‘Incredibly motivated' fourth grader takes flight Lakewood, Wash. — A nine-year-old boy with a history of stealing cars and running away sneaked onto a plane bound for Texas, getting caught after flubbing an airport connection, officials said.
Police pursued Semaj at speeds up to 144 kilometres an hour until he took an exit and the engine blew, after which the car went over a curb and coasted into a tree. He refused to come out of the car, so officers broke a window to unlock a door and immediately recognized him as a frequent runaway and car thief, Lt. Guttu said.
Last month he also crashed a stolen car before being caught by police in Tacoma, and more recently he was caught in Seattle in a stolen car that had run out of gas, said his mother, Sakinah Booker.
She believes he learned to drive from playing video games on a PlayStation.
Lets all play blame video games game. Kid has talent, its a waste that its not channeled into something more appropriate due to lack of parenting.

You can learn to drive from a Playstation? I wish I'd known that before I wasted all that time learning in an actual car.

This kid needs to be locked in the same cell as that 12 year old from the Christmas present story. At the very least, the mother needs to lose custody for being a totally incompetent parent. (assuming of course the kid isn't just a budding psychopath.)

I blame it on the auto companies. Surely they can come up with a more responsive control mechanism than dual analog sticks and a few buttons. Maybe some sort of motion sensitive device, modeled on the Wiimote. |

I suspect that would be much more realistic than the plastic seats we were made to sit in while watching someone drive a car on a projection during driver's ed in highschool. Although I doubt even PS3 graphics can import the same level of stark terror gained by watching Red Asphalt 3. |

"Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us." -SC

I'm sure he plays a lot of video games. Probably for the same reason he steals cars and sneaks across the country on airplanes. Imagination and curiosity.

I am guessing his Playstation played the role of babysitter and mentor as well. His mom sounds like a complete dipshit who is totally unprepared for parenthood. Thanks for burdening society with your progeny, <insert incredibly offensive pejorative here>. |
