19 September 2015, Pattaya, Thailand – The son of a senior Pattaya policeman died after shooting himself during an argument with his father over household chores.
Tosawat Boonrod, 21, shot himself through the ear with the service pistol belonging to his father, Pol. Sen. Sgt. Maj. Anupap Boonrod, chief of Pattaya traffic police, at their three-story Soi Prapanimit 1 townhouse Sept. 19, according to his parents.
He succumbed to his injuries later at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya.
Anupap told police and rescuers responding to the shooting that he had sternly reprimanded his son for spending all his time playing Internet games and not helping his mother around the house and in their first-floor mini-mart.
He said he "later changed clothes and left his gun on a table. The two then got into another argument, during which Tosawat picked up the pistol and shot himself."
His panicked mother threw the gun out the window and it was taken by passing teenagers.
Police are still investigating while also trying to locate the traffic cop's gun.

Toxic abusive parents like this can do everyone a favor by not having kids (their unwilling hostages) in the first place. This was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Who knows how much verbal (and possibly physical) abuse they inflicted on the son over two decades suffered. Screaming/swearing at your children and telling them they're good for nothing, worthless, won't amount to anything, isn't tough love, it's abuse. If you can't be a positive, calm and loving force around your children then don't have them.

The worst thing is how victims of this abuse want to pass it on. The "I went through it, so should you" mentality is truly evil

Who pulled the trigger TV though? Not the dad that's for sure. He gave him the gun yea… but it was the kids decision to pick it up, put it to his head, and squeeze the trigger releasing a bullet directly into his brain. Kid ultimately pulled trigger. Don't blame daddy for calling kiddos bluff. A downvote = you agree. Same with an upvote.

"Who shot up the school really? I mean sure, It was the FBI's idea to give my son a M4A1 and told him to go wild with it, even though they knew he had multiple mental disorders and wanted to kill people, It was the kid who went into the school and done did it!!!!11!! Don't blame the government for grooming my child, giving him a firearm, and telling him to shoot up his school, since he ultimately pulled the trigger."

it was an impulsive move on the kid's part. the dad is the adult in that situation. I would never hand a kid a loaded gun while we were arguing. it's surprising he didn't shoot his dad.

THE SON PROBABLY SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION AND THE GAMES HELPED HIM COPE WITH THE DAY.

Games put him in a depressed situation. Depression isn't a cold you can catch, its a reaction to living a shit life as a loser.
Edit: shocker, fat dork gamers don't like being called out for their fake depression. Downvote away, That'll make your life better. Or is it the latest WOW expansion?

Games are in majority of cases an escape from something that actually causes depression. It's easy to get gratification there, in contrast to shitty social life / shitty family life / money problems.
Gaming and other less healthy, more socially acceptable coping mechanisms ( smoking, drinking, porn ) do not work in the long run and can turn into addiction that drags you down even harder. At some point you have to address the real cause of depression, even if it's not your fault. Life is not fair, especially abroad the couple of first world countries.
Humans are just fucking cruel.

video games is likely his coping mechanism... the dad took it and now he got nothing to turn back into... it was his safe place. His family is def abusing him to the point that he would rather spent his life playing video games or die. Video games is not the causation its the correlation.

i bet if the dad ask him nicely or if he was just supportive and nice to him he wouldnt be in a depressive state.

What do coping mechanisms do? They delay necessary change and let you sit in tolerable misery until one day it's not toleratable. Losers, rip the bandaid off. Make your life better, not comfortable.

youre not seeing the bigger picture here. He is suicidal from the beginning and the problem was his family. The game is just there to delay the inevitable which is him taking his life, a person cannot function if all he ever think is death and without motivation what is the point of doing something? I am sure you have motivation in life to keep going, friends, family or perhaps you have a relationship, he got none of that all he has is his video games, imagine if i took away your family, friends, or your special someone.

Delay the inevitable? You're as lost as he was. People have it much worse than him and make great lives for themselves. The difference is those people didn't use a coping mechanism that kept them stagnant in their shit lives. You're claiming video games save lives but the rate of suicide since console games entered the home doesn't back that up. It doesnt save lives any more than alcohol or porn do. Great distraction mechanisms that help make it through the day.

again... stop focusing on the god damn video games.. i did not claim that video games save lives. I was trying to say he is going to commit suicide one way or another without help, the video game was just the thing that keeps him a float but not much longer. Nobody wants to die, how are you to assume that he has it easier compared to others? do you know him? the fact that he killed himself means theres no way out for him unless someone did an intervention. Put yourself on others shoes for once and see that not everyone can do like you do, not everyone is the same. If he only got support from his father he wouldnt have committed suicide..

Again, you're completely lost if you think suicide was inevitable because he had a strict father. Video games don't keep anyone afloat. It keeps them docile and distracted as their lives get worse around them. Same as all other coping mechanisms. He had food in his stomach a roof over his head and the time and money to waste enormous amounts of his life at a gaming cafe. You're defending your own shitty choices if you can't see the truth in that. Keep coping.

Regardless if the dad was being a dick, nobody can take tough love these days, I've had my arguments with parents over playing video games and not doing chores and shit, at the end of the day they just don't want you being a bum. Crazy that he killed himself over that, I hope I'm wrong and there were other reasons but handing your son a pistol and tempting him to shoot himself isn't very good parenting either 😂

I find it hard to believe the only reason a man shot himself in the head was one argument over chores, clearly there was more going on in his head

Or an overly sensitive child who was struggling, along with little impulse control and didn't mean to pull the trigger or maybe thought the gun was unloaded, either way the parents truly are in the biggest blame here.

Yea children are just property and they should blindly follow every command of their parents. The moment they become an adult they should just leave on their own and thank their parents for proper, tough upbringing.
This is how you make sociopaths, fucked up or mentally sick people with extreme exceptions.
There are people who think like that and act surprised when shit like in this video happens. Some people shouldn't be parents - it requires empathy and common sense that about 10% of the population just isn't capable of.

People should be sterilized upon reaching puberty and only have their normal function restored once they have a stable relationship with a partner who can also pass the parental licensing requirements. No license, no kids. Look at adoption - plenty of hoops to jump through, forms to fill out and vetting required yet any old jerk with a boner can get together with a receptive female and procreate - no forms or hoop jumping required !
