who would have imagined that such thing will occur to that boy. all he wants is to enjoy and to have fun. i think its a lesson for us all to monitor our kids if we have one and be aware of the dangers that new technologies can give us. the best way to prevent this is to spend quality time on our loved ones. and do things moderately... Nice thread! Very informative.
