Couple Starves Baby While Playing A Video Game

that is just wrong. the parents should be punished for life in some way. i do think video games online or the gaming sysyems are very addictive to some. people need to grow up and realize that if they have kids the kids need their attention before the games/internet.

i do think computer, games are addictive but to starve a baby cause you are to in to your game shame on you. i hope you rot in He**. How could you. this is ridiculous. it makes me want to cry. where were the friends and family did no one know. i am speachless well sort of. Losers.

Yes, the internet can be addictive, but anyone who attends to online gaming more-so than taking care of a real child obviously has some type of mental problem. If they did not want that precious child they should've given her up for adoption to a loving family. How sad.

These people should be sentenced to death.

Yep, an addiction is an addiction. I heard they have video game detox centers in Europe. So sad for the child... and idiotic for the parents. Just goes to show you people need people. If that couple had family, friends or some medical practitioner checking up on the premature child, or the postpartum mother - it's unlikely the outcome would have been the same.

The internet is addictive. But when it gets to the point of neglecting your own child. That is terrible.

Wow--I truly cannot identify with either of the parents--how both of them could be so wrapped up in this virtual world to the point where their real child died almost seems pre-mediated--especially with the game they chose to play. Mental health seriously needs to be taken more seriously in all workd societies--it's appallingly eveident that the mental deterioration of one person has the potential to be catastrophic for those involved in that person's (or people's) lives.

That is too sad! While I am a huge fan of video games and internet games, my child was never ignored or neglected! My ex-husband on the other hand was useless and I definitely witnessed gaming addiction in our household. I do not understand how it becomes more important than your family, but it can.

Wow! This is really sad! I personally don't know anyone addicted to the internet like this. However, it does seem like someone could be addicted to it as they would be addicted to drugs or alcohol, since they neglected their baby to fulfill their own pleasures.

This is so sad. I do not understand this and I just cant understand this.

I would say almost anything, if its being used as a method of escape from emotinal pain, boredom, depression, reality, etc., definitely has a good chance of becoming addictive. The internet has many, many options for people wanting to escape and/or lose themselves in a different reality. From porn sites, to gambling sites, to World of Warcraft, to chatrooms, people are addicted to the internet. I guess we, the family and friends, should be looking out for signs of trouble, as we would with any addict. It doesn't sound like anyone was looking out for these people or their baby. It doesn't excuse what they did- that's horrible and twisted in a sick ironic way- but maybe if we see the warnings ahead of time, we can get help for people like that

I dont think was right what this couple did at all to this little baby. but for some the internet is very addictive and some dont want to deal with being a parent at all.

I don't think that this is right at all, but I think you have to understand Korean culture at least a little to understand the story completely.

There are no words to express how sad and pathetic that is...we all probably get a bit "addicted' to the internet and all that it can offer us, but at the risk of your own baby who is helpless and need their parents for constant support and attention? That is NOT OKAY!!!! I hope people can learn from these two adults who acted like children and never make their fatal mistake! Rebecca Barkai/CEO www.startingoutsmall.com info@startingoutsmall.com

That is really sad! A baby should never have to go through anything like that. God gave us children to care for and raise up to be good Godly Christians and the parents that did that put their child in an unsafe place and the little baby didn't deserve that!
