20 dicembre 'Mortal Kombat' Blamed In Death Of A 7-Year OldA 7 year old girl has died via physical abuse from her older sister and respective boyfriend. The girl died from blunt force trauma to her brain and central nervous system, she suffered over 20 bruises, a broken wrist, her neck muscles were bleeding and a skin flap near her tongue were torn. The alleged killers aged 16 and 17 were arrested and charged on Tuesday with the sister telling investigators they were acting out moves picked up from Mortal Kombat.
Two Teens, 17-Year, Leonard Roberts and 16-Year old, Maria Trujillo, have Been Charged in the Death of the Girl's 7-Year Old Sister. According to Various Sources, they were Either Playing 'Mortal Kombat' at the Time or Simply Re-Enacting Moves from the Game. If it's the Latter, the Identity of whoever Linked 'MK' to the Death -- Either the Accused Themselves or some Outside Observer -- is Never Made Clear.
An Actual Link to the Game is Even more Ambiguous. According to 'C|Net News', Trujillo Alleged she was "Playing 'Mortal Kombat'" with her Sister and it's Unclear if that's a Misspelling or the Sisters' Name for their General Roughhousing. The Same Report also Mentioned that Roberts was Downstairs Playing Videogames, While the Incident Occurred Upstairs, according to an Affidavit: Another Article by the 'Denver Channel' said they, "were wrestling as they always do, karate kicking, punching and kicking", Implying that the Behavior is Perpetual and Perhaps Not Related to the Game. Of course, Labeling it the "Mortal Kombat" Death Makes for an Admittedly Catchy Headline. (An Article from the 'Rocky Mountain News' Abstained from Mentioning the Game in its Headline, although a Broken Link on their 'Most Viewed' Sidebar, Indicates they May Have Once Named it, "'Mortal Kombat' tragedy".) : What's Disturbing for us is that, while an Unverified Link to Videogames, Makes it into the Headline, Noting that Roberts was Drunk at the Time Gets Lost in Either the Middle or Very End of the Articles we Read. Shouldn't we be Worried about an Intoxicated 17-Year Old just as Much as we are in his Gaming Habits ? (For International Readers, the Legal Drinking Age in the US is 21.) Sure, Underage Drinking and Stupidity is Not as New of a Hot-Button Issue as Videogames, but Shouldn't we Try to Present All the Pertinent Facts with Appropriate Prominence ?
