I think these parents who allowed their underage kids to play an M rated game, should be made an example of. They need to be held accountable.
An autopsy showed she had a broken wrist, more than 20 bruises, swelling of the brain, and bleeding in her neck muscles and under her spine, the affidavits said.
How can you blame the game for this? What the fuck sort of teens would beat up a girl ten years their junior, and to that extent? I mean it isn't just a punch in the heat of the moment. There are 20 bruises on her, and that takes some extensive beating. These kids didn't just try out one move, they reenacted an entire moveset.
If they hadn't done this now, I can guarantee they would have done something worse, had they had the chance to live their adult lives out in normal society.
It was only a matter of time.
