I hope that Steve Crisp, father of Brandon Crisp, the Canadian boy who died of injuries after running away from home, is proud of himself.
Worried about his son’s “obsession” with his XBox, Crisp took the gaming console away. So far, so good.
When Brandon threatened to run away, though, Crisp crossed the line from responsible parent to irrational control freak: he helped the kid pack. As he put it, “I really thought he would be home later that day with his tail between his legs.”
Tough. Macho. Good job, Steve-o. I hope you rot in hell.
