Real baby Vs Virtual baby

A sign of the times we live in?

A South Korean couple have been jailed after their baby starved to death while they raised a virtual child online.
The husband, a 41-year-old taxi driver, and his 25-year-old wife were sentenced to two years in prison, but the woman's term was suspended because she is pregnant.
The couple were addicted to the game, which saw them act as virtual parents, spending an average of 10 hours a day at internet cafes while only feeding their daughter once a day.
The baby girl was severly neglected and was beaten for crying.
The couple only discovered their baby had died when they returned to their home in Suwon, South of Seoul last September, after having spent all night at an internet cafe.
The autopsy revealed the child had died of malnutrition.
The court said: "This constitutes an inhumane crime where the defendants abandoned even the most basic responsibilities as parents, and is unforgivable beyond any excuse or reason."
The couple have been given a week to appeal the ruling.
South Korea is estimated to have over two million internet addicts in a population of 49 million

Wouldn't you love to take a lump hammer to those two clowns.

That woman would be as well off having an abortion & getting sterilised, she couldn't even feed or be humane to her first child so I have a funny feeling she's not cut out for being a mother.

Pull out their eyes through their toes, and feed them rats who have been starved who will eat them inside out, while being digested in a whale!

Is this an old story or another one? Heard about this months ago.

EDIT: Oh they've just been sentenced,that's probably why it's back in the news.
