Hardcore Gamers Gone Wrong
A couple authorities say were so obsessed with the Internet and video games that they left their babies starving and suffering other health problems have pleaded guilty to child neglect.
This husband and wife gaming couple inherited $50,000. Then used it to buy a large plasma screen TV and high-end computer equipment. Then proceeded to play online video games together while their two helpless kids starved. WTF?
What the hell is wrong with these people? I hope they get the full 12 years in prison. If you were unemployed with two kids and inherited 50 grand, would you just waste it like that? These people must have no soul, how do you forget you have kids to take care of?
And I thought this quote was a bit much:
“As we become more technologically advanced, there’s more distractions,” Killen said. “It’s easy for someone to get addicted to something and neglect their children. Whether it’s video games or meth, it’s a serious issue, and (we) need to become more aware of it.”
Comparing video games to meth?
