Boyfriend kills boy over playing too many videogames

Silver Mirror | August 14, 2007 | News | Misc 
Usaully its the videogamer who gets violent in these stories, but in this case it was 6 year old Sev'n Molina who got killed Sunday night. His 27 year old mother Sandra Ruiz and ex boyfriend Calvin Sharp had been arguing about among other things the boy playing to many videogames. When Sev'n ran out of the apartment and out into the courtyard Calvin followed with a meat cleaver and hacked at the boys neck shouting "die die"
The blood that stained the courtyard of the modest Thousand Oaks apartment complex had been washed away by Monday morning. In its place stood a makeshift memorial: A teddy bear and a few balloons. A Winnie-the-Pooh baby blanket. And a single rose for every year the young victim had lived.

Sev'n Molina, age 6, was hacked to death with a meat cleaver Sunday night, as his mother fought to save his life, terrified neighbors called 911 and the bravest among them tried to intervene in the grisly struggle.

Sheriff's deputies arrested Calvin Sharp, 27, and took him to Ventura County Jail, said Senior Sheriff's Deputy Julie Novak. Sharp, a self-employed cab driver, is expected to be charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder -- rare violent crimes in what regularly ranks as one of nation's safest large cities.

The harrowing attack at the Hillcrest Park Apartments began about 9:30 p.m. in the first-floor unit where the boy lived with his mother, Sandra Ruiz, 33. Sharp and Ruiz had been arguing, at least in part, about whether Sev'n spent too much time playing video games, neighbors said.

After the boy burst from the apartment into the communal courtyard, witnesses said, Sharp followed him, wielding the cleaver, and began hacking at the child's head and shouting, "Die, die!"

    And I heard that the boys mother is still going out with the boyfriend. How could they do something like that? There is another related death in the Grep news also, a Teenager killed his brother for taking away his xBox. How sad is that? I mean, would you kill your sibling if they took away your Wii? No.

        Second degree murder of a minor, 6 year old at that, life in prison or death row.

        He's not in jail yet, his court case is later this month I think.
        =/ But you can still love someone from prison you know, Volacide.

        I was sure you'd know. =]

    Another sick twisted horrible story which I can't bring myself away from because of curiosity. The story about the teen burning down his house was bad but it's much worse when a man kills a boy. Deary deary me.

    This is sad, the boy lost his life because of the insane man and I doubt the man still goes out with the mother.

    This horrible. He was just taking out his anger on him for no reason.

    How is playing to much videos worse than trying to kill a kid and screaming "die" at him?

    I think that's worse than a video game

    She needs to dump him sooo badly. But I have never heard of any insane *bleep*er who would kill a 6 year old with a meat cleaver? Holy crap.

    This is just sick. At first I thought that the part about the man running after the kid and hacking him to death while screaming "Die, die" was just a joke :S

    I think they were doing this by trying to make us afraid to play video games in fear our parents will murder us. They are just sick.

    I'm shocked after reading that, how could a grown man do such a horrific thing to a young child? It's really sickening.

    Well we know now its not cause of games, its cause the person is crazy, and so is the mother. Who still goes out with that murderer.

    Disgusting people in the world today...Hacked him up with a meat cleaver just because he played video games? They bought the damn things for him, so if it was really that guy's concern, he would have taken the game away so the kid could have a break and get some exercise or something.

    This is horrible but I kind of giggled while reading this.

    I hope it is the late night/morning who is causing me to be this cold.

    That's....ghoulish...Ghastly....What could compel a person to completely eviscerate a six year old kid with a meat cleaver?!

    They say it's video games.... And if it is, someone should tell Jack Thompson.

    That's really sad. I think the boyfriend should get the death sentence for something like that.

    Although I can't really agree with the death sentence for anyone usually, this is just one time I can't say "this person doesn't deserve the death sentence". The guy is off his *bleep*ing rocker to do that. Just cause the kid liked doing something, he was killed for it and it was something as harmless as playing video games. It's a pity, the kid never had a real chance at life. I say kill that mofo.

    The death penalty is lame. I say let him rot in jail for the rest of his life.

    Personally, if I had to choose between getting the death penalty or life in prison, I'd go for the death penalty.

    That guy deserves to be chased and hacked with a meat cleaver for doing that to his girlfriend's kid! What has the world come to?
