Well i could read this article from both perspectives (the parent and the child) because i am a very young parent...And from what i've read I think that it is the parents fault for letting their kid become so addicted. There is really no reason that it would be the kid's fault for becoming so overly addicted to something like that.Even though he is 15 or whatever age he is his parents are still able to control what he does. And for the fact that he would skip school for so long his mom should of kept better track of her kid and what he was doing.
