Jesus, somebody call a priest with a gallon of holy water.
Or is the gallon of holy water meant for the parents?

Anyway, those 'parents' should be sterilised and the kid aborted for being a complete douche. I LOVED computer games as a kid and spent days playing non-stop some times, but even kids need to understand where to draw the line...

Originally posted by CrowleyKids only know where to draw the line only if the example is set. I agree with you that it somewhat seemed a bit staged. Especially for a child to say, "You're gonna put this on the internet, I know you are." His words may be innocent, but maybe this is something those 'non-parents' do all the time - to get a few hits and a few bob, to fuel their own deviance. Whatever the reality, I didn't find it a comforting way of dealing with a child and the problem. I'm sure you didn't too! 😉
