For more than three weeks, the parents had made almost daily pleas for the return of the boy whom they had described as being addicted to the popular video game Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

In fact, it was the video game that led to the boy running away on Thanksgiving Monday. Because the game was affecting his school work and social life, the parents confiscated his Xbox console.

When Brandon threatened to run away that day, his father helped him pack his knapsack and let him leave.

The father said he assumed his son would be back hours later or, at worst, the next day.

But the boy vanished.

Police and volunteers combed the Barrie area and eventually, computer giant Microsoft relaxed its privacy protocols to help police determine the online players Crisp had communicated with while playing the video game. But there were no clues.

The OPP received a call at 10:18 a.m. yesterday, reportedly from a group of deer hunters, alerting them to the discovery of human remains near the Fourth Line in Oro-Medonte Township, northeast of Barrie.

Of course, but video games are an easy scapegoat.

Man if you saw the **** they made on 4chan about this kid you couldn't help but laugh.

Yeah I saw the one where they put the Xbox achievement thing over his graduation card...which I'm going to hell for laughing at...but it's sad at the same time. People need to learn how to get help.

No, man. You don't want them to get help. Let Darwinism run its course. Slows overpopulation just a bit more.

I feel like playing Cod now.
