Internet Addicts Starved Child to Death
By Do Je-hae
Staff ReporterA married couple was recently apprehended by the police for causing the death of their baby daughter from negligence due to an Internet game addiction. They had been on the run since their baby died from starvation five months ago in their hometown of Suwon, Gyeonggi Province.
The 41-year-old father, identified only as Kim, met and married his 25-year-old wife in 2008 through Internet chatting. The couple’s daughter was born in June 2009.
They spent from six to 12 hours at a PC room daily, engaging obsessively in games and leaving their baby alone at their home without food or care. The baby was found dead on Sept. 24.
An autopsy by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation determined that the death was mainly caused by a “lengthy period of malnourishment.”At the time of the baby’s death, Kim made a report to the police. “When we woke up, we found that the baby had died,” he said. But the couple at the time denied charges of negligence.
After the funeral, the couple disappeared, but the policed tracked them down and arrested them on Tuesday.
During an investigation after the arrest, they admitted their role in the baby’s death and said that they have shunned PC rooms for the last five months due to a “sense of guilt.”
The baby was reportedly in good health for the first three months after birth while she was being cared for by her grandparents. But when the couple moved to Suwon, the infant spent most of the day alone with her parents away at the Internet cafes.
According to police, the baby was said to have cried all day in her nursery from hunger, but no one was around to feed her.
Infants of her age need to be fed ten times per day, but she was only given milk once or twice a day, police said. The police requested an autopsy by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation.
The couple had no stable income and were financially dependent on the wife’s parents. The police said that their addiction seems to have been a way of venting their stress and freeing themselves from money and childcare concerns.
The police found that the addicts spent their time at the PC room engaging in a role-playing game where they get to raise a female character. Players can buy clothes and accessories for the girl and keep parenting journals on blogs.
Psychology experts are calling for proper measures to help first-time parents in dealing with the stress from child-rearing.

What made these people think they were good enough to be parents in the first place? Hearing about these kinds of things disgust me so bad that I just had to post it! I think people like this should be treated to the same death that they gave to their helpless baby!
Now I, Skeletor, am master of the universe.
I found He-man’s enemy in my hometown!

Update: I found his brothers..
I would like to thank Mike for making me aware of the existence of this word.
Punding is a term that was coined originally to describe complex prolonged, purposeless, and stereotyped behavior in chronic amphetamine users …
… compulsive fascination with and performance of repetitive, mechanical tasks
…
- building hundreds of small wooden boxes
- trying but failing to systematically remove the entire contents of all the drawers and shelves in the home and sort through all their contents.
This is scarily like me, of course minus the amphetamine part. I often find myself looking at my desk, noticing things out of place, putting them in random drawers(Most likely due to my Small OCD with the tidiness of my desk). The problem with this is that later during a bored spell, I feel compelled to organize my desk drawers, only to find that they look almost as messy as they did before I started! Is there a cure for this? Would this be considered an illness? Can someone tell me, why must I feel compelled to clean my drawers, book cases, and T.V. stand, when all I do is put the same items that were already in there in a completely random way, not making any improvements at all?
I wonder if there are any groups dedicated to this problem..
These kids(15 and under at the time) do an excellent job at playing a song from Peter Frampton..

Scary!!!!!
Koro is one of a number of names for a hysterical condition known medically as Genital Retraction Syndrome, whose victims become convinced that their genitals are disappearing into their bodies. It can be contagious, sparking off “penis panics”, such as the one that overtook Singapore in 1967 in which thousands of men became convinced that their penises were being stolen; it was contained by a complete media blackout on the condition. Often blamed on witchcraft, Koro typically strikes in less developed parts of the world, including Africa and Asia, where belief in sorcery remains strong. It’s thought to be an extreme overreaction to normal genital shrinking from cold or other causes. Koro can be treated with medical reassurance and anti-anxiety medications.
Let’s hope Bama can bring the 4th straight BCS title home for the SEC!
