Delhi Boy’s Death: 11 Hours of Gaming, A Tragic Warning
A ten-year-old boy was found dead in Delhi on August 3, 2025, hanging from a pipe in his home. Preliminary investigations by Delhi Police suggest a possible suicide linked to excessive mobile gaming and YouTube consumption, totaling approximately eleven hours daily.
The boy, whose parents were both working, had stayed home from school due to heavy rainfall. He was reportedly engrossed in online games and videos for extended periods.
Police are exploring various angles, including potential disciplinary actions from parents and the psychological impact of prolonged screen time on the child. The investigation is ongoing.
This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of unchecked screen time for children, especially in the absence of adequate parental supervision. The need for responsible digital parenting and increased awareness about online addiction among parents and educators is now more crucial than ever.
