I can't believe this. How obsessed do you have to be to neglect your kids like this?

Sadly I know parents like that. It's just laziness...blaming video games or whatever is just another cop-out.

If it wasn't the internet it would have come in some other form of neglect. Some people should just not be parents.

I find it hard to believe that an obsession with Dungeons & Dragons alone could explain this level of neglect--if one finds time to earn a living, pay the bills and feed oneself, it's hard to imagine how needs as basic (and simple to meet) as spooning out baby food to the baby and slapping something between two pieces of bread for the toddler could go unmet. Then again...

While this story is an extreme, there is certainly an addictive quality to role playing games. Not that it should be outlawed, but I think the addiction can sneak up on people. |

Before the internet it was TV, or something else.

I was on time 5lb 11oz
![]() ![]() Seriously though, this story disgusts me. Whatever reason someone may have for neglecting a child, especially to this degree, it is sickening. |

I remember when I was younger I'd go to my best friend's house all the time and his dad was CONSTANTLY on the computer. I was kind of a nerdy video game guy myself, but even he put me to shame. He had the attitude where if his wife or kids bugged him while he was on it he'd just say "ok, yeah... alright". It got to the point where his wife would become extremely frustrated and sad. I remember one time I was in their living room and I heard her trying to get him to come to bed and he wouldn't because he was busy looking at stocks. Eventually she ran out of the room crying. Good God that makes me so friggin mad. I felt so bad for her. They ended up getting a divorce.

Some people just seriously should not be parents. There was a recent neglect case here where a BABY, not a toddler but a helpless BABY, was left at home alone all day while the parents went to work. Disgusting.

![]() I'm thinking being that addicted must be some sort of mental illness. I mean, I've played computer games for hours on end (starcraft...though its all about Heroes of Might and Magic III, baby), but I don't understand how it could possibly get to the point where you won't even stop to go to the bathroom or take care of your kids? I've also read about people starving and not sleeping for days because they won't leave the computer...this I cannot understand. I mean you could essentially play a game all day and still eat/go to the bathroom/take care of BASIC needs/sleep for at least a few hours...I mean what the hell ![]() |
