In Reno two parents pleaded guilty for neglecting their children to play video games like "Dungeons & Dragons” and play on the Internet. Parents: Michael and Iana Straw have two children. One is a boy who is 22 months and a girl only 11 months. Both children were very malnourished and near death.

Parents, Michael Straw, 25, and Iana Straw, 23, pleaded guilty Friday to two counts each of child neglect. Each one can face a maximum 12-year prison sentence.

Local police said that the hospital staff had to shave the head of the girl because her hair was matted with cat urine. The 10-pound girl also had a mouth infection, dry skin and severe dehydration.

Her brother had to be treated for starvation and a genital infection. His lack of muscle development caused him difficulty in walking, investigators said.

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 are 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."

I can't even believe this!
