Imagine working tirelessly to save up for the perfect birthday gift for your chronically ill child, only to have it ruined by careless family members. That’s exactly what happened to a 32-year-old father who bought an Xbox for his 12-year-old son suffering from a chronic heart disease. The boy, who can’t engage in physical activities like other kids, had expressed his desire for a gaming device. Little did the father know that his wife’s brothers would take it upon themselves to use the gift, ultimately destroying it.
