This one comes from Philadelphia and may be the saddest of them all. A 16 year old boy murdered his mother after she took away his playstation game. Yes, you read that correctly! He hit her 20 times with a claw hammer as she slept. After he killed her, he tried to cremate her by sticking her body in the oven. When that didn't work, he took a chair leg and bashed her head in and dumped her lifeless body in the alley behind their home. Asked why he killed his 37 year old mother, the teen said, "I couldn't stand the arguing."
I don't know how these kids have become so violent. I don't know if the video games, music they listen to or just built up anger of not having a male role model in their lives. I think it may be more of the latter. I encourage all men who read this blog to try to get involved in a mentoring program or something that will attempt to stop the senseless murders that are taking place in our communities.
