Here's an extreme story of a couple so obsessed with the internet that they let their toddler and baby starve...almost to death. The online video game-loving couple had food in the house but neglected their kids' needs in order to take part in internet role-playing games. The 11 month-old had to have her head shaved because her hair was matted with cat urine. You can read the article to see what else she and her brother had to suffer with.
The parents are each facing a 12-year maximum sentence. I sincerely hope they get it. Now, I can understand one parent being internet-crazy, but you would think at least one would behave somewhat responsibly for the sake of their children.
How much time online is too much? Some would say too much would be far less than the extremes this couple went to. Do you know anyone who's internet crazy? Is it you?
If you're a home schooler, has the internet interfered with your responsibility to teach your kids?
What's the answer for internet-obsessed parents? Time management? Self management?
