I'm not entirely sure just why this 13 year old allegedly being a father matters... like at all.

I think it's referring to the statement that whether or not he's a father doesn't affect the fact that he is still too mentally immature to play a violent video game.

Mr Brown said: ‘The pair had fall-outs online amounting to name-calling via the messaging system used in the game.’

The accused grabbed the 14-year-old then struck him across the throat with a knife. The victim told paramedics a boy had ‘slit his throat in an argument about Xbox games’. He suffered a wound so deep it exposed his windpipe and required 20 staples following surgery.


Isn't this really due to a personality conflict? Two people got angry with each other and were calling each other names?

Clearly, we must ban all communication between people. Communication is bad, m'kay.

It's the Heil.

There's your answer.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

It would be statutory rape, which is when at least one partner is below the age of consent (not an adult).

What if they both are 13 and both had consensual sex? You might be confusing the UK with the USA. The USA is the nation with the ridiculous fake rape (aka statutory rape) laws. Not sure if other nations have these or not for people 13 and older. In some nations 13 is old enough for a female to get married.

A 95% cut in welfare ought to make sure that irresponsible lazy individuals such as this one aren't allowed to lead idle lives of casual sex, video games and violent consumption of fatty carcinogenic foods while HONEST, HARD-WORKING BRITISH people are forced to pay for their lazy lifestyle blah blah IMMIGRANTS.

Seems you have finally seen the light and realized the problems of a welfare state. Might I suggest "The Bell Curve" which is an excellent book that addresses the problems of welfare and how welfare funds encourage lower IQ individuals to have more babies and gradually make the world a dumber place.

Well, he shouldn't be playing video games as often. Instead, he should be focusing on doing well in school and helping to care for the baby that he fathered if he or his parents have any custody rights and it wasn't just given up for adoption.

Of course, I'm not familiar with the actual laws pertaining to underage parents in the country where this happened; but that is basic responsibility. If you have a kid, they still need to be cared for. I know that he couldn't get employment at 13 but he could still help out in small ways around the house.

Why weren't his parents more involved so that he wouldn't be able to play M rated games, much less engage in reckless behavior like unprotected sex at his age? I think this adolescent is just an asshole through and through.

For what it's worth, the last time the Daily Heil ran a story on a 13 year old dad, it turned out to be false.

Clearly there is something else amiss here other than video games. The majority of people that play video games are fine. It's just that distinction and separation of reality that is the main issue.

Because any 13 year old that is already a biological parent obviously has some other shit going wrong in their life that goes way beyond video games.

With his lack of mental stability, that was clearly obvious.

I actually don't think that's the issue at all. It doesn't sound like he was emulating the video game in any way.
