An 18 year old boy turned on the PlayStation in their house without asking permission from his 16 year old brother, who became angry and stabbed his brother with a knife, telling police later that "things had gone out of control". Currently 5 years of prison may be granted to this youth today. The event took place last Thursday, on April 29th. A homicide investigator, Gilberto Opazo, found out that the boys had been orphans living for 10 years as wards of the state, because their mother had abandoned them. Then Valerie Michael, a Belgian woman, adopted them. According to sources, Michael was in Belgium, when this fight occurred.
It is truly shocking to see to what a negative position the media and techonology of today has gotten us to. In this age, when people fight over possessions, small or large, seems very childish and unnecessary. Especially when it is youth that fights over a small console that is worth much less than their blood relationship. It seems as if many children are more attracted to their possessions than their siblings. I feel that even having video-game consoles is very useless, especially in an orphanage. They should play more sports and outdoor games which socially connects people rather than raise anger amongst them over objects.
