12 year old raped with Wii remote for teasing 26 year old

[Saltyk]

Also, what makes me really concerned is why did the parents entrust a 26 year old to be around these kids if they even knew he drank beer?

Hey now, steady on... I enjoy the occasional beer but that doesn't mean I'm liable to sodomise children at the drop of a hat. I'd say that, if this story is true, the guy had deep-rooted anger management issues which would dwarf any drink problem he might have had.

But anyway, a lot of this story doesn't add up. How's this for a different take on it: Man plays Wii with kids, the kids p*ss him off, he takes it too far and back-hands one of them around the head. The next day the boys make up some outrageous story in revenge, and the tabloid media eats it up because sensationalism sells. Or is that too cynical of me?

You know.. I actually didn't think of that. You got a good point there. However, the sad part is that the 26 year old guy did confirm to a neighbor he sexually assaulted the kid with a Wii remote (it's at the bottom of the Article). Besides that, the kid was crying all night dramatized which I bet if the cops examined the kid- they could see 'proof' that his anal was contacted with an object... .. . saying that made me have chills down my spine.

Again, I acknowledge your logic about this story being made up and that can be true... yet, the article states the 26 year old gave himself in to the neighbor resulting the arrest. Now, I just want to know how the other kids plus parents can sleep through that child's screaming when materially raped (if he could scream.) Oh and I know not all adults who drink beverages of beer do such crime. Just some cases these adults let kids get the best of them and just, snap.

First of all. I'm not a brony, but I like your new avatar.

Actually, I was wondering the same thing. He did this in a house with sleeping adults and apparently in front of other children, but no one said anything? In fact, he apparently attacked him the next day, too. It doesn't really say anything about how in the OP, so he could have just punched him or something, but he obviously had some serious issues. Assuming he assaulted the kid in a similar way with the Wii remote, how could anyone let that happen again? I do think he might have simply tried stuffing the remote in the kid's mouth, though, which would explain at least a little of it. (try not to think about that too hard)

No matter what, this seems out of proportion. Looking at myself, I only have a few reactions to being teased.
*Ignore it
*Laugh
*Tease back
*Light (playful) punches in the arm

These seem pretty reasonable. I probably wouldn't do the last one to a kid that's half my age, but nor would I do anything with a Wii remote, either.

christ... Nintendo over-react enough when it comes to security for children with their retarded online functionality.

Now they'll probably put sensors in the wii-U that prevents an adult from holding the controller if there is a child in the room.


OT: that is pretty nasty... I mean those controllers are big things

 

[CrazyGirl17]

...What the hell did I just read?! This... I don't even know what this is!

Also, yeah, maybe it was parially the kid's fault, but rape is not an acceptable method of punishment.

To borrow a line from Nash of TGWTG.com... What the FUCK is wrong with you?!

 

[zelda2fanboy]

If you're a 26 year old man who would consider raping someone with a Wii remote, chances are there were probably really good reasons for 12 year olds to make fun of him. I can't imagine he was much of a winner to begin with. If anything, we should be grateful for the witnesses and situation as this might be the worst thing that idiot will ever get to do.

 

[Uber Waddles]

Honestly, I was expecting more people to say some stupid pun. I'm genuinely suprised by the maturity here.

My thoughts? Fucked up. Big time. HES 12 YEARS OLD. You know how you deal with a 12 year old teasing you? You realize its a fucking 12 year old. 12 year olds can't do anything fun, they can't drive, they don't have money, jobs. AND THERE IDIOTS. They don't even have a fully developed brain.

Why not DRIVE your car to vent? Or do something every 12 year old wants to do, go buy some cigarrettes, porno, R rated movies, M Rated games and alcohol, and destroy them infront of the 12 year old in a mocking "I can do this you can't" kinda way. Just to show him who is really boss. OR BETTER YET, just indulge in them. BECAUSE YOUR A FUCKING ADULT.

How stupid are people? How fucked up do you have to be to think, no matter what the teasing was, that the logical recourse of action is to rape another person with a controller. Was the mental distress that 12 year old causing you greater than or equal to the emotion distress of being raped? I can't imagine the "with a Wiimote" would help either. Idiots like this deserve the chair.

I do find respite in the fact that the 12 year old did win. That guy is going to jail, for a long time. He will never find a job again that can give him a good income. And prisoners do NOT take kindly to pedophiles. Good job at ruining 2 lives though, dickface. See you in hell.

While I'm scared by the recent stories of child beating and forced wiimote insertion, I have difficult time relating them. Guy gets mad because kid outscores him, happens to live nearby, comes over and tries to strangle because of a game. Guy gets drunk, is teased by children and sodomizes one? I'm frustrated because every piece on this story is worded the same:

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705391925/Man-accused-of-raping-boy-during-sleepover.html (posted a day before the Kotaku article)
http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=17530465 (posted only 4 minutes after the Kotaku article)

I would like to know his actual reason for turning into... a raging whirlwind of butthole destruction. What is the most terrible thing someone could say to you, that would make you want to hurt them in the ass?

 

[Von Strimmer]

Ok guys, don't think I'm a bad person but I laughed when I read this... I hate myself
Yet another moment where this song can make something horrible and vile hilarious.
<youtube=ZnHmskwqCCQ>

Yeah even though I hate myself for it this made me chuckle. Then this song popped into my head :/ (definately going to hell!)

[Use_Imagination_here]

This is disturbing and kind of funny at the same time.

Disturbing because he raped a fucking child over nothing, with a wiimote. Funny because read the title wrong and thought it said "12 year old raped a wiimote after being teased by a 26 year old".

But seriously, lock this man up.

 

[Frankster]

I can't imagine he was much of a winner to begin with

That would likely be the part of the cause of why the man reacted so strongly and was vulnerable to the verbal taunting of the kids.
I'd be willing to also bet big money that his choice in career was likely motivated by such insecurities, being in uniform can give a sense of power and authority you simply do not have outside of it.

 

[SH4DOWSL4Y3R]

I think this should serve as a wiiminder not to enrage man-children.

wonder if he showed any wiimorse for his actions?

 

[quantumsoul]

Why?! Why is this a real thing that happened!?

 

[bbad89]

You insinuated that being raped was somehow a good moral lesson for the kid, and you're blaming him like it his fault for being raped; and you couldn't have foreseen that that might upset some people?
The proper response to being made fun of is to ignore it, tease back, tell the parents that their child is being unreasonable, rape is neve an acceptable solution to this or any situation. It's not the kids fault, and don't act like it was.

Actually, I was honestly expecting to see a few more people saying that pre-teens are too mouthy these days.
Sorry for insinuating that. All I meant was that I hope this unfortunate incident will at least deter other pre-teens from mouthing off to adults, assuming they catch wind of this story.
And yes, I'm sure there will be plenty of people who'll say, "How dare you try to make this a best out of a bad situation when it's so awful?" But whatever. Political correctness is overrated.

Next time some kid says something stupid on the internet, I guess I have the right to go shove a motion controller up the kid's ass?

 

[Soods]

Man: "Kid, if you don't shut up right this instant, I will shove that remote up your butt. "
Kid: "Hehe, he said butt!"

And the rest is history...

 

[Okysho]

As terrifying and sickening as that was, my first thought on the situation was "Oh shit, shitstorm inbound."

ITT: People blaming the child for instigating, people blaming the adult for not being responsible, people saying both were at fault, and finally, people saying either side was awesome for different reasons.

Yep, you've summed it up quite nicely.

Rape is a despicable, horrible act, one of the worst known to mankind.
Having said that, mouthy pre-teens need to know when to shut the hell up and have some respect for their elders. Hopefully this is a lesson for everyone.

And it's posts like this that remind me of why I really hate certain elements of gamer culture. We get it, it's annoying when little kids go online and start shouting obscenities -- but it's not anywhere near as annoying as when a grown man does it. I've seen kids doing it once or twice. Adults do it all the freakin' time. Also, when it involves kids, I've had good success getting them to calm down because I'm an adult, a pre-service teacher, and I know how to get kids to listen to me. Seriously, all you guys whining about screaming pre-teens are just proving that you have no idea how to handle kids, or that you are kids yourselves. It's not /that/ difficult.

Wishing horrible things on kids because their parents are absent and you aren't mature enough to handle the situation? Yeah, that reflects well on both you and gamers as a whole[footnote]That was sarcasm, in case it wasn't clear enough.[/footnote].

Enlighten me (asking in complete earnetst) How do you handle screaming kids threatening to skull fuck your mom and yelling other incoherent obscenities at you through a mic?

Seems like even if you speak calmly to them they just keep going anyways. Does it take some sort of extra patience?

 

[CrawlingPastaHellion]

Heh, that kid's definitely gonna grow up as a PC gamer now...

 

[Avatar Roku]

Okay, people need to calm the hell down and get off my back. I'm not the dude that raped the kid, so don't take your disgust with this article out on me. All I'm saying is that I'm sick of little kids mouthing off because they know the adults can't do anything to them. Afterall, hitting them will only get you a prison sentence. And yes, it's probably the parents' fault for not raising their kids proper.
But the simple fact is that if the kid hadn't been making fun of the guy, that never would've happened. He could have avoided it.

That's the same thing as saying that a woman who was dressed provocatively was "asking for it". You NEVER blame the victim.

I'm sorry, but thats the problem right there, they end up becoming prick, does anyone remember Adolf? Well, he hated Jews, now lets just turn down the endless murders and change that to the guys who steal from old ladies then shoot their cats, then we have what happens when this lesson happens. All humans deserve respect, even just minimal amounts, but they do.

Aaaaaaand Godwin's Law. We're done here.

"Wah! people are going to blame gaming!" get some damn perspective! If this monster didn't use a wiimote he would have used something else, this thread wouldn't exist and it would have been EXACTLY as wrong. This is not our fight. This is not A fight.

If you must take action take this action: Find out what prison he's sent to and send a bunch of inmates there a wiimote along with the news article. (actually no, THAT would be worse for gaming)

Glad someone finally said that. I mean, people always go "Oh no, people will blame gaming!" for pretty much every negative article to which gaming is tangentially related, but it seems especially crass here. A boy was raped. Stop worrying about public reaction to us, we're not important here.

I really doubt the guy did it for the sexual thrill. He probably just wanted to hurt the kid in a particularly shameful way.

So assuming I'm right, I support the 26 year old. Some kids need to learn when to shut up the hard way.

No. No. Nothing justifies rape. Ever. See above on my post.

Common decency over what? A press coverage of an ALLEGED sexual crime (he's still accused,not convicted despite what the Kotakidiots might mislead you to believe) involving a certain gaming console controler?Take your PC away from the thread,last time I checked the Internet had freedom of expression,and frankly,it IS funny from certain perspectives especially the "Shut up or I'll shove that Wiimote up your ass!" angle.

I also find the Dead Baby jokes funny.Unfortunately (for) you don't get to decide what other people find tasteful,or get to shut them up.

Yes, you can say whatever you like. But that doesn't mean that you should. Freedom of expression goes both ways; you can say it, but that doesn't mean you're free from reaction to what you say.

But the simple fact is that if the kid hadn't been making fun of the guy, that never would've happened. He could have avoided it.

there is no such thing as a simple fact when it comes to rape cases. the only real fact is, if it hadn't been this kid at this time, the guy would have just attacked someone else. nobody "gets raped," sick and disturbed people rape. the guy was a time bomb and the kid should NOT be blamed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. i have been teased by many 12-year-olds before, yet they (my brother and his friends) go unraped because i am not a terrible person.

 

[intheweeds]

Maybe I will get eaten alive for this, but hear me out.

First off, if this guy raped a twelve year old (or anyone) with a Wii remote (or anything), he deserves to die in a fire under a jail. That being said, lets think about the facts for a second.

1) A kid getting raped by an adult over a video game is a great headline.

2) The parents were sleeping through this and the other kids saw it happen.

3) The only reason he was arrested is because he 'confessed' to a neighbor. So no one knew. The kids didn't say anything and the victim was obviously not as hurt as one would expect from such a violent attack.

4) The guy didn't think it was a big deal enough that he did it again the next day while sober.

Just think about the size and shape of a Wii mote. I'm sorry, but I have enough consensual ass sex to know that most adults would find that very uncomfortable if not impossible. I have a very hard time believing that a 12 year old boy was not hospitalized immediately from such an attack. There would be blood. Lots and lots of blood.

Imagine this scene:

Annoying Kid: Haha newb! You're a fag!

Adult Gamer: Shut up kid.

AK: No seriously, you fuck your dads ass!

AG: If you say one more word, this Wii mote is going up your ass.

AK: One more word!

KANCHO! [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kancho]


Sure, I don't think it was an appropriate response, but we are talking about the kind of 26 year old who enjoys playing Wii in the middle of the night with a bunch of 12 year olds, so who knows what this guy is like? I can't help but think this smacks of 'not a big deal - other adults lose minds over mention of child and butt in same sentence - someones going to jail'.

That being said, who knows whether it happened or not or how it happened if it did. I hope the investigators do a good job, that's what they are there for. I'm just saying the whole thing sounds kind of fishy to me.
