This couple in Nevada are saying that the internet is the cause of them leaving their babies starving and with health problems. They are saying that they are so obsessed with the internet that they didn't take proper care of their children. That is just total BS in my opinion. I play on the internet but I also take care of my child. I think that if you feel like you are on the internet all day, every day and you don't properly take care of your child, then you need to be an adult and refrain from using the computer that much. It's not that hard! lol I just feel so bad for those poor children. At least now they're in foster care and are getting better.

That's EXACTLY what it sounds like Katprice. I have an internet addiction, I'll admit it. Actually, I'm a recovering addict (lol). I only allow myself so much time online. My kids are old enough to get a drink if they want one, or a snack, but that doesn't make it okay for me to sit in front of the computer all the time and ignore them.(I'm at work right now, so it's okay..lol) Those people are just looking for an excuse to blame their lack of parenting on.

Sounds like they are so obsessed with THEMSELVES that they don't care what happens to their kids. That's a shame. I'm glad they are in foster care receiving better parenting than what they were exposed to before. People should have to take a class before they have kids.
