Crisp recalled how Brandon loved to play sports when he was younger. He played goalie on his local hockey team, but was let go because he was shorter than the other children. After that, he got heavily into gaming.
"Children don't want to go outside and play sports. They'd rather be inside playing these things," Crisp said, referring to gaming.
Erm. Sorry, guy, I know you're a little upset and all, but please take a moment to straighten out your sense of cause-and-effect there. Clearly this was a kid who
wanted to play outside, didn't get a fair shake at it, and retreated into an obsession as a response. And when that was taken from him, he climbed up a tree (so unhealthy!) high enough to kill himself, and just so happened to do so.
The worst part is that the father was actually right to limit the kid's vidjagaming, but probably went a little over the top because of his own personal bias against it. Had the medium not been so villified in recent years he probably would have thought a little harder before yanking the bottle out of the addict's hand.
Also, he raised a kid smart and depressed enough to commit suicide basically anywhere.
