14 DAY TRIAL // It has been a while since people and scientists started to blame the gaming industry. Actually, these are the times when everybody tries to find proofs that video games are the reason for all the bad things that happen in this world. Right now, we have another story: the real life. It's about a 4 year-old boy who was peacefully playing a Nintendo game and got his hand burned by a man because he refused to stop.
Yes, everybody knows how addictive video games can sometimes get and, even though some might disagree with the image of a 4 year-old playing video games, there definitely are better ways to make somebody stop playing. Well, Alan Sergio Bautista-Gallegos, even though he's only 20 years old and probably knows a thing or two about video games, had a monstrous reaction: he burned the boy's arm!
Bautista-Gallegos, a Mexican also charged with assaulting the child's mother (unspecified reasons) and for using fake documents to enter the United States from Mexico, got angry when the poor little kid ignored his demands to stop playing a Nintendo video game. So he took the boy by using force and then held his arm to a lighted burner on a gas stove inside an apartment.
As Courier-Post say, the boy was treated at Cooper University Hospital for second-degree burns on his left wrist and forearm. Also, the personnel from the hospital reported that the boy had bruises on his side and back and scrapes on his cheek and forehead, caused by Bautista-Gallegos.
Well, now, it's a pretty harsh punishment for a little boy who was enjoying his video game. But that's how some people act, even during this time of the year.
Alan Sergio Bautista-Gallegos is being held on an $150,000 bail in jail, awaiting trial. Hopefully, he will learn a thing or two after this incident.
