So instead of looking into any psychological problems or problems at home these kids may have had, they just want to lay blame at the door of a video game, sounds pretty much the standard these days.

Honestly :rolleyes:

'In three or four inquests into the deaths of teens, the Call of Duty game seems to be figuring in recent activity before death'

That just because loads of kids/teens play it? You wouldn't see a story that made a link between deaths and, say, watching pokemon. But I bet you could link up watching pokemon to child deaths if you looked hard enough

I'd call his so called expertise into question if he's seriously blaming these deaths on games rather than attempting to look into the actual causes of their suicide because they didn't kill themselves over losing a game, no one commits suicide for petty reasons, they do it because they don't see another way out and blaming a video game is just amateurish and lazy.

Investigate their lives and find out the real cause because if it's abuse/bullying related it could affect other people too.

Just before dying, these kids were breathing. I demand an investigation into the harm that breathing does to the body.
