    Him at 12: playing games all day in his room and insults his parent

  10. DUSTIN B on September 17, 2021 at 10:51 pm

    And who bought this kid this video game?
    And who let him play it for 20 hours a day?
    And when he screams out who brings hi the food?

    OK you his parents did!!! yes this is your fault



  11. Lizzie Ilene on September 17, 2021 at 10:51 pm

    I hate when people blame video games on bad behavior. It’s the lack of parenting.



  12. TruthbeSpokenTwice TruthbeSpokenTwice on September 17, 2021 at 10:52 pm

  18. Kai Thomas on September 17, 2021 at 10:54 pm

    I’ve been playing games like battlefield, halo, and COD since I was 8 years old, I am nothing like this kid. This is 100% the moms fault.

  21. Crystal Magic on September 17, 2021 at 10:59 pm

    What she should start doing is to stop being his little genie and stop getting him what he wants when he wants. If your going to be a mother at least act like one.



  22. deal with ahmad on September 17, 2021 at 11:01 pm

    If that kid was smart, he would’ve used the strength in boxing and made a life for himself instead of breaking furniture like a madman

    I’ll just say now as an Aussie that plays Xbox, this kid wouldn’t last a minute in a party chat with me and the boys. Especially if we were playing GTA Online…



  38. XYZ XYZ on September 17, 2021 at 11:17 pm

    One word – UNPLUG.



  39. Boorboor on September 17, 2021 at 11:17 pm

    If my son shouted to me “peasant give me food” I would Chuck him and his Xbox out the window



  40. Calix Soriano on September 17, 2021 at 11:19 pm

    As a person that always play video games, i can tell that i play violent video games and my parents never insulted me, when i play cs i ask my mom to buy me stuff and she buys me the stuff i want on a violent video games (i asked permission pls dont bonk me) and dont harass the dev who created the violent games, they created the games for entertainment purposes so pls dont harass the dev since the thing that they did is just created the games for adults, i blame the parents since the only job they need to do is just insult them, the parents in these are just doing nothing, the words that they are saying are nothing compared to parents that insult the kids who plays the game but they are not supposed to be playing it, the parents should be reading the ESRB rating that the kids are playing so they dont learn that type of actions



  41. ANDRE ELIJAH ANAK ALBAN EBONY Moe on September 17, 2021 at 11:19 pm

    i played gta too but i played nicely, no killing and no robbing
