Curfew for Young Gamers

South Korea has imposed a gaming curfew to try to crack down on what authorities call an epidemic of video game addiction among the young. The Culture Ministry announced anyone under 18 would be blocked form accessing three popular online computer games after midnight.

In one incident, a couple was charged with letting their infant starve to death while they raised a "virtual child" on the Internet.
