Playing games other than feeding kids

[Demon_Skeith]

Lester Louis Huffmire and his wife, Petra Huffmire, have been sentenced to five years and three years prison respectively for "obsessively" playing World of Warcraft while "keeping their two young daughters locked inside their filthy mobile home for years without adequate food or basic care".

KTLA reports that the couple, arrested last year, plead guilty to "two felony counts of child abuse, two misdemeanor counts of false imprisonment" and "one misdemeanor count of contributing to delinquency of a minor".

Police and investigators found that for three years, between 2010 and 2013, the trailer they lived in had appliances "covered in mold and cobwebs, stacks of trash, debris, mold, and feces throughout the home, a pile of used condoms under a stuffed teddy bear, and inoperable toilets."

Ew...

Weird and very disgusting.

The treatment is as filthy as that home.

It is weird that no one notice or reported that they were not treating their kids badly for 3 years.

Very bad parenting indeed. I could never be that into a game to a point where I shut off from normal life.

I've heard of that story and its very sad. I too have two kids and a wife myself and I can't ever see games taking priority over them.

Games are fun, and thats all they are.

A person's family should take top priority.

I am a gamer, but not to the point where my wife and kids are no longer important to me.

Oh no! This is awful. I can never understand how anyone can do something like this to be honest. I myself have kids and I love to game but I would never dream of making gaming my main priority and letting my kids suffer not in a million years.

Some people just don't deserve to be on this planet
