Kid punches mother over Halo 3; fights with police
An Indian River County youth has been accused of assaulting his mother and attacking police, all because he was ordered to stop playing Halo 3. According to TCPalm, trouble began when the youth (whose name and age cannot be stated for legal reasons) was told by his mother to turn off his Xbox 360 as it was getting late. After he refused, his mother took his “air card” (Wi-Fi adaptor) from the 360, preventing him from playing online and prompting a fit of rage that would see the child frantically search through the house, before punching his mum in the face.
The kid then retreated to his room, but soon had to deal with local Sheriff’s deputies, whom his mum had called following the assault. The deputies entered his room using a key kept by the mother, but also fell foul to the youth’s rage: he managed to punch one deputy square in the face before being restrained and handcuffed. He would later be turned over to the state juvenile authorities of charges of battery-domestic violence and battery on a law enforcement officer.

pwnt!
My mom didn’t get a chance to call the cops.
She’s under the floor.
Double Headshot!
Halo sucks.
Kid should be given capital punishment.
First, for punching his mother.
Second, for playing Halo.
Third, for punching his mother because of Halo.
Double Kill?
Good Job with the Melees kid!
lol!! ownage
He cant be a real American, wheres his gun. Ah well, no doubt we will hear about him again, after he shoots 23 classmates dead.
I’m ready to bet that many people are actually very happy that this is happening, because this is the real reason of all these crazy games. The sad thing is that this is only the begining…
If you believe that the gaming industry is just about writing innocent code, to entertain some teens, you must start thinking out of the box.
I’m looking forward to see when the kids will start killing their parents, when the real chaos will begin.
that kid needs ” Life “. Oh well , not my problem if someone is missing his brain. ^^

Strange, I’ve played violent shoot ‘em up and fighting video games for over a decade (I started playing them around age 10); Lo and behold, I have never gone on a real-life killing spree. Why? BECAUSE MY PARENTS WERE PRO-ACTIVE IN MY UPBRINGING! You think that kid learned abusive behaviors from playing Halo? Doubtful. Those behaviors were more likely modeled to him during earlier stages of childhood.
- Get a clue, get a brain, and most importantly: get educated.
The real problem is online gaming not the game itself.
Online gaming addiction is hard to control. Especially if you’re still a kid and still do not know priorities through self control. You can see psychological abuse through online gaming and that itself is a factor (though not a major) in contributing violence.
I give credit to Mr.X for this post. Thanks for not posting any more porns.
What sort of an ignorant drongo would say “I’m looking forward to see when the kids will start killing their parents
Yeah right why do you want that? Could it be just so you can incorrectly claim, your equally perverse and misguided idea that ‘games are coded by the devil’ or whatever dingbat,off the back of a cereal box belief, you half wittedly subscribe to would be proven right?
it was bound to happen,porn was to b mentioned lol
@14
Nobody fault it you are a g.a.y virgin that have no guts.
…before punching his mum in the face, I LOL’D
Sure this kid need life, real life, and yeah Halo suxorz.
M…M…M…MONSTER KILL !!!
And here I was believing the USians had the whole aspect of “tough love” covered, and “all dat”! Following such admirable principles would imply that the mother fetched her PKM from the garage, and then proceeded to empty the entire ammobox through the door and walls. A win-win situation: mom fixed aggro-kid, kid get to play Halo with a shiny new halo…
to the moon alice!
one of these days… !
right in the kisser!
LOL
This kid is a douchebag because his parents let him grow up in an environment where he was allowed to be a douchebag. I honestly feel sympathy for this child. No matter what he did it likely could have been avoided if proper parenting was used in his younger years. Moving on from that, state and local police should NEVER be involved in parent/child disputes… that is just ignorance. Mrs. Dumb(unt should have just left the house and let the little b4stard calm down. Bringing cops into the matter just makes it worse, at this point he’s probably going to be so traumatized by the entire even that he’ll become a f*cking serial killer and never touch a video game again.
And the kid’s name was “Bram HaloDork|MoherPunchingPerson”
Taser that sucka! I would like to point out that those that blame violence on video games share this opinion with “Dr.” Phil. Need I say more?
it was me guys, i had to shut the beach up
@1, @2, @3, @4, @5, @6, @7
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
funny how people are usually short-minded. they are given two facts they belief it’s cause and effect. halo wasn’t the REASON why he hitted his mother. HE WAS ANGRY. halo was just a catalizator – it could have been any thing in fact, ex. salty soup. but it wouldn’t be a BIG DEAL – it happens everyday.
real problem is his inability of controlling his anger, which came out of that no one showed him how to deal with his emotions. and i’m talking here about his mother too.
@ 14:
You are more than extremely right. There’s a hell of a lot of psychology behind the way this kid was acting out, and I’m sure you could dive much deeper than just that. But good for you, I’m glad someone else said it before I had to.
More power to you.
LOL! Kid = owned.
Where is the father…….
@me myself
You’re totally wrong. He went off on his mother like that because of “salty soup”?? This mother first needs throw the XBox360 in the trash, ground the kid for a year, and smack him upside his head next time he even talks to her the wrong way.
He shouldn’t have any free time to be playing video games, he should spend the time studying how to have some manners and learning how to honor his mother and father.
Damn, there some real stupid people out there…..makes me feel ashame of living in the same world as you…damn.
8. what can you say after that…..It doesn’t get more pathetic then that,read a book man..learn something..I don’t know just don’t be an ignorant bastard who takes pride making it public.
10. If you are been sarcastic…cool…if not… o.0
And for all the other stupid ass comments , if you aren’t 15 or younger….man I would feel really stupid to even open my mouth in public or trying to communicate with someone else…….and wtf? aren’t schools and freaking parents doing their work?
the problem is that this happened in America…he could get his live ruined because of some stupid stuff….and do not blame it on video games….i started playing them when i was 12 or so and now i’m 34 and i did not kill anybody…..yet
@ Alfred – not a more true word said
The mother of this child is a dumb kunt. Unless this kid is out working at a job for his own moeny, the mother is paying for his xbox and his online subscription and probably bought Halo 3 for him as well.
She’s creating her own monster by not taking this stuff away from him when he acts up.
@27 in total agreement…
If he wasnt brought up by a soft as sh!te mum to be a spoilt little feckwettin tw@t being allowed to get his own way all the time, he would have just switched off…
Chances are if he had been playing a Wii game instead he would have nunchucked his mum to death..
Wii = Wounded In Interactivness!!!!
thats definately a product of torn rubber:)
actually i play games because they give me the ability to “do” stuff virtually, so i don’t have to do it in real life.
these kids just don’t know how to distinguish real life from a video game…
typical americans
i’ve never even heard of someone trying to do a violent act against anyone else in finland (where I live) cause of a video game…just plain stupid and for that kid : Learn to respect ur parents and get a life Halo sux anyway and don’t tell me that it doesn’t CAUSE I TESTED IT!!!!
Yeah while humorous WTF is wrong with that kid? Talk about your super nerd. He better hope he stays away from home cause when dad gets back its probably clobbering time. I am sure this kids rump will look like it went ten rounds with a saw blade after this. I am glad I don’t play online no more. We once had a 20 or so person brawl at my old college dorm break out over halo the original and part 2.
I would kick the shaite out of that little b’stard…
And indeed, every Halo after the original sux.
and i agree with @14
the kid’s upbringing is something to blaim for than halo 3
Punched his mother in the face… this kid obviously has a mountain of problems, i believe Halo contributed to some frustration, but im 100% sure it isnt the main reason he went psycho on his mother. I was brought up with violent movies and games since i was like 9 years old, it might sound stupid of my parents but i NEVER EVER hit nor went crazy on them, the violence never affected me in any way, if anything it made me a better person, but hey, there’s alot of fu*ked up parents out there too.
just be glad he didn’t have an automatic rifle handy. Serious reality deficit disorder, lol.
ROFLOL!!!
it might be 4:20am here, but does anyone else see the Southpark connection here? That’s typical Eric Cartman behavior! Heh…
Peace…
I simply LOVE how people always choose a cop-out for their problems. Hell, he could have slapped his mom with a piece of celery and then everyone would be like ‘OMG celery is a dangerous vegetable!’ I agree with the quote “Computer games don’t affect kids, I mean if Pac man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.” Seriously the kid was a little deuch bag but like everyone has said, he was probably raised as a spoiled brat.
my gawwd that is crazy i mean to hit yer own mother over a stupid video game no matter what game it is. a kid like that when grown up might not be able to understand the difference between a land of video games and real life, bad for punhing yer mom but nice one hittin the cop damm pigs lol
why did his mum get a xbox 360 in the first place if she cant even handle with his son.The boy did less I think.If u dont know your son, your son becomes know you with a punch in your face
this is possibly one of the better news stories ive heard. absolute brilliance.
LMMFAO @ Bloopie, I laughed good at that one. Jeez, socking your mother in the face and beating up cops :/. Halo is turning into GTA 3.
Seriously only in America would a parent call the cops on their own children.
i wonder how many people misspell douche daily…
@ 39,
I can’t believe you admit your from Finland.
‘nuf said…
#14 & #22 Hit it dead on.
Halo 3 doesn’t have anything to do with the situation, its the kids upbringing. First and foremost i ask, where the hell is this kids father? Called the police because your son popped you in the mouth? LOL where do you think this kid learned conflict resolution from? Hmmmmmm yeah that would be his parent(s). This kid obviously doesn’t have a father that lives in the house, because everyone knows what would happen if their father found out that you hit your mother……yeah not pretty.
Now he is in the American judicial system which is 100% stacked against children. He will be found guilty of anything that he is charged of and likely put on probation which is very stacked against the offender and it is quite possible that his life could be ruined by this very situation. All because his parent(s) couldn’t raise him right. Good job, everyone just lost….. lets blame Halo 3.
h
@10
i hope you’ve got kids
@39,
Yeah stop being so proud of your own darn country. It’s not better than any other countries and neither are you!
Oh yeah and the kid’s an idiot who needs help
he needs a new x box too
hehe….
PAWNED by HALO….
Halo sucks anyways….who really gives a damn about M$ these days?….
pity…fighting over video gamez…..
not his mistake if he grew up in the streets

The parents are to blame aswell, good point
dude he shoulda got that on vid!
Poor mom, but the cops, AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA, if a mom can’t handle her child, poor parenting skills, I never woulda raised my hand to my family, not to mention my dad woulda destroyed me
Halo rules all FPS (first person shooters for the noobs), and to all the haters, don’t hate cause you suck at Halo
Go Sens
society as a hole to blame in my books , right i am off to play Hellgate London , not the game it realy like that around here
serves that damn mom right. i hate it when people tell me to get off the pc/vids.
This is looooooooooooooooooooooooooool !!!
Owned
WAR! GAMERS
NEVER BE DENIED THE RIGHT TO GAME!!!!
i think the mother should have sat the boy down and talked about the problem of his rage over a nice cup of tea,failing a result beat him to within an inch of his sad life and then p1ss on his head for good measure
halo like games lowers IQ
read a book it helped me
Gotta love how this is going to end up as a “Video games cause violent behavior in kids” argument. Let’s just totally go over the fact that the parent started the kids fit by taking a part of his system and hiding it on him. Mind you if the kid was going nuts over something like that then he must have been a bit stuffed up to begin with.
But hey, they mentioned a video game, so it’s going to be the video games fault.
He punched his mum!
*is it me or do people just not TRULY care anymore? i could not even comprehend raising my voice at my mother let alone hitting her?, for any reason.
*to the people saying they would find it funny to see others go on a rampage… honestly, i feel sorry for you most of all, clearly you did not get the up-bringing you needed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_sense
What a douche!,probably to young to properly process hyper violence,and tolerance in reality ect…Gives people like “us” pacificst/non violent gamers a bad name,and THIS kid DEFINITLY can’t say he “understands the difference”,and should just hurry the Eff Up and pass me the 360 before someone gets killed!…lol

it aint halo 3….its just a kid who is spoiled rotten.
Where was his dad? Does he even have a dad?
Everyone is going about this the wrong way. Where’s the father at? If I had a son and he hit his mother, I’d take the kid to a local gym with a boxing ring and put a pair of gloves on the both of us. Then I’d teach the kid a lesson he’d never forget. If he’s prepared to hit a woman he better be prepared to be hit by a man.
Then of course when we got back home after the ass whuppin’ I’d bust his game console and every game up into small pieces.
Hmmm….I hate it when poeple say sh!t like “typical americans.” thats just rubbish. I could go on and on and on about every other country that pisses me off too but I won’t. I will, however, say this: If you don’t like America, fine. we don’t like you either. have a great day.
And on topic, yeah, I gotta say that this kid probably has been walking all over his parents for a long time now and it’s thier fault for allowing it to happen and not being proactive in thier kids life. period. I would have gotten my a$$ torn off for doing anything remotely like what that kid did.
Kid’s a spoilt brat, plain and simple.
Just replace ‘Halo 3′ and ‘Xbox 360′ with ‘Donkey Kong’ and ‘Atari 2600′ 25 years ago. A tantrum is a tantrum, but if the kid thinks it’s okay to hit his mother, he deserves everything he gets – arrogant little shlt!
I blame the mother she is lucky that he didn’t do something worse.You got to have control over your kids.Parents have to be parents.
@80
why do u think it was a black kid? the story dont say that the xbox was stolen, so not sure wher u got this idea from.
@82
My research was based on the racial group in the US that has the largest percentage rate of absentee fathers. From reading above, the consensus was that the father was not involved in the lives of the child, nor the mother of the child.
That IS typical of black people in the US. Sorry if that offends you to hear.
IM THE PAPPY!!
LOL #84 you are an ignorant person indeed. I hope you get beaten and robbed by a group of thugs from the same ethnic background as you, because irony is best served cold.
Sorry if that offends you to hear.
Bad parents need to have something to blame. They cant blame the soup
And indeed @1-@10 LOL LOL indeed
@ #86
Don’t you worry about me, I’ll be just fine. We know how to keep our blacks under control in my part of the country.
some mums are just evil
good thing this kid remembered the three golden rules of Halo:
guns, grenades and MELEE!
Unlucky it wasn’t him who “Finished the Fight”
Hahaaha… i love these topics:
First of all … Games, videogames, ludo and whatever, doesn’t cause violence. If you have a crazy ass kid, addicted to something – it can be halo – drugs… sugar… i don’t care. If you take it away, he will be annoyed. And if he only learned to react by using violence – THEN THAT’S THE F… king mothers FAULT!
The only thing wrong with this story, is that a midget didn’t come running in – as the cop and mother was lying on the floor; pointing and going: Pwned!
What a freaking loser kid, if I heard of one of my friends punching his mom I would beat the (You know What) out of him right after he got out of Juve. I would then tell him it is just a freaking game, and to get a life. I have been playing violent games since I was a kid also and never once have I assaulted anyone. The issue is on the inside, if the the parent care about there children and discipline them, teach them respect, and discernment and responsibility these issues would not be occurring. Come on people get a clue
^^^^ *parents* *their* oops, bad grammar
@88
You really seem like a racist to me!
@14
I think u got it right…
Nothing is as simple as to just blame a game. Its the parents, the milieu, the situation, just everything!
Poor kid -.-
This is completely normal for a kid.
Seriously. Most people will as a kid perform something just as ‘bad’. I know I did…
Maybe it is the puberty + hormones.
Hmmm video game noted as a cause.
No one’s looking at the parenting skills here. A kid that flips out when told by a parent to do something stems from poor parenting. Shut up kid, turn off you game, go to bed. Parents, do your damn job and shape the kid’s habits instead of letting devices do it for your lazy arse.
@Harold
I’d tend to agree with you about black males. Just ask any group of black women. There has been a trend lately in America for black women to seek out white men because they know that man will be more faithful to them. There are statistics out there on this. They are raised to stick to their race though and stand by the black man that cheats on them.
This isn’t racist or prejudice. It’s a statistical fact. But that’s for another time and place to discuss.
In regards to this article though, I’ve seen my share of single white mothers too. None of them are capable of raising a kid properly. They can say all they want to but in reality without the proper male father figure in their life they get out of control. It happens with boys and girls. None of them respect their single mother raising them.
If there were a father there then the cops would have never been involved. The father would do as I would. That’s what this kid really needs. He doesn’t need time in jail. He needs a father and 10 minutes in a ring with that father. The kid would never touch his mother like that ever again.
Yea, what kind of father does this kid have? That guy let his wife get beaten by their own kid. He should have at least tried to protect his wife.
I don’t understand why parents nowadays are so unwilling to give their kids a smack upside the head when they deserve it. Too busy trying to be “friends” with their kids instead of teaching them right from wrong. Jeeez.
Well, the articles keeps referring to parents and not to parent so both parents were present. The presence of a father does not prevent such actions.
HAHAHA nice one, Bammm!
seriously though, not cool. but mum should leave him be, if he wnats to nerd it up, let him. its not like you can force kids to study or woteva if they dont want to
Wow, must be good game.
Welcome to the crazy country that is America…
I totally agree with #72 and the link was needed
sounds to me the kid has no dad…enough said…
mr x
i assume english is not your native language.
if you are interested in the correct usage of ‘would’ have a look
http://www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglish-central-grammar-would.htm
And this is news because…….?
American’s …. im surprised he didnt pulled out a gun a shot her …
Those damn negroes are ruining America. They will be the downfall of us all
I would beat the crap out of that brat… Call it modern education… Obviously there isn’t a father figure in the picture.
First off, what happened to obeying the parents? Hey, if that rule was cool enough to be put in the Bible….
Secondly, too much of a good thing isn’t exactly good. The parent(s) probably didn’t teach the kid about taking things in moderation.
Third, I was one of the kids that was brought up during the first video game wave with the Atari 2600. My parents taught me well about when to play and how long to play, something the kid never was taught, apparently.
The kid did a stupid thing, something that will haunt the kid and perhaps be taunted about, for example….
Kid 1: I’m here in jail because I hit someone while driving drunk.
Kid 2: I robbed someone of Sixty Dollars in order to buy a rock.
Kid 3: I beat down a guy because I hate Homosexuals.
Kid 4: I hit my Mom and a cop because she made me stop playing HALO 3.
….and the taunting continues…..
costa200 ur propably right about that father figure thing but would it actually help if u would start to beat people too???
Well after reading that story fairplay to the kid with the hook to the police…if one of the cops tried to stop me with crysis he would get the same….good publicity for xbox by the way…but beating your mom aint good so you deserve to get your ass kicked by the police…if your watching this post kid…guess what your mom is playing on your xbox now and she owns you…muhhhaaaa
@39 Notn4,
Maybe you spoke too soon. Read today’s headlines in Finland.
“At least eight people were killed when an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at a school in Finland Wednesday…”
Besides, if you don’t like America, then stop playing their games and watching their movies. I know that won’t happen.
Ok, this post is finished, let’s move on….
The kid beat his mom cuz he wanted to play Halo. The juvees hit the kid, cuz they want play with his “Halo” now.
stupid is as stupid does ….. and all over this stupid dumb game
yeah, that’s right cumstains, you heard…. ITS A FUKKING GAME…. get a life
and while your at it, stop cross posting in the movie section here saying “is it better than halo 3″
folks over there dont give a sh1t if you wanna play it all the time or how good you think it is
@ 114,
I’m with you there. Wtf is the problem with those people asking “IS THIS BETTER THAN HALO 3″ in the MOVIE section?
Go play your Halo 3, because I don’t care.
