10 year old boy commits suicide over games punishment

A 10 year old school boy in Moscow jumped to his death after his parents banned him from playing computer games. The boy, Andrei Smirnov (?) ended his life after receiving his punishment for bad conduct and poor performance at school. Local Russian experts naturally are expressing concern over the unhealthy dependence of children on computers and games in particular.

hold the phone…. russian have school? it’s not the game but how the game is adapted. just like
food, any food have no problem, but if we consume it’s to much, it could be “unhealthy”. think about it.. just like kid, they want game, give then game, but control it, not discard it..
