owners based on you guys here, I'd say the average age of a droid was about 6 years old.

[ukilnme]

@ chrisulloa

LMAO. I have to agree with that.

Edit:

I also suspect that most of the adult droids live in their mom's basement and only come out to get a fresh bottle of lotion.

[cmrbe]

Its simple really. Some of us are just playing with you kids and some of us that are serious have to come down to your level in order for you kids to understand. Understand now?. Take Bungie for example. So easy.

[commodore64]

omg, a drunken woman stabbed an xbot kid?

Was it Ultimolu?
I know she likes to have a meltdown now and then, but this is ridiculous!

Ultimooooollluuu?

Say it ain't so, baby!
I will miss you terribly if you go to jail...
:(

[Obama]

"I don't know crmbe, if we stereotyped PS3 owners based on you guys here, I'd say the average age of a droid was about 6 years old."

If that's true that's pretty sad since you are not smarter than a 6 years old.

[rohail88]

owned hard by obama! good job mr.president!

[chrisulloa]

The president doesn't seem know what a comma is.

[Arnon]

"It won't happen to PS3 owners because they are the adults, not the kids."

So you're saying that PS3 owners are classified as psychopaths that stab their children? Man, that makes me feel that the last thing you'd want to be is a PS3 fan.

Sorry, it was just worded so perfectly :x

[xcox]

"So you're saying that PS3 owners are classified as psychopaths that stab their children? "

your logic is fubar, even for a 6yo

lol

[Obama]

"The president doesn't seem know what a comma is. "

You are the one to talk when you got comma splices in your sentences.

"I don't know crmbe, if we stereotyped PS3 owners based on you guys here, I'd say the average age of a droid was about 6 years old."

[Arnon]

Don't worry. I'm a PC fan if anything.

[Drake64]

lols see xbox is bad for you

[Elven6]

Did you happen to miss the part about the Alcohol? Or even in the title "Drunken women"?

[Syaz1]

a case where fanboyism can be applied. but not suprising, fanboys lack brains.

[Tyler_XMB]

That's just crazy. She had to be really drunk to do that.

[Noah]

what happen to some good old fashion spanking, A whip or two of the belt and I thing he would've stop playing.

[TheBand1t]

My mother used a hickory switch. Ouch.

[Two-Face]

My mother slapped me to the moment I was lying on the ground... then she pulled my ear to the moment I was standing, then she continued to slap me.

[mfwahwah]

Yeah, unplug the Xbox and whip the kid with the power cord. That totally sounds like the right thing to do.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

...a quick wooden ruler to the feet for about 30 seconds each and you won't be walking on them for about ten minutes. That was up until I was about 8. Thanks Mom!

[deshon09]

that crazy

[Xtremist]

.

[chidori666]

only tards mothers of xbox owners make this..

[ChrisW]

Make this... what!?! Come on now, finish your sentence! Don't leave us hanging!

[UltimateSin]

They say the children are violent. That stick and a hoop may seem harmless but they can create KILLERS!!!!

[Anorexorcist]

All the regulation groups and activist groups centered in Washington DC complain how videogames have the biggest tendency to influence violence and disarray upon kids. Well this story just goes to show their blind, ignorant a$$es that if a kid grows up to be a criminal or mentally unstable, it was the fault of the parents and not some piece of software.

[clarkjudo]

Violent video games + Violent Crazed Parents = A criminal or mentally unstable child/adult. Just like substance abuse. Violent video games can be an "additive" to fuel an angry child/adult to do violent acts.

[clarkjudo]

Sad but true, angry-stressed single parent to raise an angry-rebellious child. Is rather common these days. Anytime substance abuse is mixed to deaden the "inner pain". More "pain" arises to cause a near death or death to oneself or others.

Prayers and honor to those single parents out there.

[rezenu]

She could have disconnected the thing instead of stabbing him...

[oli]

thats just waaaay too far, all she had to do was unplug it, yell her command at him , and if it didnt work, bring out the studded belt........ but dnt stab him just b cuz hes playin a console that will die on 'em :(
@chubear wtf does emo gotta do w this?? do the n4g community a favor and STFU w ur stereotype bullshitt!!

[creeping judas]

The worst parent of 2010 award goes to !!!!

wow it's a tie with Stabbing mom and John and Kate !!!!

on topic.

Kid's are a product of their environment. I feel sad for this kid, as I don't think with parenting like this he has chance.

[bjornbear]

stupid effing woman, she should be jailed, and the kid should have a stab at her too just to get even (nothing mortal here, just vendetta xD)

[RockmanII7]

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

[Oldsnake007]

you played to much COD

[KnightOfAlbion]

Well I guess he eventually stopped didn't he...

[red2tango]

its always about xbox

[ukilnme]

Indeed it is. Everybody wants to play 360.

[i3eyond the Circle]

Wouldn't be surprised.

I was on LiVE with this guy who commands his mother.

"Mom make me some fuking Kool Aid!" had me laughing for days.

[Syaz1]

kids these days are getting more rotten than i thought.

[RockmanII7]

http://video.google.com/vid...

[Death The Kid]

...Wow, talk about over-reacting, just slap the kid for gods sakes.

[Tormento]

threatened with knife but still didnt turn it off what a dedicated gamer bravo kid

[Xdrari]

This can't be true, maybe she tried to scare him off by imitating a lunging motion and since she was drunk and they were fighting she accidently hit him.

The boy could have lied about that part.

[mfwahwah]

But the fact of the matter is that a KNIFE was wielded. A KNIFE. A tool that can stab and slice and kill.

[Mc187]

How is a Scottish person being drunk news?

[DexterPsycho]

The young people like me get blamed for re-creating violence from video games,

Yet its people of 55 who stab children of playing computer games, next time 18 rated games are bashed for its affecting children just looks whats happening to the supposed mature generation pathetic.

[Tricksy]

the mother was mad because her kid hadn't excepted that the Xbox is DOOMED and mopved to PS3 yet. /s

As she is stabing; "Xbox has no games!" /s

Edit: *moved

[ikkeweer]

Sorry, but news like this, I don't care about on a gaming site, because it has nothing to do with gaming.
If it's a gaming addiction, great, still has nothing to do with gaming except it can be addictive. Well, guess what, everything fun can be addictive.
I cannot cry over every death i read, sorry, it would ruin every kill I make in a game.

[bozebo]

well stated. Infact 90% of the articles on this site are inferior in quality or content. Or simply posted to get hits on some rubbish amateur site (not even one of those good amateur ones...).

However ones like this provide good discussion

[LOLatURDUMBAZZ]

How the hell did she get off.

[Senden]

WHAT THE HELL??? This lady STABS a minor and only gets 300 hours community service.. does the word justice have any meaning anymore? You know the sad thing.. this sort of thing is so common place in the UK.. community service for crimes which deserve jail time... i'm glad I don't live in Scotland that's for sure if this is what you get for stabbing someone.. only word I can use to describe it is "pathetic".

Anyway on a less serious note.. this kid was probably one of those annoying smacktalking poofs on halo.. if in which case, the old lady just done what we have all dreamt off.. kicking the crap out of that annoying squeaky kid who never shuts up over xbl.. a real Scottish hero!

[madjedi]

300 hrs for either attempted murder or assault with a deadly weapon, wow that's a broken justice system if that is the norm in scotland, actually most people would be happy with a good slap across the face or one good punch to shut the person up.

Most people don't need to channel a jack the ripper mentality, to express the frustration, yet if the 13 year old had stabbed the 55 yr old i am certain he would be crucified compared to her slap on the wrist.

[bozebo]

True... though the crime levels here in Scotland are quite low. EG I live in one of the top 10 most burgalled postcodes in the country and none of our neighbours nor us have had any experience of it. Well that could be due to postcode statistics being too generalised... not sure why they are trusted for insurance and the likes in that case, but that is another discussion altogether.

[RamiHixxy]

Congratulation Xbox 360
you deserve it
Welldone

Xbox 360 - Jump in..... and get stabbed

[kewlkat007]

Kid as long as your home work is done then play games all you want. You know that.

[PrinceJohnny]

Haven't we all heard that from our parents before?

^^...

Yup, don't jump into politics now.

[DigitalAnalog]

I'm still WAITING for this in Fox News OR CNN.......

-End Statement

[RamiHixxy]

Why buy your son a Xbox 360 - when the mother likes the PS3? ;)

[JJFNIGHTS80]

WTF IS GOING ON WITH PEOPLE AND GAMES TODAY MAN?!

[pustulio]

Now everybody is going to say it's videogame's fault, that crazy b!tch was drunk.

Also please stop the retared comments like "It's because it was an xbox!1!one!!eleven!1!", "lol that happens with the xbox owners!!1!!",Etc...

Poor kid.

[Rixynator]

another stupid american story

[Platinum_k]

talk about addiction and stupid parents getting drunk

[Platinum_k]

i shouldve known...

just proves M$ only attracts ignorant kids to buy their product

BOOM!

PS and drunken moms!

[FAT MAN GO BOOM]

That's like one of the older Xbox players to eh...

I jest... cause the situation is just so sad... at least he will be taken away I hope....

[Justin_bristoe]

she ain't having that sht. she knows those 360 can cause nuclear fallout ofter 4 months

[FreeWillow15]

Now I'm Afraid To Play My Games D:

[PrinceJohnny]

Im highly upset, Master Chief couldn't protect the boy from a b*tch like that.

[liquidus118]

Who's betting that it's the 'boy refusing to come off xbox' part that will be the blame for all of this and not the 'drunk woman'?

[lonix]

He said he got RROD and she thought that meant she had to fork out for a new console again

[bozebo]

"DRUNKEN women..."

This has nothing to do with computer games.

[Smootherkuzz]

My mother and dad would have sent me to meet the all mighty, they did not play when it came to respect and who was the parent and who was the child and thats how it should be. Now you can't do or say anything to your children, they don't know how hard it is to feed, nurse them to good health, keep warm an cool, keep the electric on so they have light at nite and can play games on TV or even help to get them though school so they can have a better life, some kids just do not get it, some will when they have to do it own their own, and some will not ever get it.

[frankymv]

White trash at its best

[cleanhealthy12]

god damm, thats been annoying me all over this page
