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.
Taking a step too far right?? I mean I cried when I was little because I can't complete a level on the PS1 but that was as far as I could go... lol Man that kid must be fucked up in teh head and played too much games in his life
This is why.. you gotta BEAT your kids.. How the hell did the father not see the kid take the knife out the kitchen... these crazy ass kids these days. and it couldn't have been video games.. considering they don't let him play any violent ones. What could have triggered a reaction like that.. shouldn't mario be playing games like super mario? lol
it is possible that he was sitting on a chair in the living room which could be facing away from the kitchen reading the paper or something...... it's not all that hard to take something from another room without immediate notice. And seriously..... over soccer?! damn.... this kid is messed up..
Still this kid it nuts, that fact that he did that to his father and just calmly walk over to the kitchen an clean the knife off and just letting his father bleed to death is just creepy.
Omg, just throw that damn playstation away! What's wrong with that kid? And his mother saw him cleaning the knife? Didn't she noticed any blood on the ground or something...
