10-year-old scores felony charge through 'Minecraft' - Polidicks

i think it went like 'you spent 800 dollars on minecraft?' 'uh, yea, i spent it all on minecraft. yes.'

[QUOTE=varg666;43118376]I was being sarcastic.[/QUOTE] You're not very good at that.

Did she ever get the money back?

[QUOTE=.FLAP.JACK.DAN.;43118403]How though? It's not like parents even look at the ESRB rating these days (or ever) for example.[/QUOTE] Well then they're just going to lose vast sums of money because they're lazy parents and their kids don't know any better.

Leave it to the parent to pay, then let the parent dish out a plate of WHOOP-ASS in the form of a leather belt. He'll never make that mistake again.

See when it comes to police charging someone they can A) Charge him with what he actually did B) or Roll a D20 and slap him with a minor or serious charge depending on the roll

$800 on minecraft sounds like the most stupidiest shit you can do with your money, if it was 10$, 20$ to waste on the game, it would be ok, but 800?! ahaha, what do I expect from a child stealing money from her mom?

[QUOTE=joshjet;43118669]You were never beaten as a child, were you.[/QUOTE] No, I was. I'm speaking from experience.

but you turned out an absolute weirdo. why would you wish that on anyone else

[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;43118850]but you turned out an absolute weirdo. why would you wish that on anyone else[/QUOTE] Because I was broken before they beat me. Using me to conclude that beatings = insane as an adult would be so incredibly biased.

jesus get help please and don't describe yourself as broken

[QUOTE=pentium;43118840]No, I was. I'm speaking from experience.[/QUOTE] Maybe we can't blame your particular issues completely on early child abuse, but the fact that early child abuse is such a common trait in criminally violent and socially maladjusted adults seems a bit hard to ignore. In fact, your initial reaction to a young child making a dumb mistake being a suggestion to beat him with a leather belt seems a [i]disturbing testament[/i] to that.

It's also a common trait in most of our parents, so that might be something to keep in mind.

We have studies out the wazoo showing the effects that violent parenting can have on children later in life, so are you suggesting that they be ignored out of... what? Some kind of tradition?

Anyways, to go back on topic, parents will have to pay the bill, kid will have to pay back the parents in one way or another and understand that you shouldn't do this.

[QUOTE=pentium;43119105]My father was beaten as a student and by his parents yet he's an engineer now.[/QUOTE] What's your point? He was abused, and became abusive to you, and you turned out like this: [t]http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k553/BigDumbAmerican/mips_zps14324b46.jpg[/t] Assuming you ever have children, you will likely abuse them as well (since you've basically said as much), thus continuing the cycle. There is a reason why child abuse is the single most common shared trait between criminally violent and emotionally damaged people. Abuse to children causes them to internalize that hostility, leading to a high probability that they will develop severe emotional and social shortcomings, and likely become abusive themselves. Abusive environments breed abusive people. Anecdotal evidence of somebody who came from an abusive household and didn't grow up to be a maladjusted serial killer doesn't mean much in the face of overwhelming sociological evidence suggesting that early abuse in childhood leads to a much higher probability of violent or antisocial behavior later in life.

Nevermind, Error Post.

Why is our generation more susceptible to this physical trigger to mental illness?

actually child abuse isn't just physical pain, it's a deliberate and conscious action done by [I]the child's fucking parental guardian.[/I] much worse.
