- terencec, on 01/08/2009, -6/+500Why is GTA mentioned in every single "mishap" done by children these days. The GTA driving model does not even teach you how to "Start a car", never mind steering with an actual wheel (unless that Taurus has a D-Pad for steering)
- OneRottenTomato, on 01/08/2009, -2/+373"Wilkins said the child had an idea about how to start, propel and steer a car from playing video games."
Oh, and not having an idea watching his own mommy and daddy start, propel and steer a car on their own? Ass. Sounds like some weak ***** set up to sue the video game industry. - SniperZero, on 01/08/2009, -3/+358he wanted to goto school ? this kid should be given a medal.
- mlbwebdesign, on 01/08/2009, -2/+318Also, If this kid is 6 and he plays GTA, the parents need a little talking to.
- muffins, on 01/08/2009, -3/+300started the car himself and was able to reach the accelerator? 10 miles? 6 years old?
wat - xcranky, on 01/08/2009, -0/+238"The sheriff said the boy told him that he had trained on video games such as Grand Theft Auto" .... wtf?
- DaDrake, on 01/08/2009, -2/+184The Washington Post video mentioned that this kid learned to pass lanes watching Grand Theft Auto..... and that GTA is a "horrendous" game to play "under the age of 25".
I think we all can agree that 6 years old shouldn't be playing such games.... but really.... appropriate for ages only 25+. You got to be ***** me. - techdever, on 01/08/2009, -1/+155don't let this kid near CoD4 !
- tavallai, on 01/08/2009, -7/+157Any Ford Taurus still roadworthy is a miracle.
- ndirish3017, on 01/08/2009, -2/+143"Briney said another motorist said she was driving 60 mph when the boy zoomed past her."
future ricky bobby - mlbwebdesign, on 01/08/2009, -1/+136I'm going to start a rampage and perform open heart surgery on victims. Maybe they'll blame Grey's Anatomy and take it off the air!
- TVarmy, on 01/08/2009, -0/+130Personally, if I ever have a kid, I'm training him to blame his actions on something society hates before the papers get a chance to blame me for his screw ups.
- Dudemeyster, on 01/08/2009, -13/+135I didn't know schools served breakfast.
- inactive, on 01/08/2009, -0/+122My mom said I can't play GTA until I'm 47.
- UnWeave, on 01/08/2009, -2/+113Did he just say that GTA wasn't suitable for anyone under the age of 25? I think he did.
*****. - JagoRayken, on 01/08/2009, -0/+102If she only bought a Manual/stick shift. then he wouldnt have even left the house.
- uberduger, on 01/08/2009, -0/+83Why not? Judging by his success on this adventure, the globe'll be terrorist-free in a week.
- Renton, on 01/08/2009, -0/+81What the hell video game shows you how to put the keys in the ignition, shift it to drive, and step on the gas? All the racing games I've played just tell you to hold down the A button.
- facespaz, on 01/08/2009, -0/+77We now know this boy as: Steve McQueen.
- eliburford, on 01/08/2009, -0/+69Always have to mention those video games!
- ringfilius, on 01/08/2009, -0/+62If he really plays GTA, surely he'd have pistol whipped his mother and bought some crack
- ryan850, on 01/08/2009, -0/+62All i took from the article is that 40 year old guy has a 26 year old wife.
- Murdats, on 01/08/2009, -0/+61nah, they will blame it on trauma center
- crazyD, on 01/08/2009, -1/+60had he not been disbarred.
- uberduger, on 01/08/2009, -1/+58I'd train him/her to blame the media and politicians. That'd be awesome.
Cop: "Why'd you steal that car, drive it, screw a hooker and then kill her?"
My kid: "It was a protest against the commer- com- commercial interests of our gove- government."
*Pats my well-trained 5 year old kid on the head* - mbfielding, on 01/26/2009, -2/+54Momma, I'm goin' fast!
- TVarmy, on 01/08/2009, -1/+53By "Ford Taurus," they actually meant "Toyota Tercel." Common typo.
- WiretapStudios, on 01/08/2009, -0/+50Uh no, he was just hungry.
- inactive, on 01/08/2009, -1/+50What the *****?
"It's a horrendous game for anyone under the age of 25 to see." - Hindermore, on 01/08/2009, -0/+49I am 24 and I played GTA 4 when my buddy got it. Now I have this urge to go out and start a destruction derby on the highway. If only I were 25 :( Maybe these crazy thoughts will go away in a year.
- Ghorloch, on 01/08/2009, -4/+50A lot of schools now offer a breakfast program to make sure that kids who are being left to get themselves off to school actually get to eat something healthy and filling. I personally make breakfast for my own children, but some people can't or won't, so some caring people came up with this to help the kids.
- detonatR, on 01/08/2009, -6/+51i'm counting the seconds Jack Thompson takes to jump on this
- OLTP, on 01/08/2009, -0/+43Or with 9 months pregnancy, most likely a 33 year old banging a 19 year old.
- uptwolait, on 01/08/2009, -1/+436 year old kid. Do the math. This guy was 34 and banging a 20 year old.
WIN! - byp494, on 01/08/2009, -5/+43All I can say is that thank God the parents in one of these situation were finally arrested.
How do you A) Let you 6 year old play GTA? and B) Leave a 6 year old kid alone long enough for them to get the keys to your car and take it for a joy ride? You have to watch your kids people. - TVarmy, on 01/08/2009, -1/+39Well, if this logic is to be accepted in major newspapers, I propose suing Namco for getting us in the habit of overeating. Pac Man was a poor role model for children. Plus, look at the rise of Pac Man Fever and obesity over time. A rather shocking co-morbidity.
- ChonoonFiend, on 01/08/2009, -1/+36Me thinks the school was having bacon day.
- grow, on 01/08/2009, -2/+37Of course he does, he's not a woman.
- emland, on 01/08/2009, -1/+36I bought my 18 yo son GTA for Christmas. I am evil. :sigh:
- aralls, on 01/08/2009, -8/+41how is this a miracle again?
- OneRottenTomato, on 01/08/2009, -1/+31Its probably better than the slop he was, or was not, getting at home if he was that desperate.
- Bbanda, on 01/08/2009, -1/+29My thoughts exactly, far to often am I playing something rated mature (17+ mind you) on xbox live and I'm getting an ear full from a 5-12 year old. Personally I don't thing there is any game on live thats appropriate for any child under the age of 13, forget about 6 year olds. That and they're all easy kills it takes the fun away from it, and believe you me I'm not going to stop swearing in a mature environment because some ***** let his kid play.
- Al3x, on 01/08/2009, -1/+29I just graduated COLLEGE and have a JOB and I'm still not allowed to play GTA
- EtherealSOC, on 01/08/2009, -3/+30a little talking to or a big beat down...
- ltcol266845, on 01/08/2009, -0/+27Especially when he respawns in the middle of an air strike.
- ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -0/+26My name is James Tiberius Kirk!
- Endomlik, on 01/08/2009, -2/+27Come on now... we assume too much. Maybe she works late night job. Plenty of parents work opposite shifts to curb the cost of child care. When I was 5 years old I used to run around town but I had to be back before the street lights came on. If a kid has the ability to get ready for school and catch a bus then by all means let the kid. It's a good way for a kid to get a grasp of responsibility.
- azreal156, on 01/08/2009, -0/+25Where the hell does he get the estimate 25? Is it like only when you graduate from college and are almost tired of drinking alcohol that you then become mature enough to withstand the horrendous graphical display of violence presented by GTA?
- oobodyguardoo, on 01/08/2009, -1/+25video games are blamed again, very sad...why in hell was a 6 year old playing GTA!
- Nyoxis, on 01/08/2009, -6/+29It's good to hear that Harry and Ron are ok, though they'll be doing time in the forest for this.
