This article discusses how 2 couples who met via online married each other and knew nothing about child bearing the woman did not know when her baby was due until her water broke.
In Internet gaming, they were masters of all they encountered, swashbuckling adventurers exploring mythical lands and slaying monsters. Every evening, the couple, Kim Yun-jeong and her husband, Kim Jae-beom, 41, left their one-room apartment for an all-night Internet cafe where they role-played, often until dawn. Each one raised a virtual daughter, who followed them everywhere, and was fed, dressed and cuddled — all with a few clicks of the mouse.
On the morning of Sept. 24 last year, they returned home after a 12-hour game session to find their actual daughter, a 3-month-old named Sa-rang — dead, shriveled with malnutrition.
This is just one story of many more about this type of neglect and how people use the internet to escape real life. I encourage all of you to read the full article and post your opinions below.
