Mother Addicted to Video Games Kills Child

Police from the South Korean city of Cheonan said that they have arrested a 27-year old mother for allegedly strangling her three-year old son for disturbing her post computer game nap.

The mother, whose name was given as Kim, constantly played more than 10 hours of online computer games each day ranging from card games to raising virtual pets. Kim was taking a nap after a four hour session in front of the computer but was woken after her son urinated on the floor and started to cry.
