What Is Wrong With Some Of Our Youth?

by Jason on December 15, 2008

I’d like to call special attention to a tragic story that unfolded in northern Ohio.  According to the Columbus Dispatch, a child asked his parents to close their eyes and wait for a surprise.  As they did, he shot them both, fatally injuring his mother.

Prosecutors say Daniel Petric was so angry that his father would not allow him to play the video game Halo 3 that he shot his parents, then tried to make it appear to be a murder-suicide.

That story is just too sad for words.  Is this another sign that kids are becoming too desensitized to violence by video games and television?
