‘I killed that lady’: Chilling confession of boy, 10, who ‘held the cane on her throat and punched her numerous times’ to death for yelling at him.

Approximately 90% of children in the U.S. play video games, and more than 90% of those games involve mature content that often includes violence. I found a facebook page called “I like to beat up old people on Grand Theft Auto”. No one knows if exposure to violent video games caused this 10-yr-old boy from […]
