In case you're wondering, the manga he read was Gantz.
Why is he in "extensive therapy"? How did he lose his mind? The kid grabbed a manga featuring quite gory illustrations and the occasionally sexual encounter, from an area not meant for children. It's the mother's damn fault for leaving the kid unsupervised. It's probably her fault that the kid is screwed up as well, if it would be possible take her own, and whatever the child's reaction was into consideration.

I completely agree with you. The mom is just a fundie control freak. I found the article hilarious, though. "My son lost his mind when he found this" was especially funny. That's kinda dark of me, but whatever. The kid's mind got blown because he's been so sheltered all of his life, IMO.
That kid is probably in an extensive therapy because he's so ashamed with how his mother reacted.

Or maybe he planed all this out to get away from his bat shit crazy mom lol.
My god, she put him in a mental hospital for reading Gantz??? I can only assume that if it was Battle Royal she'd have performed an honor killing.
Nutter.
The mum's the one that should be in a hospital if she thinks looking at manga made her teenage son insane.
Pretty sure he was already insane before he got hold of the manga.
If he really wanted to have his life fucked tho, he would have read/watched something 10x worse.
*ahem*Umineko or Higurashi*ahem*
If he is mad, this is mercy! May the gods pity the man who in his callousness can remain sane to the hideous end!

Yes, he's definitely mad; he must be, because everything that he has seen...he has seen through the eyes of insanity's omnipresent soul.
Propaganda of an asshole. The dumb mother, I mean. Oh, and that's not a news, that's shit....

I wonder what she would do if he had read Ichi the Killer? Now that's a manga that can send kids to therapy ;)
And what's "extensive therapy" gonna do to him, hm? Last I heard, electroshocks don't do squat. But maybe she got her research from another manga (I'm sure it exists, it's just like rule 34)

Not impossible. More likely it's the fact that he's got this batshit insane mother being so overprotective that pushed him over the edge. She's clearly only interested in blaming others for her own horrible parenting.
