Ok I HAVE TO reply to this. This is just sad and more so that the kid comes from my town. You know If I ask around Im sure I could find out where this kid lives. Everything.

But living here, I can believe it all to well. I am not surprised the least.

Same here. But what would you expect from a game like WoW?

So what happened to her other boyfriends?

Funny. Another person oblivious to the people around him that realize this isn't a good thing.

Parents fault really. If he was playing it every hour of everyday like they claimed and skipping school they should of taken action. It's really not hard if they refuse to go you march them into there class and embarrass them you don't back down and let them do as they please.

And you're a complete **** **** if your kid then asks you to drive him to a **** HOTEL and alarm bells don't start ringing. Feel sorry for the woman though..shes been embarrassed and made to look like some pervert child snatcher all cause he lied about his age.

Ew nasty she's level 42..oh wait she IS 42.
I honestly didn't know the age of consent here is 16, I had thought it was 18. That kid is pretty messed up he could've been raped or something if that woman was a man and really who the hell wants to hook up with a 42 year old unless she's super sexy and what are the chances of that sexy woman playing WOW? Yeah. Really low.

At least it's not a fat dude that looks like the comicbook nerd from The Simpsons trying to date a innocent girl the age of 16, amirite?

I wouldn't post just one emoticon and leave it at that. So...

#-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o / #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o #-o

That's 10 face palms out of 10 for people who can't tell. This just proves to me what my dad says all the time. 95% STUPID!!! (That's the percentage of stupid people in America.) I tend to agree when I see things like this. :lol:

This is just making the reputation of us WoW players look even worse. Mind you, you wouldn't see any of this happening in the UK. Chances are people my age are too busy knocking up teenagers to play an online game.

/ironic stereotype

I think this is strange but it doesn't seem that harmful to the boy. I mean it's not like the woman is a pedophile or anything. And I think you have to be 16 anyway to have consensual *** with someone older. I do think he shouldn't have met up with her until he was 18 though and not dependent on his parents. Running away just isn't the right approach and is really irresponsible.

I mean yeah it's sad the boy has been wasting his life away on WoW instead of meeting girls his age but I'm sure when he first started talking to the 42 year old he wasn't like "Yeah! Score! I'm going to hook up with her!" Someone can't really choose who they fall in love with.

I must sound crazy. Oh well.

I think it's just another one of those cases that prove how people with a tendency to dysfunction can be aggravated by addiction to a game as addictive as WoW. I mean, really, is WoW sooo much more important than school that you should not go to school at all? I agree, the warning bells in the parents' minds should have gone off a looong time ago. Of course, love can be found just about anywhere, but still, the kid is only 16 and spending his time on school and preparation for the SAT or the Canadian equivalent, finding a girlfriend, and not secretly dating someone nearly 3 times his age over the internet...

OK, the heavy WoW addiction causing him to skip school is horrible and the main issue I see,
but I don't see why everyone is going nuts over the relationship. I know someone who is married to someone 18 years older than them, and they are perfectly happy. 16 is the age of consent in many places anyway.

Lol
So get this, we know its confirmed the two had ***.
So here in Ontario the age of consent is 16. Lady wasn't fined here, she was never arrested. But get this in Texas the age of consent is 17. Lets just say they were waiting for her when she went back home. Lol.

On our local news one comment was made about this and how we should have tougher laws like Texas. Lol. That's always great, lets be like Texas :P
