Oh hell - A boy kills a 7 year old girl to feed his video game habit

What an addiction! Pals check this out and tell me where this world is heading? A little boy killing a little girl just to satisfy his addiction!

Campaigners have warned about the dangers of online game addiction after a teenager allegedly killed a seven-year-old girl for her earrings to feed his video game habit.

Mong The Xuong, 15, confessed to luring the youngster into woods in Nghe An province in the north central coast of Vietnam, and beating her to death with a rock, Vietnamese police say.

He said he killed Anh Nhu because he did not have money to play online games at an internet cafe near his home in Yen Hoa, it is claimed.

Locals said the 9th grade high school pupil often spent hours at internet cafes every day, playing Vo Lam Truyen Ky (Swordsman Online) - a violent, massively popular multi-player game in Vietnam, based on Chinese kung fu stories.

Online Gamers Anonymous, a US-based support group for addicts, said the killing - and the level of violence used - highlighted the need for action to be taken to restrict excessive gaming.


Anh Nhu's killing is the latest in a long line of deaths and violent crimes around the world attributed to video game addiction.

According to his confession, Mong lured the girl into woods near their village on May 23 by asking her if she wanted to help him pick fruit to sell at a local market.

He told police he suddenly pushed her down a 20ft rocky drop near a stream before climbing down and beating her repeatedly on the back of the head with a rock, hoping people would think she suffered her injuries in the fall.

He said he cut the earrings into pieces with scissors, and then wrapped them in paper and hid them under the leg of a wardrobe. He was later arrested.

My God, what is the computer age doing 2 children. Then again, some are born devilish. Imagine having the mind to devise elaborate murder plot and callous enough 2 carry it out! May the soul of the innocent girl hunt your days, murderous boy.

Quite true but should this boy think the best way to acquire the game was to kill an innocent girl? I tell dear, some people are born evil and irresponsible parents do not help matters at all.

True talk. One would have thought that a boy of that age should have been taught right from wrong by his parents. If not, he aught to know that killing is bad. Some parents are just not fit to be parents at all.
