Darn, I was beginning to hope that we'd moved over the whole "abducted by a gamer he met online" stereotypes.<p>> But he said his worst fear is that his son has been either abducted or lured away by a gamer he met online.<p>Anyway, I feel for the poor kid - I hope he returns safely. a game is, at the end of the day, just a game. No reason to get so worked up over it. A bit of a lack pf understanding from the parents though - internet and game addiction is real and some of us need help from it.
