Have a video game addiction not a baby
News from Jae - Saturday, 06 March 2010 @ 12:24pm
A couple in South Korea were spending up to 12 hours a day an internet cafes whilst their 3 month old daughter was home alone. The couple were obsessed with a MMORPG called Prius in which they raised their own virtual children.
A spokesman for the National Scientific Criminal and Investigation Laboratory, which carried out an autopsy on the girl, said, "she appears to have starved to death because she was not fed for such a long period of time."
Police tried to arrest the parents but they disappeared after the baby's funeral.
Authorities caught up with them Tuesday and charged them with child abuse and neglect.
It's sad to hear such things happen where video games impact on the life of a child. Let's hope this is the last we ever here of video game related deaths in babies.

What's the deal with not having a home PC? At least then you could be present while you're being neglectful.
