Failed to steal money to top up the game, this boy is determined to burn his neighbor's house

GAMEFINITY.ID, Tanjung Balai Karimun – Again and again, cases committed by children due to online game addiction are becoming more and more common. Some time ago we were shocked by the case of a child who drained his parents’ credit card to top up in an online game.

And yesterday, on (09/05/2021), in Candi village, Sidoarjo there was a child who had the heart to burn down his neighbor’s house because of an online game. The act of burning the house was done because the boy was annoyed because he didn’t get money from his neighbor’s house to do a top up game.

Initial Intention To Steal Neighbor’s Money

This house burning incident was initially spread by a twitter account called @bukaalter Titik. The owner of this account explained that there was a child in his village who set fire to a neighbor’s house. According to the account owner, this boy is still sitting in 2 junior high school. This incident began when the boy wanted to steal money at his neighbor’s house to be able to top up the game.

The boy had managed to enter the victim’s house secretly. When in the owner’s room, the boy did not find any money at all. Disappointed that his efforts were fruitless, the boy took the initiative to burn the victim’s mattress.

It turned out that this was not the first time the boy had burned the mattress. However, this boy had already done the same thing, fortunately in the previous incident, it was successfully extinguished so that the fire did not have time to burn the house.

Failed to Top Up Game, Even Catching Up

According to an explanation from the owner of the Twitter account @bukaalter Titik, the boy and the family in question have been evicted from the place and the child’s parents are required to compensate for the case of the house fire. And the boy who set the house on fire has also been taken away by the police.

The owner of the house that was burned at the time of the incident was out of the house and coincidentally there was an iftar event not far from the place of the fire. The witness who first learned about the fire was a girl whose house was right in front of the burning house.

According to an update provided by the relatives of the homeowner, the child is currently being held at the Sda Police juvenile prison and the trial process for this boy is still ongoing. Hopefully something like this doesn’t happen again, and parents can continue to monitor whatever their children receive.
