An internet-addicted
couple in South Korea
have been found guilty
of letting their baby
starve to death as they
played online,
The Belefast Telegraph
reports May 28th, 2010.
They spent most of their days
at an internet cafe raising a
virtual daughter in an online
game instead of caring for
their baby.
The three-month-old
died last September.
The husband,
41,
and the wife,
25,
were given two
years in prison.
The wife’s term was suspended
because she is pregnant with
a second child.
Earlier this year,
the South Korean government
said there were two million
“internet addicts” in the nation,
which is considered one of the
world’s most technologically
wired.
