Jerlene Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 People take gaming way to seriously. A Kentucky man punched his 1 month old son after losing a video game and has been charged with murder after his son died due to the blow. The 26 year old father lost his game, threw a controller across his room them proceeded to beat his infant son. After realizing what he had done, he tried to soothe the baby by making him a bottle. Sounds nice, right? But he dropped the baby along the way. Eventually, the baby was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. You can read the whole article here: https://www.newsweek.com/kentucky-man-punched-his-baby-after-losing-video-game-charged-murder-after-1-1417472 It's incredibly sad. Is the line between reality and make believe thinner when it comes to gamers? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Imagine what's gonna happen to him when he's in prison. The ones that commit offenses against children have it a million times worse than other inmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Same, because people can get frustrated with games and scream at them at most. So ysah, no need to blame gaming here.

Aerielle del Rosario Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I think the guy has a mental issue that needs to be addressed, I also don't believe that game would be the only factor for that one... maybe hidden anger towards that person...

Bravosi Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Wow, this is just crazy. I cant believe a game can affect one person like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moony Burbage Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Has nothing to do with bad influence of gaming. Just like most of people, I loose, but don't kill babies. Unstable people hurt others and throw things for any reason, whether it's a game or they heard bad news, or woke up with bad mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I have no idea why some of the people take gaming so serious that they think it's okay to hurt other people. I guess people have to be really careful about being around gamers these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Haha. I think we all are thankful for that part. I think but socializing needs to be done to avoid being into this type of situations. I think one needs to understand that part about adjusting and tolerating people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 What I meant is, Socializing gets us out of the zone that usually solo gamers have. Like solo gamers often tend to assume things about society and they have their own approach to handle it. and that also is one topic that is covered in many gaming addiction rehabs.
