Title: Young Boy Dies Imitating Naruto
Post by: Eurobeat King on March 10, 2008, 08:06:51 PM
(not sure if such a thread was made already or not, sorry if it was)

I saw a thread on the SakuraCon website forums about this tragedy that happened today, about a boy who died because his friends buried him in the sand, copying the Sand Ninjas in Naruto  You can watch the news clip here:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=wTeiIOeBk9g

The clip shown said he was in critical-condition, but he later died.  Here's the news-report:

http://www.komotv.com/news/16479676.html

It's a tragedy, but now it's another case where anime is blamed because of kids trying to imitate what they see on tv.. *sigh*

Oh My God!  I feel bad for the kids family..but seriously.  Don't blame the show because the kid was doing something stupid!  People have been burying their loved ones in the sand for DECADES at the beach...now it's because of Naruto that it's become lethal.

Like I said, I feel bad for the family.  No one should lose a child.  However, I don't think Naruto has anything to do with it.  Gotta love the media.

well Naruto is the cause if you think about it, when the show jackass came on tv loads of kids tried to copy it and either got hurt or killed.

Its so sad really
kids are easily prone to belive things on tv sometimes and think oh hey its cool and try to do it too

very shocking news.

Had this feeling that kids might do something crazy things after watching anime just like violent and crazy shows.  I would teach my kids NEVER imitate things on TV.

 its sad when kids do things like that i feel sorry for the family too
think of this too parents are going to want Naruto off the air because of it :-[
remember what happened at V-tech the guy had imitated "old boy" and after they stopped shelving that movie so it was near impossible to find
well what im saying its not the shows or the Tvs fault  its just another way for parents to blame something for thier bad parenting

My condolences goes to the family.  Such a tragic loss indeed.

Honestly, a lot of families and guardians need to assist their kids the differences between fantasy and reality.  It is true that kids will grow up absorbing knowledge of what they have access to.  However, that does not mean we shouldn't be preemptive to the potential cause like this one.  Blaming shows or any form of media will only limit the choices of what producers can release to the public.

It's suck a tragic event... poor child.

But I do question, where was the adult supervision as the kids were playing? Trying not to sound offensive, but if there was some kind of parent or guardian to watch over the kids, then this probably wouldn't happen.

I really do hope they don't blame the show (which will most likely happen regardless). This is hard to word without sounding mean (blame the internet and how a person can misinterpret a post) but the parents or whomever was supposed to be watching the kids playing is at fault. They should know that you can't blame a show for your child's lack of knowledge/common sense. As stated by someone earlier, they soak up everything they see/watch/whatever so if ya don't teach your kids the difference between something fictional versus the real world, then stuff like this happens. They're supposed to teach them that you shouldn't copy everything you see because things don't happen exactly like on tv/movies.

I really hope the family is are doing well though. My condolences to them and that they may get through this loss.

Yeah, this goes back to the media finding a blame... and sadly it's Naruto. Although I don't watch it, I do sympathize for the anime industry because the parents who blame them don't have the common sense to watch their children.

This is just... horrible. My condolences.

But no, the show isn't really to blame. With that mentality, that's why people are trying to shelter children from media that most of us and the people before us had grown up with-- also, how Jack Thompson is strongly against violent videogames because he feels that violence and poor behavior are influenced by it. As for Jackass, there's a warning that tells people that they're professionals and that things shown within it shouldn't be imitated.

See, people would assume that the children wouldn't know any better because they're children, but if you look back to how most people were in 5th grade, they would know that burying people in sand probably isn't a good idea. The parents had the responsibility to teach their kids what's right and what's wrong, along with being able to supervise them to know that they won't do anything dangerous.

So what it comes down to is... watch your damn kids.

What an idiot.  The kids, and the parents.  I've said it once and I will say it again, some people should not be allowed to have children.  Its not the shows fault at all, and I dont feel bad for the family.  Just the same that I dont feel bad when someone at schooled died for beind drunk on the weekend and getting in an accident.  Stupid decisions.

My thoughts, parents should have thought the kids whats right and whats wrong.  All of them.

In the end less stupid people around :D

You basically said what everyone else had said, and came down with the same conclusion. Kids do stupid things, and their parents should've known better as to supervise them. If they had, it probably wouldn't have ended the way it did.

But as for saying that they shouldn't have children? Man, that makes you calling other people stupid pretty darn ironic.

It is really tragic, and it does come down to "the parents should've done a better job of supervising their children", but at the same time, it shouldn't be said that they shouldn't have them just because this had happened. If it was blatantly obvious that they shouldn't have children like, if they didn't want children or if they were incapable of providing a good home for them, which these people could, then I'd understand.

It's tough being a parent, and the parents aren't capable of supervising their children 24/7, and hope that they're mature enough to play on their own, especially in their own backyard. You can't expect them to watch them all the time, they can't follow them to school, or be with them every minute-- had they been there at the right time while supervising them, they could've prevented it. Kids just like doing stupid things, and while they should know better, it isn't really their fault, either.

The kids probably wouldn't tried burying him, anyway. The parents, if they were there, would either stop them, or unbury him as soon as possible. It's easy to put the blame on someone, and they probably already feel terrible about it and think it's their fault. It's not an act of stupidity, rather irresponsibility and really bad timing.

Its not about parents being there all the time for their kids.  Is teaching the kids right from wrong.  If they havent, then either themselves or someone who has some with commen sense watch them, in all truth and reality I dont care how old the kid is.  Just because they've reached an age doesnt mean they know what is right.  An example is why you hear every year from people going to prom and dying because they were drunk driving.  If the parents dont have the time to teach the kids nor have someone who can, then yes they shouldnt have kids.  Reason because they dont have time to teach them values, morals, and all the good stuff that people should know, otherwise you bring idiots into the world and we all know we need less of them :D

Saying that people shouldn't have children based on this incident is extremely close-minded. My friend had told me that there was an incident where a man set his child down for 10 minutes, and came back to find it dead without warning-- are you to say that this man shouldn't have children and automatically blame him for poor parenting? People automatically find something to blame, but had you been in that position, that's just unjust. Don't tell me you wouldn't even leave your child alone in a safe place for 10 minutes, because that's just a lie.

As tragic as this was, it was still an accident. You can't automatically assume that the parents were bad parents and neglecting their responsibility to teach their children morals, what's dangerous and what isn't. Kids People do stupid things, regardless of age, because they choose to. If you think about it, I'm sure a good majority of those kids that died while drinking and driving were told not to drink at all by their parents, but do you expect them to listen just because their parents had told them not to?

And you're right about this one thing-- if they don't have time to teach their children and raise them to grow efficiently, then they shouldn't have children. I've said this. But again, you can't assume that they didn't do this, as this was an article on their child's DEATH and not his life story. From what it sounded like from the article, his family provided him with a good amount of love and care, and staying by his side on his deathbed the entire time.

The should've done a better job supervising them, and if they did, the chances of it ending the way it did would've been lowered.

That's the question: "Where were the parents to supervise these kids??"   >:(    You hear about kids drowning in swimming-pools and how parents need to keep a closer eye on them.  Perhaps the parents of these kids thought that 1-foot (thick) of sand wouldn't be harmful.. guess again..

Bad parental-supervision in this case reminds me of the infamous-breakdancing video which has a shocking ending:

The average parent would acknowledge the risks of a swimming pool and never leave their young children unsupervised, unless their children are trained swimmers-- and even then, supervision is still advised. The average person wouldn't think a sandbox would cause much harm, however. You buy a sandbox for your kids to play in the backyard, and chances are, you probably won't think of the dangers of a widdle sandbox. Anything in house can be made dangerous-- anything. The parents happened to be in the house, but they were closeby enough for the other children to rush to them when they discovered something was wrong. The parents were just too late.

The blame ultimately comes down to them lacking responsibility at the right time, but it's saddening how the cases always result in people in disgust, then assuming that it was poor parenting when it isn't necessarily the case all the time. If you want to change the scale a bit, it was the fault of the children's, then another notch, it was Cody himself to blame. In another light, people could blame Naruto, or specifically, Gaara. It's the same for other cases, and reactions are even more ludicrous-- like implying the parents that had babies that resulted in crib-death was a result of poor-parenting. They're to blame because of their genetic material, but is it moral to say it was truly their fault? It's all a matter of opinion, really. This one's mine, and I sympathize to an extent.

QuoteBad parental-supervision in this case reminds me of the infamous breakdancing video which has a shocking ending:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=8kChDiQVAAE

Again you have to ask "why didn't the mom keep the child with her at ALL times??"   

Haha, I'm hoping/assuming you're being sarcastic here. That, as horrible as it is, was pretty amusing. For those that take it seriously, the mother had her supervised as to had been right there to rush towards her child immediately when it happened, so she most likely was calling for her child not to run off anyway. Parents can only watch over their children so much-- it's really up to the child to decide whether or not to listen.

Jun: Yeah, I posted the video because, like the accident with the young boy, seeing (or hearing or reading) incidents like these can make those learn about it feel different kinds of emotions.  People might find it amusing, depressing, enraged, etc.  It varies.. 

Also, I looked up the video of another kid playing with Naruto figures that was featured in the news segment entitled "Sand Ninjas"

Haha @ the top comment on the vid.

"Obviously sand is a potential danger to all kids in America. We must remove all the sand from the schools, from the beach and everywhere. Oh, and since there's a lot of sand on Irak and Afghanistan, we should go there and remove all the sand too.
Ha ha, hilarious how people blame this on Naruto, and not in the kids being stupid and burying his friend on the sand. LOL."

when legitimately accidents or really bad blunders happen. then ppl die. See Darwin Awards.

There's a follow-up news video that aired after the boy died:

Like I said before, you feel different emotions when you watch something like this.  Some may feel sad, others might feel angry or confused like that one woman "Why would they bury their friend head-first into sand??"

Me, I'm trying not to laugh at the newscaster's pronunciation of Naruto, as he calls it "Narutoo Sand Ninjas"   ;D  Sometimes I wish the news-people would do more research about anime before they try to pronounce it for the public to hear..

Avoided through adult supervision, avoided by not letting the child be influenced so harshly by shows, avoided by common sense.

When it comes down to it, Naruto has nothing to do with this. It's the child's upbringing that determines the level of gullibility, not the other way around.

Yes, it's a sad event. But blaming the medium, not the person, is absolutely illogical.

I've got a friend, and his name is Darwin?

All I gotta say on this is this...

Now if parents had a clue and actually monitored their children and what they watch then they would have learned the following about Naruto.

Anime: Naruto
Genres: action, comedy, drama, fantasy
Themes: ninja
Age rating: TEENAGERS (May contain bloody violence, bad language, nudity)

HELLO!!! It is rated for teenagers and the kids that were copying Naruto were 10!?!? So WHO is really to blame? WHO let's a 10 year old watch something meant for teenagers?!?!?

"Obviously sand is a potential danger to all kids in America. We must remove all the sand from the schools, from the beach and everywhere. Oh, and since there's a lot of sand on Irak and Afghanistan, we should go there and remove all the sand too.
Ha ha, hilarious how people blame this on Naruto, and not in the kids being stupid and burying his friend on the sand. LOL."
...declare war on Sand?

I say we gather up all of that blasphemous sand and put it in a compactor that'll crush all of it into glass.  glass should be more useful than sand.

This is terrible. I would like to think a 5th grader could be trusted in a 1 ft deep sandbox without supervision  but apparently not. I feel so bad for his family, they must feel absolutely horrible when really this was just an unfortunate accident. The media does a good job of making Naruto look like a sadistic cartoon that will influence your children to bury one another alive but this is not the time or place to go into that.

Thanks for posting.

The kid was stupid to ask friends to bury him head first and the parents should've been supervising the kids since they're only 10.

I don't know about you but I had enough common sense to not bury myself at 10 years old.

Well that's you everybody's different. And 10 is still a very young age and it's better being safe than sorry.

Well in my grade school, 1st graders to 8th graders were essentially given benefit of the doubt during recess.  during recess we had 3 yard duty adults for like 120 students. so yeah... maybe common sense isn't as easy to obtain as it used to be.

Oh man, considering I hate Naruto, this kind of makes my day ;D

But also, I feel bad for the kid, to have to have died. Though he shouldn't always copies what he sees on tv x__X Not that I blame media but also blame the stupid kid.

well Naruto is the cause if you think about it, when the show jackass came on tv loads of kids tried to copy it and either got hurt or killed.

Its so sad really
kids are easily prone to belive things on tv sometimes and think oh hey its cool and try to do it too

I'm sorry, but naruto IS NOT the cause. naruto is for an audience of at least 12 years old, and they have warnings about the content of the tv show. same goes for Jackass, they have a long intro about how noone should reinact the stunts performed. It's their own fault.

That's what I warned the CN guys about weeks before this event but did they listen? NOOOO!!!

I told them "ya know do you think that some kid will try to do their own Sand Jutsu like OHHH lets say Garra's 'Sand Coffin?"

They laughed.

What's next? A kid trys to do Sasuke's fire ball jutsu and the Lysol can and lighter blows up in his face.
