Daughter died of hunger because her mother was busy playing Warcraft

In the U.S. a young mother was so carried away by the famous online game that had forgotten about her 3-year-old daughter. The girl, Warcraft victim, died of exhaustion.
28-year-old Rebecca Colin Christie spent days and nights sitting at the computer playing “World of Warcraft” with her friends.
Occupied by missions passage in the game, Rebecca has not thought of the little girl.
The abandoned baby, who later became one of Warcraft victims, was left without a mother and without food.
Every day, the girl was getting weaker. She lost much weight.
When her father after work came to visit his daughter, he saw that his daughter does not even have a cup of water, the house is dirty and there is nothing to eat, but never tried to help her.
Prostrate, Brandy tried to feed herself.
The only thing that the starving baby found was the cat litter. Inedible grains did not satisfy the girl’s hunger.
When careless mother finally broke away from the computer and thought about the existence of her little daughter, Brandi was already dead.
Rebecca found motionless “Warcraft victim, who at the time of death, weighed little more than 10 kilograms.
Examination showed that the girl died from malnutrition and dehydration.
- How could I ignore what was happening to my little girl? I was supposed to help! Now I have to live with this burden until the end of my days – tells the grieving father, the former husband of Rebecca.
After the death of the baby he faces up to 3 years in prison.
The gamer-mother was sentenced to 25 years in prison for second-degree murder and the failure of parenting.
Such a tragic accident occurred in South Korea in 2005. Young parents went to an internet cafe near their home to play “Warcraft”.
As usually, the young men had gone away for a few hours to rest while playing. However, the party delayed.
When the parents-gamers returned home they found their 4-month-old baby dead. The baby turned over in his sleep and died of suffocation.
- We were going to play just for an hour or two, but it turned out a little longer – the parents tried to justify themselves.
Doctors in the U.S. and Europe have proven that multiplayer online game “World of Warcraft” causes chronic addiction.
Swedish organization “The Youth Care Foundaton” believes that “Warcraft” causes an addiction close to cocaine.
While at computer, gamers just lose their sense of reality and time, endangering themselves and others.
