A thoughtless couple in their 20s who left their four-month old daughter at home while they played Internet computer games at a nearby PC café have been booked by police after the child died.
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 café 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.
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."
Major U.S. online game producer Blizzard, which grew famous with the game "Starcraft", produced the game to which Yu and his wife were addicted, "World of Warcraft." The game allows multiple players to form teams to fight battles and enjoy various adventures. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

QFT.
gg.
This could easily have been "Parents went to pub and left infant unattended." and noone would've blinked an eye. But because they were playing a horrible, violent computer game it's suddenly newsworthy.

The tank was doing a bad job too tbh.
That's the part that did it for me. I mean... what?

So true.
SATAN COME TO ALLIANCE DOWN WITH THE HORDE
More Seriously: This is sad. Damned idiots <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
...computers....games....its all ebiL!!
I'm surprised it doesn't. I mean what if the baby turns over in it's sleep while everyone in the house is sleeping then suffocates to death. You never hear about cases like that. But if this is possible, surely that is too? I guess it would cry, but I've known people who could actually sleep through the sound of a train's horn within feet of them.

True, but its the fact that the parents would leave the infant home for five hours while they went to <i>go play a computer game</i>.
Indeed it could have. Does this justify what they did though?
No.
Just making an observation. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
