Boy runs away from home after parents take away World of Warcraft |

He would play all day and throughout the night |
A 12-year-old boy from California reportedly ran away from home after his parents took away his World of Warcraft video game.
“We were so worried about him. We couldn’t find him anywhere,” said mother Dorothy Rollins about her son’s disappearance.
“We called everyone, our neighbors, his friends. Nobody had a clue about where he could be,” she said.
According to Stanton Weekly, the parents of 12-year-old Damien Rollins decided to take away his World of Warcraft video game after they say he became addicted to it. That night, the 12-year-old apparently left his room and vanished.
“He got it [WoW] for his birthday and hasn’t stopped playing it since,” said Damien’s father, Thomas Rollins.
“It got to the point at which he would play all day and throughout the night. More than 15 hours nonstop sometimes,” said Dorothy.
After looking for hours, the parents finally gave up and called the local authorities. When police arrived, Dorothy received a phone call from her son.
After his World of Warcraft was taken away, Damien apparently became upset and stayed in hiding at a friend’s backyard before making the call home.
Damien was returned home soon after and reunited with his parents.
“He’s learned his lesson. We’ll let him play the game occasionally, but not for hours and hours at a time,” Dorothy said.
