Penny Arcade has a letter from the stepmother of one of the kids who was recently charged with killing a homeless man. Her article is an extremely sobering tale of the problems dealing with troubled teen. She explains how, in this situation, the parents did everything they possibly could. And, in a refreshing twist, she absolves the games industry of any blame for the tragedy these kids perpetrated.
This is a great read that shows just how well of a job the media does in twisting any story to point the blame directly at video games. The womans letter is almost difficult to read without getting angry.
