Re: Boy Jumps From a Building
To be completely honest.... as a mother of a 9 (very nearly 10 year old) I know from personal experience the addictive mentality our children have for these 'XBOX/PS/ETC' consoles and 'web cams, YouTube' accounts. 'Epic Games' and other MASSIVE media companies put out games where you have to play to get into the next level or you get forfeited. They encourage friends of yours to 'compete' with you and if you lose.... you fucking FEEL the consequences of it. If you leave the game, they offer you real 'V bucks' (real £'s) to come back. It's disgusting, but very clever of them. The level you're at determines skill and performance levels, and they are rewarded! ... all the while they encourage your school friends/cousins/brothers and sisters to either be some sort of 'Demigod'.. or your killer. (Fortnite is what my child loves) I let him play under constant supervision. What do you do when everyone plays this.. the fact is, if you don't then 'who/what are you!?' Then the one's who don't, well, they're bullied for not playing it. Its sickening. Way back in 1990.. footsack time.. there was a movie where a family left civilisation for the wilderness. I want to do that. With all of my heart and soul. My son and I. Just us. God. I'd give everything to get away from this awful fucking mess. My little boy was four years old when we relocated to Wells, in Somerset. We've been on our own and survived 'incredibly well' on our own since then. It's been an incredible five years just us two. But this PLAYSTATION 4/XBOX ONE, these games. Well, they are literally so addictive, that I have to unplug this machine and lock it up in my safe for a day or two to wake my son up I have to lock it up to encourage him to cook with me in the kitchen. (A favourite pastime for me. From growing up with a French Grandmother) We have an epidemic here |
