In South Philadelphia, the day after Thanksgiving in 2010, a sixteen year old boy got into an argument with his mother that lasted one hour and a half. The boys mother ended up compensating his PS3 as punishment. In result, the boy waited till his mother was sleeping, beat her to death with a hammer and finished her off by trying to cremate her body with the oven stove. Realising that wouldn't work, the boy ended up dragging his mother's corpse down to an alley.
Today, at his trial, he was charged with murder, possession of an instrument of crime and abuse of corpse. All he had o say for himself was, "I couldn't stand the arguing. … If I could, I would not do it again. I really miss my mom … she was the only person who cared for me."
This story is a prime example of how people today are losing their humanity and have come to value inanimate objects so much that it leads to insane tragedies such as this one.
