Mom Kills Daughter for Disturbing Her Gaming

[Camikazi]

[citation][nom]thatmose[/nom]i think am more scared of humans than any wild animals or aliens out there. That is just insane.[/citation]
You should be, humans are WAY more dangerous then any wild animal in the world. Animals tend to have survival reasons for doing things, to eat or to protect themselves or their families, humans will do things for no reason other then they felt like it.

Even if I love gaming, I wouldn't do that to my flesh and blood...what's the point of having a child if you just kill them like that?

This is truly a very sad story, but why do stories like these find their way to Tom's Hardware? Must be a slow news day. I read Tom's Hardware for the latest tech related news. Murder that somehow involves technology or video games isn't what I think should be included on this site.

I can go to any mainstream source of news if I want to be bummed out. Just because a Nintendo DS, or a PS3 was found at the murder scene, or an outrageous argument starts over a laptop, doesn't mean it should be added to the latest news on Tom's. Seriously, who comes to this site to read about murder and violence? It takes me out of the excitement of reading about the latest CPU or the best video card for the buck. Come on guys, there are plenty of tech stories to choose out there.

Thanks,

Typical comments from people who probably don't favor anti-abortion and have a supremely smug view about how they're living their lives and how others should live theirs.

Yes, its a tragedy, especially for their immediate families, but I'm always a little amazed at how everyone wants bloody murder as if it were their own children that were killed or as if they had some divine right to intercede and preclude someone else's reproductive rights, even if they aren't very good at it.

If you want to bemoan the state of children in the world there are probably hundreds of thousands of abandoned, starving, unwanted and adoption agency children that you can still help in some way. Or better yet, why don't we start requiring people to be licensed before they can reproduce, this seems to be what some want. Have them take required parenting classes every year and go through psychological tests when they want to have a baby or find a way to make every baby born in your country sterile until a solution is administered.

Contrary to popular belief, children aren't innocent, esp. when they're reliant on the parent. The child generally takes on the sins of the parents. Even starving lions in Africa will abandon their cubs when there's no food or if they're ill. Man is also an animal (Also contrary to deluded beliefs) and will always be so.

I know it sounds cold, but it was their genetic heritage that they stupidly or carelessly destroyed, not someone else's.

That kind of loss of control and moral is just exceptional. This couple and anyone associated with them need mandatory birth control operations. It is good to know that of the 6 billion people on planet earth 99.999% of us are not like this.

They should suffer the same punishment. In front of a national audience, being the start of a true "eye for and eye" punishment. They should bring back public hanging to show enough is enough. JMO

[citation][nom]Takuhi[/nom]If anything this is a failure of the Japanese Social Services and the ever increasing addiction of mentally unstable people. This the thing is... this is not down to gaming. Lets take Korea and Japan as examples of "high tech" cultures. The mass production of cheap electronics has got to the point now where every member of society is able to afford a computer capable of playing games. Someone who is prone to addiction will latch onto gaming quite easily, but it will not be their only addiction. If it wasn't for gaming, it would be drugs, alcohol or both. The reason we don't get deaths like these in the US or UK is because it's still relatively expensive to buy a PC or a laptop. Those who are mentally ill, who are unable to hold down high paying jobs, let alone unskilled part time jobs, will not be able to afford the addiction of gaming. In our Western societies, these people will turn to drugs or alcohol first. Due to the official recognition of alcoholism and drug abuse, children are taken into care much sooner. These neglectful deaths still occur, but due to the structure of our society and culture, it is almost never down to gaming addiction. With the price of computers set to decrease, there will come a point where our societies will mirror that of Korea, where child neglect has cropped up before. We need to take action now to battle all sorts of addictions, including gaming addiction. And before anyone flames this, you have to agree that there is a difference between recreational gaming (anything up to 6 hours a day, depending on your job) and addicted gaming (something like 12 or 14 hours a day). The latter takes up so much time, in the same way as drug abuse and alcoholism, that it affects the persons ability to function normally. It's this feature about addiction which leads to child neglect, abuse and premature death.[/citation]


O hey look http/www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20021079-504083.html a mom killed her child for interrupting a farmville game in JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

You're being racist. Stop it. We're all human being and no race is that special or an exception to the rule.

 

[nhat11]

[citation][nom]AVJake[/nom]It sounds like the mom is a sociopath with zero sense of right and wrong and obviously no emotional connection with the daughter (or anyone else). We can probably thank her parents for this shocking behavior. And I wonder how the babydaddy feels today.They really take gaming to psychotic levels in Japan. Maybe the government should limit the number of consecutive hours individuals can play.[/citation]

Eh it's not JP, it happens anywhere, even here: FarmVille Playing Mom Admits She Killed Infant Who Interrupted Facebook Game http/www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20021079-504083.html

Am I the only one who sees an opportunity to get some recon in those nuclear reactors over there? Just strap some cameras onto these crazies and send them in to the reactors to investigate. These two are perfect for a suicide mission.

 

[m-manla]

That is sad that someone would do that!!! I mean cmon it is just a game, and you don't put a child in a bag like trash.

 

[damasvara]

One word: PSYCHOPATH!!!

 

[mayankleoboy1]

talk about addiction

 

[55Range]

[citation][nom]solara[/nom]The poor girl was obviously neglected and was acting out to get more love and attention. She obviously knew the games were causing the problems, which is why she threw them in the trash!Stupid, pathetic mom and boyfriend need to die a slow, painful death.[/citation]
Totally right .

 

[Hellboy]

Another child dies down to a video game playing parent who do not see the difference between life and day..

Death penalty must persue these people as the more that are not in the gene pool the better

 

[Guest]

I own almost $4000 PC with latest Hardware to lay games (In India it costs 1.5 times of US)!!
I am kind of game addict.. my wife is not fond of my weekend 4-5 hours marathon session and she is expecting child !!
but trust me even my little birdies at my home chirping to get mt attetion I stop my session and play with them!!
Cant imagine child want thier attention and throw game in garbage and these as.h.les put that poor thing in garbage bag this is sick...
Wish they give them death penalty like some middle east countries by dismembering each part of thier body!!

Look, this is of course disgusting, sad, and even a bit maddening. But the truth is, it probably has very little to do with gaming. If she weren't addicted to gaming it would be something else... Drugs, gambling, etc... This has been happening for ages. Some people are just not mentally capable of living a normal life, or raising children.

 

[feeddagoat]

[citation][nom]bavman[/nom]Have you guys noticed that all the little kids getting killed because of their parents being addicted to gaming is usually the women's fault only? There were a couple stories that were exactly the same last year of some mothers playing farmville and neglecting to feed their children. Although sad, i find it strange that we (at least me) havent heard about fathers doing the same.[/citation]

From the article it seems it was a joint decision to tape her up and put her in a bag. Her live in boyfriend was just as bad as

a) He didn't stop it from happening
b) Probably (from the article) helped

yes he wasn't the father of the kid since in todays society heaven forbid if a male has to do anything. Gender had f-all to do with this. If it was his kid im sure both would of done the same thing. Its not bad parenting, its a failure of humanity to show any form of consideration for others.

No need for a real trial... All you need is a pistol and a back alley.

This isn't a problem with gaming, if there wasn't games the mother would have ignored her daughter some other way. She obviously didn't want the poor girl to begin with.
Death would be too easy a way out for her. I hope she gets life in jail (although I believe jails give their prisoners too many rights/privlages)

 

[K2N hater]

I disagree about the relation of neglect with games, drugs, alcohol, gambling, self harming (and others).

If one values life (not only a son/daughter's life) less than the object of addiction then the problem is not only the addiction but the concept of life.
