Shame it wasn't Eastenders as I'd rather that be banned, the money wasted on that can ensure a second series of the Fades, the long-term future of being human or even something more intellectual like Total Wipeout.
Although to be more serious I don’t get how the two main soaps get away with some of their violence before the watershed.

Blaming TV Shows and Video Games is an excuse. This kid at this age should know better than to kill someone.
Why can't some people just take personal responsibility for their actions instead of blaming everybody and everything else?

I thought this was going to be about a guy who kills children; not a killer who's a child.
Anyway, when it comes to incidents like this, I always wonder if the TV show drove the suspect to killing someone, or if the suspect had already wanted to commit murder and obtained the method from the TV show.
In this case, it looks like the kid already had homicidal intentions and simply decided to go through with it using what he saw on TV. Thus, I don't think the show should be held liable in any way.

Why can't some people just take personal responsibility for their actions instead of blaming everybody and everything else? Because he wants leniency. It's like the classic of a guy killing both his parents, then asking the judge to take mercy on him because he's an orphan. |

There was an incident like this years ago where a kid killed his mom with a bat and planned to kill more, and he said Evangelion made him do it.
