I think I heard a similar story. Not sure if it was in your neck of the woods or not, but I heard of a young couple with two children who got turned over to the state. One was a year and a half and the other was six months old. It amazes me sometimes how people can have children that young and just ignore them. It's not like babies are silent when they need something.

One of the kids in my fraternity failed out of college because of WoW. He finished the semester with a 0.3 GPA
Three students in my drawing class failed their entire first semester courtesy of WoW. I don't even know what their GPA was but they're having to do much more paperwork to get back into school because of their mistake.
