Baby Starves While Parents Tend to Virtual Child

Newser) – A South Korean couple has been arrested for allegedly letting their real-life 3-month-old daughter starve to death while they cared for a virtual baby in an online game. Police say the 41-year-old father and 25-year-old mother spent 12 hours a night playing the Second Life-style online game PRIUS at an internet café. After one marathon session last September, they returned home to find their real daughter dead and called police.

The girl appeared suspiciously dehydrated, and an autopsy revealed that she had died of malnourishment. The parents have been charged with child abuse and neglect. They’ve admitted to feeding the girl rotten powdered milk and frequently spanking her. At one point, her grandparents took the girl, worried that their son’s internet addiction was causing him to neglect her; they returned her 2 weeks before her death.

those virtual world games should have mandatory rest periods, like a character can only be logged on for 3 hours max at a time, then not be able to log in again for another 3 or something.
People kill THEMSELVES playing those massive multi player things confused like for 50 hours at a time!

he's not doing good at his job at all, he's become paranoid (as if he's living in the game world), he's started buying guns like crazy in real life, and says he's saving them up for a future war. eek my dad reported him to his boss because he's afraid he'll end up being one of these guys that goes into a place and shoots everyone. he's lost touch with reality!

and give them a good spanking every few hours or so. for the next 50 years.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
