You tried to warn him!!!
Did you try to beat the hell out of him. For Godsake he is 17.
Better to spoil the rod and spare the child. Now you are using your son as an example to others.

Maraokere:
A video game addict from Thailand died in front of his computer while as he played through the night

The 17-year old boy, identified as Piyawat Harikun from Udon Thani, who was reportedly on holidays, collapsed and died in front of his computer while he played all through the night.

Piyawat's father Jaranwit, said they found him collapsed from the computer chair and was slumped against a PC tower on the floor when they went to the bedroom on Monday afternoon (Oct.5)

He said

"there was a pile of takeaway boxes on the desk and a bottle of fizzy pop at his feet, while his headphones were resting on top of another computer tower.

he would stay up all-night then draw the curtains in the day to continue his fixation with gaming, spending hours on the computer at the home.

We would take food to his room and urged him to stop, but Piyawat just didn't want to cut down on his obsession".

Jaranwit, an air force officer, said he tried to revive his son but he was already dead.

He said: 'I called his name and said 'wake up, wake up' but he did not respond. I could see he was dead.'

Medics who examined the body said the teenager died from a stroke, which they believe was caused by playing the computer constantly through the night.

Jaranwit admitted that his son was a gaming addict, saying:

'My son was smart and always did great at school but he had a major problem with gaming addiction.

'I tried to warn him about his relentless long hours playing games and he promised to reduce it, but it was too late.

'He had already died before he had a chance to change.

'I want my son's death to be an example and warning for parents whose children are game addicts. They need to be more strict on their children's playing hours otherwise they could end up like my son.

Thats not even the main gist...an air force officer is pleading with his son to stop playing games and bringing him takeaway

Maybe they went through some hardship before getting that child so they feel bad saying no to him

I dont see where all the spoiling is coming from. Maybe they should have sent him to his grandparents, if they are still alive

You see... If we make bad use of these our technology... Den it will do us bad... Who knows whether the game sef has its particular spirit or maybe it is a devilish game

What is dis wan saying, which devil? Instead of you to face the issue, you added spirituality.


Anyways that was a bad parenting from the parents. I trust Nigerian parents, for one month you no go use eyes touch am.
