This is just crazy. Another reason for people to blame video games for everything bad.

Last month, experts at an American Medical Association meeting backed away from a proposal to designate video game addiction as a mental disorder, saying it had to be studied further. Some said the issue is like alcoholism, while others said there was no concrete evidence it's a psychological disease.
Patrick Killen, spokesman for Nevada Child Abuse Prevention, said video game addiction's correlation to child abuse is "a new spin on an old problem."
"As we become more technologically advanced, there's more distractions," Killen said. "It's easy for someone to get addicted to something and neglect their children. Whether it's video games or meth, it's a serious issue, and (we) need to become more aware of it."

No.
It's just another scapegoat for parents who can't fess up and admit that they do not deserve to be parents or are not decent parents.
Something tells me these parents are the same ones who let their kids run around unattended in restaurants and stores.
If I did that, my ass would be slapped 7 ways from sunday.
I would send these bastards to a poor, 3rd world Asian country (north Vietnam, maybe) and force them to rase a shitload of kids without any electrical aid.
Then I would deny them the right to come back to America.
Cruel: yes.
Deserved: most definitely.
