Infant Daughter Dies as Parents Play Online Game
According to Incheon Police Station on Tuesday, a 29-year-old man husband identified by his family name of Yu and his wife put their four-month daughter in the bedroom of their home and went to a neighborhood PC cafe at around 4:00 p.m. on May 24 to play the online game "World of Warcraft. Time flew by as the couple lost themselves in the game, and when they returned home at 9:00 p.m., their daughter was lying on her stomach, dead of suffication. Police said, "It's unfortunate, because the tragedy could have been averted if the couple had just left their daughter with Yu's mother-in-law, who lived upstairs from them.

How many Africans die from neglect because their parents play online games like World of Warcraft? |

yeah keep guessing... probably never even been there have you...
RR and anyone else who, unlike, calypso, is actually disturbed by unnecessary deaths of children from abuse on any continent, this kind of thing is very common in Japan too but usually cos kids get left in cars while people go play pachinko.
Sign of the times... |

| I don't much about baby care, except that you should put a baby to sleep on its back (to prevent SIDS, suffocation). Can babies turn over? Can't the baby move its head to avoid suffocation? That seems like human instinct. I know you shouldn't leave a baby alone, but what about when you go to sleep at night? God, this makes me think people should keep constant vigilance over their babies. Man, I'm going to buy a whole lot of baby care books when I have a baby! |

That is atrocious!!!!! Were they not warned to NEVER leave their baby unattended????????? I would never in a million years leave Letty in bed and go out., anything can happen.
You bring a life to this world, it's your responsibility to look after this life. I hope they get charged with murder because that's what this is!  |

You're not supposed to say that- RR might get upset and threaten to leave again.

| It's a Korea discussion forum, hence the discussion on things Korean. Try to keep your Real Reality bashing to yourself. |

| No, you're good Bulsajo, continue to express the opinions . . . I meant the other guy who seems on an anti-RR rampage . . . just seems kind of pointless. |

| Yeah, he's got an RR bug in his bonnet, but I've been there before too. As have others. Sometimes it just gets to you after a while, but then it passes. |
