Teen Kills Father Over Myspace

This story came out a few weeks ago, but I just found out about it.

A teenager who confessed to killing his father last month told police he hated his dad for taking away his Internet access, according to a police report released Wednesday.

Hughstan Schlicker, 15, called 911 on Feb. 6 and told the dispatcher he had just shot his father in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun.

“I hate my dad, couldn’t take it anymore,” he said, according to the report.

Schlicker told police his father had taken away his Internet access after seeing suicide threats the teen had posted on social networking Web site MySpace.com. Schlicker said he often spent entire days on MySpace and couldn’t cope when his father cut off his access to the site.

Schlicker said that on the day of the shooting, he called in sick from school by faking his father’s voice.

At one point during the day, Schlicker said, he went to the garage to get a drink and found his father’s shotgun and ammunition lying on the counter.

Schlicker said he took the gun to his room, intending to kill himself in front of his father when his father arrived home. He later changed his mind and decided to kill his father first, then kill himself, according to the police report. Schlicker expressed remorse during a police interview, telling detectives “I wish I didn’t do this,” and “I miss Dad.”

Schlicker was charged with first-degree murder and will be tried as an adult.

** How sad is this? Killing your dad over myspace?! It’s just tragic. I’m speechless.
