about last year a little child died because her parents went down to the cyber cafe to play World Of Warcraft. both parents usually due this leaving the kid home. both parents were going to go for an hour or so leaving their kid home alone but they lost track of time and played for 3 hours. when they came home their kid was on the floor dead of sufocation.

wow. Talk about bad parenting. You would think they would just get their own computer and play at home, or get a babysitter...

you are an idiot. "child dies due to poor parenting" or "neglect ends in child death."

Yes, the video games did not directly cause the childs death. Therefore the title is really misleading. I expected a kid to get blown away in a seizure from graphics or something.

oops I wrote last year when I ment to say last week. (little typo since World of Warcraft wasnt out last year.)

They were Japanese. and due to very limited space they may not have had the space for a computer in their house. also for Japan I beleive this is the 4th or 5th person dying due to videogames. the other times were people who died of starvation or dehydration becasue they didnt want to leave their PC.

many adults play videogames. they are the biggest consumer of video games. they are the ones that most of these games are made for and they are the ones who play them. you probably dont realize it because you only play with your 13 year old firends but game makers really couldnt care less about you and your age group. exept for Nintendo they mainly rely on kids your age which is why they are doing so poorly.

have you ever seen an average Japanese apartment. space is a very big deal. its one of the main reasons the Xbox didnt sell well in Japan and the reason Sony remade the playstation 2 twice both times smaller than the original. its also the reason Nintendo had so much aclaim with the size of the Revolution.

wow those parents are addicted to video games.
now that we are on the topic of video games and death and such. one of my old friend's friend played some game for 6+ hours and got a brain tumor and cancer from it. but that's wierd because i have played video games up to 12 hours plus when i was younger and nothing is wrong with me. i think?

hey wait a minute if you are looking at a computer screen all day (like if this is you job or something) wouldn't that just be the same as playing a game on a PC for a extended time? (keeping in mind that at a job you do have breaks and you want them). wow this post turned out to be longer than i intended. oh well

today is yesterday's tomorrow and also it's tomorrow's yesterday.

do you have the actual story in front of you?

A while ago i heard a story about some korean kid that played games for something around 60 hours. and died. i cant remember what drugs they said he was on but i bet it was meth. this kid on my bus did meth once and he didnt sleep for 6 days. It was scary. and then whenever he smokes weed he doesnt blink for like 4 or 5 minutes. maybe that happens to everyoneand i never noticed though...

Your title is definately misleading. It should be more like "Child dies due to negligent parents playing video games." Blaming video games for the child's death is rediculous.
