Been following this story since the beginning, and it's a very sad one indeed. I hope you guys do realize that when the boy threatened to run away, the father thought he was bluffing and packed the kid's bag for him, saying go ahead.

I understand that the father probably didn't believe that he would do it.
But when you think your kid is addicted to a first person shooter, and they get into an argument with you when your try to take it away. You know he's got problems. That was a poor decision, but I'm sure that this is very hard for them, and that they already know that.
As someone who lives in Barrie I don't really think it's fair of people saying they have no sympathy for him. Obviously he overreacted and it took a tragic turn for the worse, but I don't see how you can't feel any sympathy for him, his family or the community.
I feel bad for the family and i know its mean to say. But its the kids fault.
Unless he was murdered then it is the kids fault. He runs away from a perfect home, and he gets himself killed just because of a videogame. Common where is the logic in that. He could of went home at any time, but he decided not to.
If the boy died because he was murdered then my whole attitude would change.

As a local you probably have more information on this situation than the rest of us, do you have any ideas as to the cause of death?

I don't know what to tell you, cause I don't.
He could have just went home, but he didn't... I don't understand.

This was probably a contributing factor as to why he ran away and stayed away. He probably thought his dad didn't want him anymore so he left and stayed away. I doubt he would have ran away if his dad didn't do that and even if he did it would have probably been for like an hour.

It hard to have sympathy for someone who runs away from home.
I have more sympathy for his parents who lost a son. Or for the people living in 3rd world countries fleeing wars and fighting.
Yes I still feel sorry for him, but I see where they are coming from.

I feel for his parents. The death of a loved one is tragic, especially if its your child.

Well He was found an almost 2 hour bike ride away in almost negative temperatures, in all likelyhood he thought he could survive overnight in the woods but didn't. I highly doubt there was any foul play involved.

Oh, I see. Thanks for giving a bit of insight. It's unfortunate that this had to happen.
The Call of Duty kid? I don't think it's sad, really, I guess I feel bad for the parents though. It sounds like a joke story, and it makes us gamers look worse.
I don't know why but I really don't feel much sympathy for him. I mean, yeah, it sucks he's dead and I feel really bad for his family. But he ran away over something so trivial. Life could be worse than not having Call of Duty.
I think that people really need to stop with this "oh I don't feel bad for him" BS. Maybe this kid had some mental problems, or maybe he had a bad life at home, and playing video games was his only way to forget all his problems in life. Then his dad takes the game away and packs his bags for him to run away. Would YOU feel loved/wanted?

Maybe, but theres been nothing to say that thats the case, so...
Besides, you wanna get away from an abusive family? Make friends, dont rot in a chair playing games. Its his own fault.

My point being is that it could be so, so much worse. I'd like to feel bad for him, I just can't.
