A boy of 13 hanged himself with his school tie after his father confiscated a computer game.

Jake Roberts wanted to play it on his Nintendo Wii console but couldn't because his sister was watching TV.

An argument developed and when his father confiscated the game Jake stormed to his room. Hours later he was discovered hanging from his bed by his father.

Well he sure did teach his father a lesson.

disturbing, truly..
suicide because of not being able to game, oh well.

I wonder though, maybe he tried to scare his dead with a noose like that, but in the end he accidentally did himself in :(

She said: 'We gave him some money for his birthday so he went out and bought a computer game.

'When he came back he wanted to play it but his sister was using the television.
Am I the only person who finds those sentences amazing? He bought a computer game! They use tv's for computer games these days! Are parents really that out of sync?

Why do you think parents complain about their kids playing violent video games, when it's usually them that's buying it for them?

how skinny was the ****ing boy?

he must of not weight a lot. Normally a tie would just... well, tear.

Anyways, in my opinion, as sad as it is, if he's stupid enough to go kill himself over a video game, he deserves what happened to him.

What...the...Hell... -_-

I can only figure the kid had some kind of mental problem, because no sane person would decide their life was over when their game console was taken away. That's like the Master Chief doll trying to drown himself in the toilet when he found out the Halo 3 beta was no longer available (yes, Arby and the Chief reference...machinima rules).

His parents probably didn't love him enough, or show their love for him enough.
Sounds mean or looks like I'm trying to crack a joke in, but I'm serious.

If they did.. they didn't parent him well enough, only guess I can make.
