Man Arrested “For Forcing 9-Year-Old To Play GTA”

gta4

Police have arrested a man for “forcing” his stepson to play GTA4, after the stress of playing the horrible game caused him to develop a neurological disorder.

According to police reports, the 28-year-old Nara prefecture nurse was living at home with the 9-year-old son of his 31-year-old wife, who was the child of her previous marriage.

He made the boy play GTA4 on the PS3 “2-3 times a week for 2-3 hours a time,” and the boy apparently complained of stomach aches, headaches and nausea to his mother, after which she separated from the man.

The next month the boy was diagnosed with a neurological disorder obtained as a result of the stress of the game, and the woman made a formal complaint against her husband, whom police arrested and charged with criminal coercion.

He denies the charges, saying “I did not force the boy to play.”

The wicked game featured “shootings and murders, blood and cruelty” and was only one of a number of 18+ titles the man “made” the boy play, according to media reports.

The case has been greeted with some scepticism online:

“Not GTA again…”

“What do you expect, this stuff always happens with children from previous marriages.”

“He was probably just playing it himself. Sounds like something to do with the circumstances of their marriage.”

“Honestly, if he did force the kid, whilst it may not have been a good influence I rather doubt he would be vomiting because of it.”

“He may have just been sick from the 3D.”

“He secretly played the game, got a bit motion sick, the mother pinned it on the game and used it to get out of the marriage? Sounds as plausible as forcing a kid to play GTA for some weird reason…”

“The game was probably just a pretext, it sounds like the pair did not have a happy marriage and that is more likely to cause him stress than a game.”

“Honestly, the mass media are deliberately twisting this to be the fault of the game, aren’t they?”

“What kind of sicko likes these games! No wonder they’d destroy the health of a 9-year-old forced to play them.”

    Politics are driven by parents who don't want to assume any responsibility: "think of the children", but don't do anything except try to find convenient scapegoats.

    Not even "think of the children" because those damn japanese politicians are too lazy to care about physical children. It's more like "think of the 2d children"

    I'd say it was the best of the entire dull series... so not saying much still.

    I'd be vomiting and developing neural diseases too if I was forced to play such a vapid and shitty game.

    GTA IV was a terrible game with bad controls, ugly environments and lighting, obnoxious characters, atrocious music, side content that forces the player to stop playing the game and instead "watch", and less than half the content, freedom, and fun from previous games in the series. It didn't make the kid sick, but being forced to play it should be classified as torture.

    But GTA IS a bad game, so why not?
    There's nothing worser than GTA, probably.

    I'd have a disorder if I had to play that. GTA 4 is soooo overrated.

    So the couple having a shitty relationship isn't the cause of the son having a neurological disorder? I mean, that makes more sense.

    In reaction, I can totally imagine Niko in Satan costume sitting on the top of the GetALife building and laughing like a Slavic devil.

    ....and then falls off to his death screaming like usual.

    Everyone should be forced to play GTA IV, just so they realize that it actually has a story to it, the violence isn't worse than any other game. The press hyped up Dead Rising, and you can smack zombies with dildos in that game, these people are complete idiots.

    You may have a differing opinion on exactly what kind of violence is "worse"....

    Trama from playing a video game for 2-3 hours every few days? Are you shitting me? Jesus thats a far reaching case of escapism. Home life, Family Issues, and issues of the sort most likely caused it, but it was slapped on "WAS PROB THAT VIDEO GAME HE PLAYS"

    You know it's a WTF moment when an adult gets arrested of a 'crime' that really shouldn't be one. Oh, Murrica, coming up with nonsensical bullshit logic and faggotry every day...

    Between this and Japan's censorship laws, I don't even...

    You forget, Japanese are submissive betas. Those subs cannot possibly handle graphic violence & confrontational gameplay. Those weak willed pansies were designed to crack under such things.

    Says the guy posting dismissive anonymous comments on in order to inflate his vulnerable ego. "Oh look at me, I'm such a big strong man, that I need to inflate my sense of self-worth on the Internet."

    You sir, are a spineless hypocrite.

    I'm only here because we share a slight common interest. However, unlike you, I actually leave the house, date & have friends. I also fuck women, that are in relationships. Right now I'd be out fucking whatever you call a woman, but I'm sure she's just a fat bloated pig. u mad? yeah u mad.

    It may be a bit irrelevant, but American media bash violent games for being bad influence on people.

    American media and government considers its people to be unable to "handle graphic violence & confrontational gameplay" and instills the "violent games are evil and promote real life murder" mentality in them.

    Don't forget the Rapelay scandal. According to media, American adults are unable to handle the game's theme and will all become rapists.

    Give it time, after enough brainwashing you'll all be like your Japanese friends. Submissive. Just how the govt. likes it.
    Enjoy your future.

    Playing out of your own initiative and being forced to play are two diff. things.

    One may or may not leave you mentally scarred, and the other one will.

    So yeah, heres what really happened.

    1. Bitch gets dumped by fed up husband.
    2. Bitch dupes new guy into marrying her.
    3. Stress from being forced to be part of scamily overwhelms the kid.
    4. Bitch uses kids condition as an excuse to take everything the guy owns.

    Holy shit, you're just getting this story now? That what you get for waiting for Jap media to find a story, then translate it and post it here to make big money off weeaboos from ad bucks or whatever.

    Just go to Kotaku yourself and get these stories when they are new.
