Life with PlayStation to tie-up with Folding@home
White Knight Chronicles "awakening soon"
Dead Space arriving in Europe earlier than expectedWhen Shannan and Joey Trojano realized that their 16-year-old son wasn’t getting good grades in high school they did what most parents do - they grounded him for weeks, banned him from watching TV and the most important part, confiscated his PlayStation 3.
Perfectly reasonable, correct? Well, apparently not so for Corey, who instead decided to have his parents killed by hiring a hitman. However, unbeknownst to him, his mother was in turn organizing a sting operation, which involved a police officer posing as the contract killer.
“Two bullets is all it takes,” is what Cory is alleged to have said. He offered his stepfather’s new truck as payment for killing his parents.
Mrs Trojano left Cory’s father when he was a little more than a year old, but by the time she remarried, her son’s behavior was getting steadily worse. He walked out of lessons in middle school, smashed fire extinguisher cases, and then broke into the county fairgrounds where he vandalized property. A judge sentenced his parents to attend no less than 36 meetings with the authorities about his behaviour.
Now, a judge has ruled that he should be tried as a juvenile, which means that he can’t be held past his 21st birthday. Mrs Trojano wanted him tried as an adult where he would of faced a much longer sentence. “He needs to understand what he did was wrong. I’m scared to death that if this kid is serious, and they put him in a three-month program, they’re going to release him to the street.”
If you ever get your PlayStation taken away by your parents then it’s obviously for a good reason. You may not appreciate it and this may sound cliché, but you should be thanking them.

Seriously? thats messed up man...
WHAT KIND OF KID DO U HAVE. I feel sorry for the parents that have 2 put up with that type of abuse
that's a fan.....too bad he gone and fvcked up right before the good games came out.....
The parents should hire a hitman to take care of that kid... d@mn
psn id: gingo..... hahaha this is crazy imagine trying to kill your parents or even step parents cos they tookaway his ps3 that seems a bit extreme lol
lol wow
That boy needs beating screw consuling. The mother is right try him as an adult.
PlayStation Nation have some dedicated followers, but I would destory my PS3 and PS2 and PSP with all the games and accessories for my mother. This kid is loco. I hope they find a nice mental home for him.
moral of the story watch your back when taking your kids favorite toys dont know how messed up in the head they can be
roflmao a true gamer.......gone bad
Gotta agree with D3v1l on this one, he speaks my mind. Obviously if the mother wanted him tried as an adult it's because she has absolutly no control at home, more than likely because she wouldn't let the step father spank his a**, it's called discipline, and fewer and fewer kids have it nowadays.
I really hate how these articles(not you PSU, but the original) make it seem like it is the PS3's fault or w/e video game system that the kid has issues. it is obvious in this case that there were serious issues w/ his upbringing to cause him to act this way.
EDIT: and to ppl saying spanking is the way...no it isn't. violence begets violence ppl. I think she should have started taking away his playstations at a much earlier age.
60. you can drive, you should get the chair, and parents should be allowed to beat their kids for this reason
combo of divorce and no spankings.
His parents should of gave him a good kicking, thats a sure way to teach him discipline.
That kid must be demented, I get my PS3 taken away a lot, that kind of SH!1T never ever came into my Mind.
Children need discipline....period! "If you spare the rod, you will spoil the child". Discipline is not abuse. And it must be done at a young age (aka "bend the tree while it is young, in the way it should grow"). A person will learn how to fight defend themselves regardless of getting spanked as a child. Bound in the heart of a child is foolishness... a child only wants whats most pleasurable, thats why you don't have to teach a kid how to steal, lie, and goof off ect. Discipline is needed. I don't feel sorry for the parents of this kid...how you make your bed is how you will have to lay in it. And yes, the child should be tried as an adult...it is obvious that he is past the stage of treating him as a child.
If your children are not cowering in a corner when you come home, then you have failed as a parent. Obviously this woman has failed.
thats one messed up kid
anyone else notice how IONIXX spelled psychologist??!!?!?!? SYCOLIGEST!!!!! WTF? to a couple of those people that said that grades don't matter (yeah...I know the main argument was about the discipline)...just look at how this tard spelled psychologist. THE END
p.s. now I feel like the tard cause I accidentally posted this under the giant heart article...(sh#t)
Yeah right, my parents are WAY to retentive to give a crap about the stuff I buy, they take it witout remorse. >_> But I woudn't kill them for it.
Thats the parents fault. He obviously isn't getting what he needs from his parents.
The boy needs love...like a very long time ago! Serious family issues there, the kid was spoilt and got what he wanted to shut him up and the parents ignored the real issues...he could be on his way to become a criminal or serial killer when he's old!!! Forget blaming gaming, it's always been in the child's head!!! Scary world we live in.
wow that kids a pretty big retard his parents probly bought him the ps3 too wow but then again it must run in the family if his parents never did anything bout his behavior / why would his mom hire a police officer to pretend to be a hitman that would just make it worse wouldnt neways bunch of retards
WHY WOULD YOU GIVE A BASTARD LIKE THAT A PS3 IN THE FIRST PLACE????!! If his parents had anysense to to beginwith he'd be lucky to even have a black and white Gameboy with retardedness like that!
lol Where do you get hitmen from anyway? Its not like you can look them up in the phone book or something stupid.. or even go out on the street and say "hey man wanna kill my parents? there's a car in it if you do". Err?
See the world is fine without playstation 3... and people say that we need it really people need to think more.
lol this kid is a bit over the head i mean i love my ps3 and all but killing my mum for it i don't think so
this kid is lucky he is not black, he would be trialed as a adult and be somebody's biatch for a long time
PS3 told him to get a hitman....not him.....The PS3 talked 2 him in his sleep....it said,"u know what u must do now....for us 2 be together!!"
Spanking your kid doesn't teach him to spank others that mistreat him, say, in school. That's just stupid. Kids need discipline, we all know this. Don't take the kid's side. He's old enough to make wise decisions. I just can't stand all this talk about "mentally ill" and s**t.
Just a big troublechild.. Just put him to jail already.
These are the kind of kids you take behind the shed and shot. how psycho are you that you're willing to off your parents just because they took away your PS3 for a 3 weeks?
I've had worse
Spanish parents don't fool around, They hand you your butt and ground you till they see fit (namely anything above a month or 2)
