Woman Addicted to Online Game Neglects Children and Leaves Bodies of Starved Dog

When there is a school shooting, one has to blame the gun involved! Don't try to move the blame from an inanimate object to a conscious person!

Let's not blame the games, consenting adults are responsible for their own actions. And why would she get a suspended sentence? The kids are taken away, so let her butt rot in jail for a while. I do not agree with suspended sentences where child abuse/neglect is involved.

People like this disgust me, especially when they show no compassion for what they did.

"things that suck you in, sometimes crafted to suck you in."

especially MMO's, and most computer games in general, are crafted to suck you in.
some people can handle it, some people can't, and that's when things like this happen.

if you lost someone you loved, things can get really f*cked up,
you withdraw into a new world you build around you, with high walls to protect you from the violent things outside. and then there is the internet, how easy it is to make friends here, you will learn very fast that things can't really hurt you here, so it soon becomes your new home. its not the game, just another try to put a bad name on online games. its this virtual reality we have right at our finger tips, whenever we need it. i know what i am talking about, been there, done that.

sure, she is responsible for what happened. you don't let your dogs starve, and you don't put your kids in a situation like this. there is no excuse for this. but lets not forget that there were advantaging circumstances. for a start, those people around her could have paid more attention.
