Today, a mother of six was so addicted to playing farmville the facebook game, she neglected her six kids and left them alone in the house with no food. The children lived in filth and animal waster, all six of the children were under 11 years old. They had nothing to eat, the husband had to call social services in to get the children. The husband tried to help the children but it was to overwhelming for him. Being addicted to a game has its limits, you should know where to stop and where to continue from this was just downright unacceptable. The mother has lost custody of the children and the mother has been charged with neglect. There should be a specific cut off point for a game, as if it was parental control and there was some type of timer for certain games where it would cut off. A cut off would be helpful, but be a major problem to gamers who have the ability to control themselves.
