FT-9 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 An Italian man who argued with his son over Sony PlayStation tactics was recovering in hospital on Monday after the teenager stabbed him in the neck with a 15-inch (40 cm) kitchen knife, police and hospital officials said. The man, identified as Fabrizio R., suffered a deep cut to the throat after his 16-year-old son, Mario, attacked him during an argument on Sunday over the soccer video game FIFA 2009. Police said the argument broke out when the 46-year-old storekeeper offered his son advice on tactics to improve his play, and then turned the television off in response to his son's behaviour. Fetching a knife from the kitchen, Mario stabbed his father in the neck before returning to clean the weapon at the kitchen sink in front of his mother and leaving it to dry on the draining-board. Forty-six year-old housewife Monica B,. told Italian daily Il Corriere della Sera that she had no idea what had happened until her husband stumbled into the room, clutching his throat. "I saw Mario come back into the room, he seemed calm, he went to the sink and I noticed him washing a knife," Monica told the newspaper. "Then my husband came into the room with a hand round his neck, dripping blood." The teenager shut himself in his bedroom after the attack and made no attempt to resist arrest, police said. The game had been given to Mario a few days earlier, as a birthday present. "Mario is obsessed. He's forever playing on his PlayStation, and we bought him FIFA 2009 because we didn't want him playing violent games," his mother told Il Corriere.

Solitaire Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 PS3 >>IT ONLY DOES EVERYTHING!!! I know I shouldn't be laughing but the foolish parents bloody well got what they deserved for not controlling the kid when they should have. Give him a f**king beating and then he'd have shaped up proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitaire Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 physical abuse n violence against kids is not a solution bubba.... Worked out fine for most Indian kids including me. Will work out fine for anyone. A tight slap when I do something thoroughly uncalled for has always set me right. See all those american spoiled brats and then tell me that physically reprimanding them won't be a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a slap or two when I did repeatedly did something I was told not to do (I don't mean as in "I still did it the next day and got slapped", I mean "doing it again and again at that moment and at the end of it getting slapped") and I'm saying that's what's needed. I'm not saying chain your kid and shred him to pieces using the Blades of Athena. What I'm pointing at is the fact that many parents treat their kids like best friends right from the start. That ain't the kinda attitude you need when you're disciplining a kid. Look at this fool who stabbed his dad for a video game. So you're saying its better to create useless anti-social people like this rather than give them a slap when they don't listen to their folks early on in life?? No, sir, I do not agree.

dabba Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 both of us were discussing violence in terms of a slap or two... no shredding of kids with blades of athena or otherwise the need for a slap in terms of discipline indicates a lack of many things... i would not like to get into the nitty gritty for fear that one might assume i am saying things against one's parents... lets leave it at this... u approve of the "hands on" method and i do not right now u are still young (note i have not called u a child) and have much to learn... as have i let us hope and pray, for our sake and the sake of any children either of us might bear fruit to somewhere in the future that they turn out ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
