Why didn't the parents stop him at two days? Even one? Four hours?
My mum stops me at over 2 hours. I agree with her, may not be excited to get kicked off, but she is right.
This mom let him stay playing like that, that ain't right.

I dont think I have much to say about this... they are just really really stupid.

[Alpine gremlin]

Parenting fail! That woman makes me sick.

Honestly...how dense do you have to be to not interfere with something like that?

Some people like to party hard.

I really cannot decide who has the worse fail, here. The mother here is a piss-poor excuse of a piss-poor excuse of a parent...but who the heck sits in one place and does one thing nonstop for 4/5 days?! Kid's got problems.

[chocolatemilk95]

My question is how the heck can you play cod for 4-5 days straight? I get motion sickness and need to move after 2-3 hours, and that's pushing it. Oh and the mom's not paying attention to her son is..... Can't wait to hear about the possible backlash against video games about this one..

Developers have a resopnsibilty for me, dont put 20 prestiges in your game then peeps will go do something else, even if
that is playing a different game. COD is like crack, you just want more and more. Getting to that rediculous 20th prestige is like
asking a crackhead, you can have an endless supply of the good stuff for the next year, do you want it? the answer would be the
obvious, and the druggy would no doubt overdose. The kid OD on COD thanks to the developers The kid is a bit of a dumbass, his parents need a slap aswell. As for Game developers, well they just want you playing, regardless!

4-5 days? Jeebus, as an ex-tweeker I could never stay up for more than 3 and that was with illicit chemical help. Not only that, but I never had a lock on my room as a child, nor did I have a lack of chores to do around the house. My mother would've blind-sided me like a professional hockey player and then ripped the console outta the wall.

I wouldn't blame the Dev's though. The willpower and choice ultimately rest with the user. I agree, that in this case it is a parental failure. Hell, I'm almost 40 and I'm lucky if I'm still not tracked down by my mother after two weeks of no communication. LOL. If it's not one thing, it's your mother.

Slap me up and call me Shilrey, 4 days... That ''mother'' should be arrested

[Balay]

Mother takes the blame. How dare that woman, not checking on his (only?) son. At least my parents are not stupid enough, if I stayed up on the computer for a day, I would probably get punched in the face. They stop me after at least 3-4 hours.

[snaithy182]

if someones so stupid to stay o a game for 4 days straight not drinking this guys a idiot and deserves to die thats my opinion on it i mean who doesnt have the common sense to idk maybe go out or stop gaming after a few hours and get a drink! the mother...well you shouldent really call her a mother if she didnt ask where her son way for 5 days
