Gaming Addiction in Real Life #4
In 2014, a couple in Anaheim, US was jailed by authorities for two felony counts of child abuse, two misdemeanor counts of false imprisonment, one misdemeanor count of contributing to delinquency of a minor, and sentencing enhancements for great bodily injury. This comes after the two failed to properly take care of their two young daughters. Their addiction to the video game World of Warcraft had caused them to neglect the needs of the children, as the mobile park home they inhabited was considered to be both unsanitary and uninhabitable. The home was found with little nessesities for basic living standards, with food either scarce or spoilt.
The two girls ages 10 and 5, were unable to leave their home for any reason. The children were found in a state in which "dirt crusted on their feet, matted hair, damaged teeth beyond repair, and malnourished".
The two parents have now been sentenced to prison, with 5 years for the husband and three years and four months for the wife.
This is just another reason why gaming addiction, may cause harm to others.
