An incredibly sad story comes out of Seoul, South Korea, as an infant has died due to parental neglect, but it gets much worse. One of the reasons of the neglect, was that the parents were in an internet cafe for long extended periods of time, playing a game called Prius. This game, ironically, relies on the player to nurture a young girl, who grows and gain attributes as the game progresses.

CNN reports that, "They (the parents) instead played an online game in which they raised a virtual character so as to escape from reality, which led to the death of their real baby," Chung Jin-won, a police officer in Suwon, told Yonhap News Agency.

The irresponsibility of this tragedy is beyond alarming. People need to live in the real 'reality' that is their lives, and do what is right for the people that need them for support. An innocent little life was taken by people getting lost in a virtual reality false world. It is maddening, and beyond sad.

Hopefully this brings awareness to this issue, so another innocent infant is not lost.
