Infant Daughter Dies as Parents Play WoW !

[NikolaX]

A 4-month-old girl suffocated alone at home while her parents were away at a Korean Cyber Cafi playing World of Warcraft, according to the Digital Chosunilbo:

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 cafi 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. The couple 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." Police said an investigation turned up that the couple, who wed last year, used to play "World of Warcraft" whenever they had time.

OMFG

I posted this in the other thread:



the fact they were playing WoW shouldnt even be mentioned ...if they were at the movies instead I'm pretty sure they wouldnt blame the movie they were watching


video games are the modern scapegoat for everything wrong in child rearing ...5 hours isnt all that much to be away from an infant ...they could have been at home and the outcome would have been the same ..suffocation and SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) is actually quite common

Agreed.

yeah its another excuse for the anti-game people, who want to ban them...

Because of my hatred of MMORPGS and especially WoW, I blame that game! That damn WoW, its gonna kill millions of infant babies left alone. WoW must be banned, right now.


All bias and kidding aside, that is horrible. And the parents better not get off because of a videogame. That would be total bullshit. You can't blame a ****ing game for something like this.

STOP BLAMING GAMING FOR EVERYTHING!
I bet in the future they'll blame games for WW3.

why they mention the game so much

"and went to a neighborhood PC cafi at around 4:00 p.m. on May 24 to play the online game "World of Warcraft"
"Police said an investigation turned up that the couple, who wed last year, used to play "World of Warcraft" whenever they had time."

seriosly why they mention it so much like is fault of the game? the fault is of the parents that let the kid alone

EDIT:taked from the article

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... We booked the pair on criminal charges, judging that when you consider the situation, they were responsible for their daughter's death."

finally,I hope the polices think like that in another case whit videogames involved
