Oh no! Games cannot influence children! It just can't happen.
I guess only TV can?!
Anybody know if he was a legal/illegal resident of Texas?
Sad, but children WILL replicate what they see!

I don't see why you would ask if his residency was illegal or not. The fact of the matter is a child was killed, why should him being legal or illegal matter?
Also, I do think there is some degree of influence on children in regards to tv/video games. But you can't just shove all the blame on it. I think this is a case of terrible parenting. I find it messed up that the parents would allow the child to even watch the video footage of Saddam's execution. I find it more messed up that they didn't even take the time to explain and tell them what had just transpired.
There is a chance of children replicating what they see, but that is the whole point of parenting. To make sure your kids don't go about doing incredibly stupid shit.
