I love how people blame their own mistakes on something else making them look like even bigger idiots in the process.
You mean I have to be a mother? I thought sitting my kid in front of the TV is good enough; it's cheaper than a babysitter after all. Besides, my *18 year old son* or I should be held accountable when the games did all this, not me mindlessly buying my kids games without seeing what I was getting. That's like giving me a speeding ticket when I didn't even know what the speed limit is!"*
The mother is just trying to get her kid some leniency by shifting the blame somewhere else. People are going to raise a big stink about it and waste a lot of time but in the end the kid is still going to get what he deserved for stabbing someone 72 times.
*Yes, that part is supposed to be as bad as it sounds
