«Breaking News» Children as young as 11 are being taken into care over fears they are addicted to gaming

Children as young as 11 are being taken into care over fears they are addicted to gaming, with 13 youngsters removed from their families in two months over computer use.

Data shows that children from Yorkshire, Merseyside, London, Gloucestershire and the Isle of Wight were removed over gaming issues, reports the Mirror.

In what is believed to be the first cases of their kind, some of the youngsters were taken away because of their own addiction, while others were neglected by parents playing the games too much themselves. 

Now experts are warning parents to look out for signs of gaming addiction, including shutting themselves away and losing interest in friends and other hobbies.

Professor Mark Griffiths, a ­behavioural ­addiction specialist from Nottingham Trent University, told the Mirror: 'This problem is increasing. People are now being taken in to care because of their gaming and I am not surprised.

'What I'm talking about is ­children mainly between eight and 18. If there is parental responsibility ­children wouldn't have unfettered access around the clock. 

'We are talking about gaming that takes over a child's life to the neglect of all else.'

Professor Griffin says that any parent concerned about their child should get a referral to a clinical psychologist to tackle the problem.

Back in June, it was announced that doctors were set to launch the first NHS internet addiction clinic amid fears over dangerous online video games.

The clinic, which is yet to be approved, would help adults and children with gaming disorders and be run by an NHS foundation trust in London.  

The plans were announced after the World Health Organisation classed 'gaming disorder' as a mental health condition for the first time.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
