Infant Son Neglected- Dies- While Father Plays Video Games for Three Days Straight
Many generation X’ers and Y’ers have
serious problems with video game addiction. Just like drugs and alcohol and
online social media sites such as Facebook, many younger people the world over
have escaped into a fantasy reality, while neglecting the reality of the real
world around them. Shockingly, one young father’s video game addiction has led
to the death of his infant son. The father disappeared for three days to game
in internet cafes, returning only on rare occasions to feed his son.
Eventually, the baby died.
Elite Daily Reports:
A
young Korean father was so addicted to online games that he not only neglected
to take care of his infant son, but failed to cease the habit even after
finding out the boy had died.
According
to Kotaku, a 22-year-old man was left with his 2-year-old son when his wife got
a job at a factory and moved into the facility’s dorms.
The
two met through an online game when they were in high school.
The
father only checked on the boy every two or three days, however, because he
literally spent all day and all night in Internet cafes.
He
would return home to feed the child before heading to another Internet cafe or
a sauna house to bathe.
The
father found the boy dead on March 7, a blessing in his eyes considering he
could now devote more time to games.
It
wasn’t until over a month later that he decided it was time to do something
about the rotting corpse.
The
Wall Street Journal reports that he wrapped the body in a blanket, put it
inside a plastic bag and left it at a flower garden last Friday about a mile
away from his home.
He
tried to clear his name by reporting the baby missing, but soon confessed to
causing the death during questioning.
He
named League of Legends and Sudden Attack as his two favorite games.
