:( really sad

[Ruroken]

Honestly, kids these days...

Hes being a moron.

[Timer]

You really think he'll go back home, even if the cops find him..? His parents would kill him... =.=

[josh81193]

interesting, i read this article before coming here. kinda sad people are letting themselves be controlled by a game, even worse their parents are letting them get into that position, seriously where are the people they hang out with? you cant just sit in school thinking about cod4 the whole day and not have someone to say something to...

[Solkrieg]

im a gaming addict as well...but this...this crosses the line..what a fumb duck
i hate to say it but...i think the kid is dead

[D1zl3]

I think the kid is laying low at a friends house. I heard that microsoft raised it to $50,000 now? And they also brought in the guy from mantracker to look for him.

that language was quite not needed?

... go outside if your a addict.

but yeah got this from yahoo.com

[Main]

yeah. every one at my school laughed at his ass lol..
am in toronto the kid is from barrie, on the news, there were like his friends writing "please comback w/e the fuck the kid's name is". he was on the news for like 10 days straight lol

[boberman]

I hope the kid is all right. Yeah he is dumb for running away, but he could be in real danger. Most missing persons that aren't found after 3 days are found dead...

[Ruroken]

*shakes head*

poor guy has been raped and killed by a trucker/bear/whoever else is out there by now...

[StrikerX]

Hmm, This is like a story i heard about, quite sad.

Btw, This was in the Morning Herald about 5 years ago, so this is the best i could find.

[MineOrChop]

If that boys hands himself in, does he get all the $$$?
If so, sad to say; he is a genious.

On the other hand, running away because of losing the game for a period of time, is just stupid and immature etc :-)

[ow oww owww]

HAHA what a legend

[noidea]

Lol, a "fumb duck!". My parents are ass tight about the computer, so I'll never end up like that.

[P1nky]

HAHA what a legend

-.- not really.

hopefully he didnt commit suicide.

that WOULD be the stuppiidddessst reason to do that :(

[Cayne]

-.- not really.

that WOULD be the stuppiidddessst reason to do that :(

Unless he's got some severe mental problems I don't see him doing that... Though in a way his father took away all the people he knew online which can probably turn someone suicidal if they don't have any strong relationships in the real world.

[firefoxx]

quite sad but microsoft pays 25k $ for the 1 who finds him :)

[Ruroken]

Hmm... I live nearish to there.... :stirthepot:

[Heavenzeyez1]

Hmm... I live nearish to there.... :stirthepot:

So, you are hiding him in your basement? :rolleyes:
Wait another week, so you will get more $$.

[Zyt3x]

Woah!

And I thought my friend was addict when he started crying because he had to quit O.o
(Hes 14 years old..)

[Brain]

wow....pardon the language, but it sounds like this kid is a bitch....
Thats like the only way I can describe him...seriously...
I have never understood the wanting to run away...

[jada7770]

what a idiot lol

[wonkapwnage]

all i can say to this is wow...;)

[Zackattk1993]

MS is just trying to put in brownie points for the consumers :p

[jakeyboy29]

if i was him, ild ring my mate tell him to ring the cops. split the cash 50%50. $25k each for a couple of days work.

[D1zl3]

I just read in the newspaper that they found a body that they think is him but they dont know 100%

[Ruroken]

Yeah...

The dad says he's 100% that's his son they found. Had his cloths and backpack.

[D1zl3]

dam that sucks I feel sorry for the family... I thought they'd find him alive.

[Ruroken]

If I spent almost every waking hour playing CoD4 I doubt very much I could survive in the wild...

Dish is true Ruroken, but it does teach you how to plant the bomb, and if he ran into any terrorists out there he would be fine.

haha since when was I called dish?

[Brain]

no no no, not you d1s3l, I was commenting on Ruroken's post, and saying like "This is true" but with some sort of silly accent sounding like "Dishes true"

I have no idea if you are correct or not. :p

haha sorry I just thought that cause my name sorta looks like dish if you look close :P

[P1nky]

:(

dang really sad like almost tears in my eyes:

no more "lols"...
please.

[Brain]

Dude it's just death......no big deal. If he is going to run away and get dead over an xbox, might as well be sooner than later in my opinion...

are you on crack?
hes 15 and he commited suicide most likely over xbox..

thats really sad, they made it so addictive..

[Brain]

Yeah, I love COD4 as well, it's a great game, but if he can't accept reality when presented with a video game the future is going to suck for him. And age is nothing, there are 1000's of people under 20 dying every hour of everyday. THIS ONE CASE seems important to you because you can relate to him, liking video games. It's a lot harder to put yourself in the shoes of some poor African kid with no food starving to death never seeing a television. I have no sympathy for this kid, nor his death.

I partly agree, for the kid I feel no empathy; for the father it must be gut wrenching, he will be blaming himself for his own son's death for the rest of his life.

[Rich]

Do you think he killed himself, someone killed him, or he died from getting fresh air into his lungs?

Moron. If his life depends so much of Xbox, there's a problem:(

[1337w33d]

People are making fun of the kid, Ice Crispies instead of rice crispies etc. Sad, yes, hillarious, yes.
