For 2 Weeks? –
June 4, 2018 – A nine-year-old girl living in the UK was sent to an addiction rehabilitation program after becoming addicted to “Fortnite,” the wildly popular video game with more than 125 million players, the girl’s parents told British newspaper The Sunday People. The girl’s mother, Carol (whose last name was not used to protect the family’s privacy), told The Sunday People that they bought their daughter an XBox in January, where the daughter played the game. By March, the parents noticed her grades were slipping, she’d been neglecting extracurricular activities, and racking up charges on their credit card for in-game purchases. Her teachers told them she was falling asleep in class.
