from lovehatethings.com This post comes on the heels of the recent death of a 15 year old boy near Barrie, Ontario who ran away from home because his father took away his copy of Call of Duty 4 for the last time . The teen had been spending every waking hour with online friends playing the game and, after hearing his father’s threat, left his family only to be found two weeks later. The event is tragic. The family’s loss is indescribable. And when people look for the scapegoat, we all know what it’s going to be – video games. I don’t know enough to say the behaviour of either side in this specific case was flawed or not, but let’s look at the facts. A boy spends countless hours engaged in an activity that has become completely normal for millions of teens around the world. The only X factor in the equation is the time spent. And if the only line crossed is that of time, why blame the game? The push to censorship or restricting personal freedoms is never so at risk as when a child dies.
