Ok well not really, it was the people who didn’t like the kid on the net that killed him but yeah. In China, oh glorious China, a camp set up to beat addiction has killed a boy because he suffered from internet addiction. He was beaten to death, reason is China banned the use of shock treatment so they punished him by beating him. Apparently though internet addiction is bad enough that they send kids to camps to beat it. Just like a drug… I guess, and about 10% of their 100 million internet users are addicted. Read the article here.

I dunno but this begs the question, whatever happened to personal responsibility? AND where the heck are the parents to let their kid get so called “addicted” in the first place? Shouldn’t they be monitoring how much time the child has on the internet to begin with? The internet is not a drug, yes it can be addicting but can’t they spend time with their kid? Can’t they tell him to go out and do something or limit his time? I had something else to spew out in this journal but I’ve lost it now. Oh well. I’ll leave it at that for now.
