I don't see how 5 hours could cause the baby's death. If you were to believe that, then how is the baby supposed to sleep at night? Are they supposed to watch it for 8 hrs straight?

First and obvious question: Are you a parent?

There are certain measures you should take when a baby goes to sleep. 5 hours is plenty of time for a baby to die.

Actually, I ran the numbers and came up with a 33.33% chance of that baby dying, with .33 repeating of course.

Nope...I mean one billion chinese people minus 1

There is no way that I would ever leave my baby (were I to have one) unattended. So stupid.

[Gigantopithecus]

Didn't this happen with Everquest back in the day?

I simultaneously feel very bad about the death of an infant and am thinking Darwin award material.

i agree just posting the article

it reminds me of that say no to drugs commercial where

they the kid's sister died because he was too busy smoking pot and wasn't watching her

note to self: do not 5man scholo

 

[ultimatebob]

Yeah, WoW is a horrible game to do if you only have an hour or two to play. Some of those Dungeon crawls can take 3 or 4 hours if you want to complete all of the missions at once, and you'll end up really pissing off your teammates if you're a leave early and leave them without a "critical" player that they need to complete the quests.

Morons... they should have stuck with CounterStrike

 

[Eli]

That's beyond fscked up....

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

I hope they know better than laying the baby on it's stomach when putting him/her to bed. That's a BIG NO NO! A suspected cause of SIDS

 

[HumblePie]

And.. how do people in the Article explain SIDS when parents are watching and don't play video games? what they were doing was irrelevant to the serious nature of the crime at hand. Negligance. It doesn't matter what the parents were doing except for the fact they were doing it without their baby.

I know of someone that got arrested for doing something similar... but it was going to watch a movie but didn't want to take their 2 month old so as not to disturb everyone else. They come back 2 hours later to a dead baby. Pure negligance.

Then again, this could also be bad timing because the baby could just have died while the parents were sleeping for a few hours. Which happens more often then people know. Then again, a kid dies while the parents are sleeping and it's not longer a negligance crime. Kid dies while parents are watching a movie or playing a video game and it's a crime. The difference is if it was a video game, it gets plastered on the news.

Nice standards we have here.

No I'm not. How would a parent who is at home have been able to prevent this if it was SIDS?

More than likely, a parent who knows not to leave their child unattended for hours of time, would know the preventative measures to take against SIDS.

Things such as putting an infant on hard, flat surfaces, on their back. Not covering anywhere above the collarbone with a blanket. Covering the baby in the crib with a blanket strung relatively taught. Things of this nature. You can't stop all cases of SIDS, but there are plenty of measures parents can take to help prevent it.

I'm not a parent, but I have watched infants for cousins and aunts/uncles. You cannot take your eye off of them for a second.

Only one source for that story I'd say FAKE

absolutely HORRIBLE if this is true.
