@ fazz
im not joking but my parents started throwing me out while i was 5.
ive seen my dad marrying a woman instead of my mom and kicking her out of the house while i was a kid.

i still dont think my dad is a bad person, i think he is the greatest dad a person could have. He just have problems communicating with his children..

 If you say this is for some cases the truth I agree but I don't agree if this is the case for all the cases.

This is like a typical Gametrailers discussion where the most say that you become 'homo sexual' because of how your parents raise you =/.

I think that there are a bunch of people at fault in situations like this, not the least of them is the teenager.  I'm sorry, we've all been there, and while we may have had tough situations, at home, or elsewhere, and we may have had whatever influences from whatever form of popular culture, we're still human beings with a choice.  The kid's parents may have had issues, he may have been chemically imbalanced, but the fact that he decided to "hire a hitman" is his responsibility, when push comes to shove.  He made a stupid, fucked-up decision, that was possibly something life pushed him towards, but, ultmately, it was his decision.  After a point, sympatheticness to the kid's situation damages his ability to take control of his actions.  A balance is needed.

How the hell was he brought up as a child if by 17 he reaches the descision to do that!

This is jack Thompson's christmas

it boils down to the parents everytime--it either is somethign wroung withthe DNA mix or something they did or didnot do when he was growing up

Wow, I can't believe how immature some of the posters on Vgchartz are...

The article was wrong for emphasizing the Playstation, but still,

"Ryder told Juvenile Services that he was angry that his parents grounded him for weeks, confiscated his PlayStation, banned him from watching television, and kicked him out of the house."

If I was a 17 year old, I would feel rejected on all levels. Could you imagine all of that happening to you? That would be horrible!

And like some kind of lame tabloid, you all want to point fingers first and consider the situation second.

Come on people.

i dont feel bad for the guy b/c at that age you are not a kid anymore--you are an adult and need to be treated like one--

he screwed up and fromt he sound f it more then once--his parents were trying nothing more then to raise him he was just a bad guy that threw a tantrum b/c he wasnt getting his way--

How can you see him as the victim Montana

@MontanaHatchet - But on the other hand there's no explanation of what the kid did first. Maybe it's just the demographic I've come in contact with, but I've met more kids who are disrespectful to their parents than parents who are abusive to their children. It works both ways.

I don't necessarily think you were responding to me, but still.

Type legibly.

I was responding to everyone.

I'm not in the league of the child, I'm just thinking to myself how immature some of you can be about a tragedy. Obviously the kid did something awful in order to be chastised as such, but really, how immature are you that you use the article as a tool to make cheap pot shots at the Playstation brand?

That's exactly what the media wants you to do.
