Final Fantasy XIII-2 Brain Blast quiz walkthrough
18 hours 50 mins ago
Some people predicted it, others wished it but either way it has happened. The boy who apparently ran away after being banned off his console for playing too much Call of Duty 4 has been found dead on the Fifth Line in the Barrie area. There are few details at this point, but police are convinced it is Brandon Crisp, it is mentioned he was found by hunters, but that is merely a rumor at this point.
Police have found the body of missing Barrie-area boy Brandon Crisp... He was found on Fifth Line in the Barrie area...
A massive search was underway for the teen in Shanty Bay on the Oro Medonte Rail Trail, just outside of Barrie, since his disappearance on Thanksgiving Day.
Last week, a second witness confirmed seeing Crisp on the trail the night he disappeared.

Kids..dont run away.
THINK BEFORE YOU COMMENT. INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS WILL LEAD TO BANS
Just makes it worse that he died over a computer game.
I was actually hoping this kid would be found alive and learn his lesson.
His dad packed his son's bags when the kid threatened to run away. He literally packed his bags. The kid called the bluff in what I'm sure was him feeling like shit for thinking his dad was okay with him leaving. What lesson could this kid have learned in going back to that
Well i hope that his father is feeling like a sack of crap right now knowing that he caused his sons death.
Steve called his sons bluff and even helped him pack his knapsack.
I really thought he would be home later that day with his tail between his legs, said Steve, who remembers running away from home once when he was a boy.

There is no doubt the father is feeling like the ultimate piece of shit right now. All the articles up on this kid make him seem as though he was obsessed with games or whatever.... *bleep* that, HE WAS A KID, he liked video games. I can't believe some of the comments people are having against the kid being just a kid
I'm sure his dad feels terrible because his kid is dead, but to blame him is ridiculous.
You are quite simply a moron. A kid can be a kid, but skipping school, stealing money, falling from a straight A student, not going outside. That is not being a kid. That is an addiction. By all means the kid can play games, but when it becomes an addiction it has to be stopped. Let the kid log on a couple hours a night. Heck, even longer on weekends. But during the summer and whatnot he's still gotta go outside, he still has to fulfill his duties.
The parents had every right to take the thing away, and in no way is it their fault. I don't blame them, or necessarily the kid. The kid did over-react in running away. But that still isn't a reason to wish him dead or to say "he got what was coming to him." I really feel for the parents and hope that they can cope and get on with their lives eventually.
Maybe this is what I'm reacting to most of all, how people are commenting this way. However, no need to call me a complete idiot for taking the other side. No matter how bad the kid is, this does not excuse the father for packing the kids bags. Sorry you had to insult me to get a point across.
I agree that the kid needed discipline, however hearing that father has taken the games away from the kid over 20 times means.. he sure wasn't stern at all (you can easily read it as though he gave the kid back his games 20 times).
Tragic? Yes. Unfortunate? Most definitely. However, seeing as I don't know them well enough to feel any sadness, can't say I really give a shit. Sorry.
A woman by the name of Marjorie Capehart died today in Evansville, Indiana. Are you going to feel bad for her too?
Edit: What Raziel said.
Remorse, sadness, whatever, no need to feel it. But give some respect at the least.
In fact, Raziel technically did give respect by acknowledging this was a tragic and unfortunate event. He doesn't have to care, really.
Gotta feel for the parents, Worst outcome.
I can't believe some of you would actually think that.
What he did was stupid, and yes he should've been punished for what he did but it still doesn't change the fact that this family is torn apart.
Does it say how he died?? I read it but it doesn't specified.
Who knows maybe he was kidnapped....
In any case I feel very bad for the parents, I too recently lost someone, so I know how it feels to lose a loved one.
Hope the parents can get over there grief and pain.
Sad story. Seems like Brandon had quite the unhealthy addiction to CoD 4 as well.
I'm shocked to see people acting as if the father made a mistake though, he called a bluff and he may have been right. who knows when it all went wrong for the kid? Once again, I bet he feels awful for it. The last thing he would need right now, is some people on Game Grep telling him he should feel like shit.
I'm a bit confused though, it says he was missing since Thanksgiving. So has it really been nearly a year since he left? Surely, after a year away, he'd come back and try to make things up. There really couldn't have been much hope for this ending well.
I understand what you mean, and I fully agree. It's just like when you shoe shopping and they don't have the size you want. Instead of apologizing and telling you they don't have your size, they offer you the closest thing they could get...as if you'd chop off your toes for the shoes or something.
We all know Peds are out there, not only on the internet but there were several cases were they also used xbox live to get what they want.
Maybe he argued with his parents about the game and played it alot just to be with him.
Sounds wierd I know but Peds have done much wierder stuff just to get in bed with a kid.
Who knows, maybe he ran to him, decided to hold out for a day or 2 and once he was ready the pedophile didn't want him to go....
This is simply a theory but it makes much more sense than just randomly running away because he can't play a video game and the just randomly showing up dead.
THAT makes no sense.
........then again most of the world doesn't make sense anymore -.-
The kid's an idiot for leaving for such an non-motivational cause, but I can't help but feel sorry for him and his family. I suppose it's human instinct telling me "ah, gee, a fully capable kid is dead now. That sucks." But in any case, I feel condolences for his friends and family, for sure. I'm sure times must be hard for them right now. Especially the family; I'm sure they're beating themselves up for taking the video game away from him.
I even said that this event was a tragedy and a misfortune. The parents have my respects, I feel sorry for the kid, but honestly, I don't have to feel sadness or remorse for him, shit like this happens almost EVERYDAY. I have much more important things to worry and care about in my life than crying over some random person on the news I didn't know. Boo *bleep*ing hoo, he's dead, heads down, moment of silence, then life moves on.
Just because you didn't know him or his family, you feel you shouldn't feel any sympathy just because he did something that you deem stupid?
It's people like you I have no sympathy for.You are a worthless excuses for human beings.
If there was still a thumbs down, I would VERY GLADLY embrace any amount of negative thumbs I would receive by all you immature heartless idiots.For it's people like you who make me at times think the human race doesn't deserve to exist.
You don't have to break down and cry, but at least show some damn respect.
My point? Everyone in here, will be living their lives like it never happened. With perhaps a vague memory here or there. That includes people who empathize with the kid and those who do not.
So tell me, if people who aren't saddened by this today are useless excuses for human beings. What does that make you? You're some sort of paragon for feeling empathetic for a day? Please...
I'm amazed at the ferociousness of people on GG about this though . . . On one side you have the jerks who say "I don't care, I don't feel for the lousy kid who didn't appreciate his family" Then there's the ones who are the direct opposites and say "The kid just wanted to be a kid and shouldn't have been punished no matter what he was doing." I suppose it's the edgy competitive nature most gamers have?
I didn't know this kid or his family. However, it still really gets to me. I feel for the family, so much. I've had to deal with deaths and tragedies so many times in my own personal life. Then, as a counselor I deal with it even more in others' lives.
Yes, people die all the time, kids die every day. No one person is more important than the other in these cases. However . . . that simple fact still should never negate the tragedy of any person's death. Especially that of a child . . . someone who didn't even get to be fully raised by parents, to grow up and mature to the point of making better decisions (in this case, decisions that would have kept him from dying), or to learn. These cases really make people wish they could do it all over again, to do things differently. Yet you can't.
My prayers for this family, and the community.
But with that said though, I do understand what you're saying and agree to a point, but I have my own issues and drama to deal with, don't really need any more.
I could feel like ending it all and I would still bother with others problems and for a few moments at least, forget all my problems.
We are talking about a kids death, I feel that almost no problem is worse off than that.
Take me for instance, my shyness and anxiety keeps me at home nearly my entire life (but I am working on fixing that) and my life is seriously stuffed up because of it.
But that is NOTHING compared to a couple losing a child at such a young age or many of the other MASSIVE worldly problems.When I think of those things, I realise that my problems are rather pathetic compared to them.
People, we have our OWN lives and our OWN family, friends and loved ones to worry about. I'm not going to add more drama in my life for someone I don't know. I will give my respects and my moment of silence, that's all you really need to do. What happen to the kid was tragic, of course he didn't deserve this, no kid that age does, who the hell ever said anything about this kid deserving this as a punishment?! You can care and cry for the kid all you want, I really don't care if you do or not. If you're a soft hearted person, so be it, we don't have to be like you to be a "morally good" human being. Just because you do doesn't mean the rest of the world does. We feel sorry for the kid, but we have our OWN shit to deal with.
EDIT: And on another note, if people don't feel sympathy for the kid, so *bleep*ing what? Just let them be. It's their own feelings and their own opinions.
Then I continued on to state my own feeling on the issue. It wasn't an attack on anyone's post or anything. So don't get so defensive Raz. If you didn't say what I quoted, then why should you feel it was directed at you? It'd be different if I said your name and claimed you said that thing, but I didn't.
I don't expect people to add this boy's death to their own problems in life. Heck I have more problems and issues I have to face every single day than most people face in a lifetime. My job doesn't make things easier either
But can the others say the same thing?
That's exactly what I'm talking about.My problems are nothing compared all that.I can fix my problems.
So, sadly, I gotta say "that sucks" and move on with my life.
However, even if I wanted nothing more than to help the family, what could I do? There's really nothing anyone can do. Just let them be alone with their grief.
I'm still not happy with those who have an "I don't care attitude" though.
If we're gonna keep replying to this, maybe it's best to just remember this before pressing the post comment button.
I feel extremely sorry for the family. None of us were in the household; none of us truly know the circumstances of his actions. Whether the boy was in the wrong or otherwise, I still hope he R.I.P and, to cater for the religious amongst us, hope he accends to heaven.
Its the parents who carry the biggest scar. I truly hope the family is getting support through this time.
And I would personally consider this our online funeral for the boy, if you will. Therefore can we please reduce the number of arguments? Should be to show respect and sympathy for the parents. Private message your arguments if you will. Im not telling you, im just asking you..
Now I'm REALLY curious about the cause of death.
With that said, its pretty sad news nonetheless.
But I know what you mean, many unfortunately are spoiled. And it hurts them more in the end as they grow up.
