I hope for Austin's sake, he's coming home soon too. I wonder when he'll be flying back for his son soon? Is this PR?

I feel I can see both perspectives here as my teenage son is a total zombie killing gamer as well as loves anime.. But yet I dont get at all offended(imo mainly due to the fact that the questions and comments re:gaming and anime are not imo intended to be offensive, judgemental, etc) the fact is whether people like it or not there is some pretty bad chit in both violent games and really bad chit in the dark side of anime..those are facts, period they are not judgements about any of of our children that are big time gamers or lovers of anime..the fact exists that there is a reason for concern imo... No one is saying or indicating that our children who are big time gamers or lovers of anime need to kept an eye on cuz they may turn into a sick, deviant individual like ARS...thats not being even implied or alluded to in the least..
I fully agree with katydid's opinion on the desensitizing that occurs from the excessively violent games that many kids are exposed to..imo some may not want to believe that but imo its the Gods honest truth..now neither katy nor I are prudish, over bearing individuals who freak out about games, movies, etc..but rather are just aware of what the extreme violence of games and such POTENTIALLY CAN DO TO IMPRESSIONABLE YOUNG MINDS.. For me I believe that as a parent its my job to limit my childs gaming of the zombie killing that if allowed to my child would play 24/7.. There sadly are children who are allowed to play 24/7, along with completely immersed in the extreme violence of movies and unsupervised internet access..this without a doubt will absolutely desensitize even the best of kids if allowed the total immersion into these types media that a child without guidelines, boundaries, and supervision are very likely to do.. Does it mean your child will be a serial killer?..no, but regardless imo the child does suffer negative impacts from it..
These are not offensive judgements that are being made here wrt to gaming, anime, etc.. They are honest discussions about the very real dangers and negative effects that any impressionable young person is going to unfortunately have with unhealthy immersion into these medias..
As far as what sarx is speaking about imo she is not talking about the mostly benign anime that the majority of our teenagers love..but rather the very dark and very real existence of anime *advertiser censored* including pedophilia, incest, and beastiality just to name a couple.. For any who do not believe or doubt or even think that what im speaking of is exaggerated I suggest you simply one time go to your google search box(WITHOUT THE SAFE SEARCH SETTINGS ON) and simply type into that search box just the word "ANIME" .. I can promise you within those very first google results you will have a link to ANIME *advertiser censored* THAT INCLUDES PEDOPHILIA, INCEST, BEASTIALITY..its very much there and its very much dark and poses a danger to our impressionable youth..
I informed my son of it before he got introduced to it by his peers..sadly that type chit exists and is all around our childrens peers and I wanted him to know ahead of time what type dark perversion that existed in the anime world..
These extremely negative facets of what is our children's entertainment outlets very much exists and when there is an adolescent such as ASR that is already predispositioned to many different factors due to possibly genetics, due to a violent, unstable environment within which he was raised...when adding to that these extremely dark, violent, perversions that are very much alive and well in media such as gaming and anime.. The negative impacts imo are absolutely explosive..
It is this that is the basis for which these topics are broached here at ws in a case such as this.. It is absolutely NOT brought up to judge or point fingers at those of us whose kids happen to love gaming and anime.. Thats just not what is going on here.. The media exists..imo its absolutely a relevant topic in this case with an adolescent brutal murderer and for it to be taken as offensive or judgemental just is not what is at all meant by those who have broached these subjects..
All jmo from a momma whose teenage son is an avid gamer of killing zombies and a huge fan of anime...
I hope for Austin's sake, he's coming home soon too. I wonder when he'll be flying back for his son soon? Is this PR?

BBM, he hasn't?
I'm a little more curious about how he was allowed to leave the state.
It hasn't been that long since his last arrest.
Is he not on parole/probation or federal supervision?
What 15 year old boy with an internet doesn't have *advertiser censored* addiction?
Not making light of it but what one may constitute an addiction another may think of as normal behavior of a boy who probably doesn't have many of those type of encounters with girls.
So with you there. Our "living room" is actually the computer and book room. Computers face into the room (we call it the bull pen) and the wall to the dining room is half size, so open space, easy to see. Anyone can walk in at any time. I check the history, cookies and temp internet files on a regular basis. And anyone is welcome to check mine (although they haven't since my last search on dismemberment....JK) It's part of the agreement for getting to have a computer. But everyone DOES play Minecraft together.... (BTW, no cable TV here, either, but we love Netflix)You know, we can blame *advertiser censored* or video games all day long for kids troubles these days, but in reality we use them as.scapegoats for the real problem.... lack of parental guidance. And not just any parental guidance, but PROPER guidance. Children should not have computers or other technological devices with internet access until they are old enough to properly use them. Computers should be in a family area of the house, not in bedrooms. Children who are monitored by parents while doing homework will have no trouble laying off the *advertiser censored*. For many of us, there is no such thing as a "little" *advertiser censored*. Naked bodies are for intimacy between a couple, not public viewing. If we don't teach children that things are special and sacred, how will they learn to treat them this way when they are grown? Children should not be playing video games with violent depictions. There's so much more to life than all that crap and we are turning little brains to mush. My children have absolutely no idea of the existence of most of this stuff. Children won't develop addictions to gaming if they are not purchased for them.
I don't care what the rest of the world is doing... I guess I'm old school. Read a book. Or go outside and play in the fresh air.
You know, I remember a term used when computers first came into mainstream society: GIGO. Garbage in, garbage out. That applies to little children, as well. We will only quit being shocked at the garbage they put out when we quit letting them put the garbage in!!
Off my soapbox... and I'm sorry if I offend those of you who have posted in defense of gaming. We have a Wii and Mario Kart is the goriest game we've got.... and they can only play that on Saturdays anyway. While I understand that for many of you, it is a normal part of life... and I'm not judging that.... I'm just trying to share that for many of us, it is not. While we have much technology around this house.. too much, if you ask me....my children can only use them on weekends. Even the TV stays off during the week. My kids had a bucket of fun this afternoon. Literally. With a bunch of brand new tennis balls I picked up at Academy and a game they invented themselves.
We MUST empower ourselves as parents.

I completely agree! I looked this up not long ago for another case/post, but it makes me sick how "prison time" isn't "real" time. i.e. 1 day in prison equals 3 "real" days. I'm a little ashamed to admit it but I've known someone sentenced to 12 years in prison who was out in much less time (IIRC under 2 years?). It wasn't for a violent crime and I know the math doesn't work, I'm sure there is more to it, but it's disgusting. IMO. Don't put hours/days/years on a sentence if they're completely fake, IMO.
But I think he may be right. I do believe that internet *advertiser censored* plays a bigger part in these crimes than many of us know. There are a lot of teens that are addicted to these SICK VIOLENT *advertiser censored* sites.
I am NOT talking about regular, soft *advertiser censored*. I am not talking about the type that a couple watches together to spice up their night. I am talking about violent, gruesome images that include bestialty, or torture and /or incest. People would be surprised at how many teens are being swept up in this chit.
I personally don't think an addiction to internet *advertiser censored* is the cause of his problems; I think it's more likely a symptom of them.
With all due respect, how old are your kids? I think we will have the conversation again when they are old enough to drive and have laptops. You cannot keep kids away from these kinds of temptations once they become teens. So you may find that , as careful and cautious and responsible a parent as you are, even your kids MIGHT fall into some of these waiting traps.JMO
It bothered me that Dad was living in that mansion, while mom was declaring bankruptcy. Couldn't he help her out, considering his sons were living with her? How stressful was that for his kids?
BBM. I respectfully disagree. You CAN keep your kids away from these temptations, you just have to be paying attention. I agree you may not be able to stop them from the first time, but you can always keep them from any subsequent times. It just isn't easy, but if you wanted easy, you wouldn't be a parent. And yes, mine drive and have laptops. And, oddly enough, don't even WANT all the latest and greatest gadgets, refuse to have Facebook accounts ("Who needs the drama?"), do not know or care who the Kardashians are, and like inviting friends over to bake bread. (who also, oddly, enjoy coming over and doing so)With all due respect, how old are your kids? I think we will have the conversation again when they are old enough to drive and have laptops.

OH, I agree. Lots and lots of teen boys look up dirty pictures on the net. Most look and then move on. Others get all caught up in it. I think that those who have a void and some emotional issues are much more likely to become obsessed with *advertiser censored*/drugs/violent images.
Sorry if already posted.

I have to agree with you, my mother for example would not let us children have soft drink, lollies or brand new clothes (as examples), the moment we were out of her control we all gravitated towards things that she had withheld. I for example had a bad coca cola habit for many years, it took me years to undo the damage that my mother had set my siblings and I up for.
What she should have done educated us about temptations and taught us how to make good choices and what was okay in moderation.
Having now raised my own child to young adulthood I've found my way of discussing these things with my daughter and the reasons for certain decisions instead of the old 'because I said so' has meant my daughter has learnt how to make sensible decisions for herself. Even now that she is legally of age she rings me to tell me when she arrives at or leaves destinations and at home the only place she uses her laptop is in the lounge room.
real communication and teaching your children the skills to make good healthy decisions is something all parents should do right from when their children are young.
Too many parents are just worried about their kid "liking" them or they are too wrapped up in their own drama filled lives to care what's going on.
THANK YOU. That was what I was trying to say. I felt it was important to educate our kids about the temptations awaiting them, and help them to avoid those traps. But my kids had their own laptops as teens. I didn't make them sit in the living room to be on their computers. But I did have their FB passwords and I did occasionally do History searches to see where they had been. Neither of them ever accepted IM's or PMs from strangers though.
I never liked video games, but my son LOVED them, and when we moved to a new town, and he didn't have many friends yet, and his main way of staying in contact with his 2 best friends back home was by playing games online with them, we said okay. It was the lesser of two evils, imo. It was middle school and a brutal time for him to move to a new town. And I figured there were worse things he could be doing and at least he was here in his room.
Sometimes when a parent withholds something, it ends up making that withheld thing an object of desire. Never tell your daughter that you hate her boyfriend until she is already wanting to dump him. LOL
