Korean press picks up tale of tragedy when couple plays World of Warcraft to excess, infant perishes from neglect.
In a story out of Korea which is just now surfacing in the Western press, a couple in Incheon, South Korea, were arrested last week when their four-month-old daughter died after being left alone by the couple for hours. The mother and father reportedly had gone to a nearby Internet cafe, lost themselves in playing Blizzard's massively multiplayer online PC game World of Warcraft, and returned to their home only to find the infant dead from suffocation. "We booked the pair on criminal charges, judging that when you consider the situation, they were responsible for their daughter's death," a policeman told the Chosun Ilbo newspaper. The couple reportedly told police, "We were thinking of playing for just an hour or two and returning home like usual, but the game took longer that day." The infant was the couple's only child.

I hope these two never have another child again. Their stupidity should not be allowed to contaminate the human race. I hope their reproductive organs shrivle and fall off or fall out as punishment for this.

I guess a lot of people like the way Koreans raise their kids, leting them run wild and unchecked. I for one don't agree with the parenting style of Koreans. They sound just as lazy in their parenting roles as Americans when they try to blame TV for school shootings.

There is now a whole new fear in my school, apparently a kid got ran over by by a truck and they are blaming the driver. This kid was playing underneath a vehicle, and they are trying to blame the driver. Common didn't the parents ever teach their own kid not to play around cars?

I have no pity for idiots, if you cut the branch your siting on, you deserve to fall.
