Hear about this every day on the hour on the radio station at work. Ugh.
Man, i hope the kid is just found already so they can stop reporting on it.
So extreme. Cant imagine loving a game that much. |

I've read a fair bit about this story and never got the impression the parents are blaming video games. I think that's the media taking its own angle on the story - for the most part, the parents have been too distraught to really even speak to the media coherently.
I can't imagine the guilt they feel - every parent has arguments with their children - but you never expect it to be the last conversation you ever have with them. It's heartbreaking. |

I agree as well.
However I am glad that the youth gaming addiction problem is getting some media. So many kids are hopelessly addicted. They spend every free moment (and unfree moment) on some game, all their friends become other gamers that they 'meet' on the games, their visions of reality become blurred... And parents just think 'oh its just a game, he/she is just a kid'.
There have been multiple stories of people throwing their lives away or even killing themselves over events that relate to these games.
Even though I dont think the parents are directly blaming the game, I do hope this is a wake up call for parents that do have kids that are addicted. |

Actually, the parents say it themselves in the first article that was published in The Examiner. |
