[edit] Information

Love Child In 2010, the death from malnutrition of South Korean infant Sarang became an international news story when the circumstances were revealed: The parents had neglected her for an online fantasy game. Their subsequent trial, in the first case involving Internet addiction, established a global precedent in a world where virtual is the new reality. LOVE CHILD explores this growing problem, weaving a tale of personal tragedy together with social commentary. Shining a light on how new technology can have unforeseen dire consequences. A reported two million people suffer from gaming addiction in South Korea, in part because of the government’s heavy investment in a broadband Internet infrastructure that is arguably one of the worlds most advanced, and has turned Seoul into the “digital capital of the world.” South Korea’s Internet economy is worth $7.9 billion, and makes up 7% of the country’s gross domestic product. Lawmakers are currently considering a bill that would classify Internet and online gaming addiction as a mitigating factor in criminal prosecutions, along with addiction to gambling, drugs and alcohol.
