So the parents basically paid 1000$ to get their kid killed? :s
Yeah; I'd have done it for $200.
This is pretty unnecessary. x\

I don't know if you were trying to go for a light joke but this is neither the place nor the time, sorry.
I thought it was funny....


Does this mean I'm going to hell?

This is terrible. How much internet time is considered to be an addiction?

Poor guy. I wonder what became of the teachers. Hopefully they get locked up for life because of it.

That's just sick. Hope they get shot for the rest of their lives.
When one shot is not enough, you need a firing squad every hour on the hour.

I'd probably be a lot more surprised regarding this news if I hadn't read an article just like this on the Escapist on how China used electroshock therapy on Internet addicts. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93162-China-Ends-Electroshock-Treatment-for-Internet-Addicts]

I'm very saddened to hear that this kid died. It hits particularly close to home, seeing as I use the Internet so often. I guess I'm glad I don't live in China, then.

Im curious to see exactly what sort of regimentation they put the kids there through, sounds more like basic training for chinese troops. Wouldnt surprise me if they were just training soldiers.
The scareist part of this to me is that it's probably true.

In all seriousness now, this is the kind of negative press China DOESN'T want. I expect they'll lash out at this camp and try to prove how it's an isolated incident and utterly smear these teachers before putting them away forever.

This reminds me of one of my old posts about how to treat videogame addiction. I belive that many peoele responded with similar methods of those used in this story. I think that people who suffer from addictions need to create a new life in which the addiction is no longer necessary.

Most addicts are running from something.
