13-year-old Noah Crooks allegedly

attacked and killed his own mother
after she confiscated his video
game due to him receiving bad
grades at school.
The jury played the 911 called that
was received from Noah himself on
the night of the murder. Shes
dead, Im scared. I killed my mom
with my. 22. I dont know why I did
it. And he repeated himself
through the conversation that
lasted about 10 minutes.
Sheriffs said that when they turned
up to the crime scene the boy was
immediately put in handcuffs and
put in the patrol car. He was
showing no emotion or guilt.
And they did discover that Noah did
suffer from intermittent, explosive
disorder, which comes under the
symptoms of having repeated
episodes of impulsive, aggressive
or violent behaviour.
So maybe this case is proving the
point behind the violence of these
games being played?

control over us?
