Kid Hospitalized After 4 Day Xbox Marathon

Moral of This Story is.. We must not disturb Dr. Darwin while he’s at work…

WCMH TV reports that an Ohio woman, Jesse Rawlins, has apprehended the Xbox of her 15-year-old son, Tyler Rigsby, after he was taken to the emergency room for dehydration after spending more than four days in his room playing Modern Warfare.  Jesse Rawlins told an NBC correspondent that her son, Tyler, appeared from his bedroom and collapsed Tuesday morning after a marathon gaming session of Modern Warfare.  Jesse said that her son became very pale and his lips turned blue before he collapsed to the floor.  “I was very scared.  I thought he was going to die.” The WCMH TV station quoted an emergency doctor at a children’s hospital saying “dehydration can lead to decreased blood pressure and a lack of adequate oxygen to the brain.”  Jesse Rawlins said that her son only left his room once or twice during the entire four day span to grab a few snacks.  She also added that she and Tyler have learned a very valuable lesson, and that “The Xbox is gone”.  Parents around the world should use this as an example of great parenting.  Check out the video below of Jesse’s statement, put so eloquently.
