According to News.com.au, a 14-year old Russian boy brutally murdered his father after his parents revoked the child's gaming privileges. The boy, a resident of Tuapse, hit his sleeping father in the head two times with a sledgehammer, killing him on the spot.
The boy's parents had taken away his gaming rights after he spent a week playing nothing but video games. The real kicker is what happened after the boy murdered his father.
Under Russian law, the 14 year old is old enough to be charged as an adult.
"At around 1am (local time) on April 12, the suspect dealt his sleeping father at least two blows on the head with a sledgehammer," the region's investigative committee said.

After the killing, the boy's frightened mother gave him the keyboard back and the boy played computer games for several more hours until he fell asleep, the spokeswoman said.
At that point, the mother, who was not injured, contacted relatives who in turn called police.
