It is a very bad sign, like I said when another story was posted up awhile ago, that these incidents are becoming so common. The fact that so many people joke about these sort of things really does surprise me, as it isn't anything to laugh about.
I feel sorry for both the individuals, as obviously there is some emotional damage done when two children are abandoned by their parent(s), and basically left to the state to find some place for them to go. Even said, the fact that things like this are occurring over video games just shows more injustice in society.
Technology is a great thing, and has propelled the world forward in ways never imaginable, but when children begin to take technology seriously to such an extent, it is a sign that things have gone too far. Hopefully this is the last of these stories for awhile.
Thanks for posting this up, Calfreezy.
