World of Warcraft Allows 42-Year-Old Woman to Attack 16-Year-Old Boy With Sex

Parents, I have warned you time and time again that World of Warcraft is a sick, dangerous game that has caused high school drop outs, AIDS and drug use among our nation’s youth.
Now due to World of Warcraft, yet another innocent child has had his youth robbed from him by a gaming pervert. When will we put an end to this madness.
This harrowing story begins in the quaint town of Barrie, Ontario. It was a Tuesday evening when a 16-year-old Barrie child, Andrew Cane, casually asked his mother and father if they would drive him to a hotel in the nearby town of Midland.
Perplexed, his parents refused and did not know that their innocent child asked to go to this hotel because he was the victim of a World of Warcraft predator. Young Andrew Cane wanted to go to the hotel to meet a 42-year-old woman who had developed a secret relationship with him over the internet and World of Warcraft. As a parent, this is your worst nightmare.
As the light of day exited and the night arose, at 2am the front door of the Kane household creaked open. Marlene Kane was in her room when she heard the front door open. Her son had sneaked from the home.
Not knowing where he son had gone in the dead of the lonely night, all the poor, frightened Mrs. Kane had to go by was a trail of web chats that lead to Houston, Texas. Houston, the far-away hometown of the adult who was preying upon her son.
It was not until 2 days later when the child missing due to World of Warcraft was found. The boy, only in Grade 11, was feverishly searched for for all that time by his parents, who pleaded and appealed for his safe return home.
By this point in time, police suspected a 42-year-old mother of four was the child goblin; her name, Lauri Price. Allegedly, Price had flow to Toronto and then drove a rental car to meet the teen. They crossed paths and developed a secret relationship while playing the dangerous game of World of Warcraft.
“All they had to do was read the chat logs and they were immediately concerned,” Ms. Kane said of her son’s relationship with the woman. “He said she was his soulmate.”
Parents, World of Warcraft is an evil online swords-and-sorcery game that has caused disaster in homes and families worldwide.
It strikes fear in your heart and my heart to know that every year, over 800,000 children younger than 18 are missing each year. That is more that 2,000 of our children each day.
How often do you leave your child alone in his or her room, talking the night away with online strangers? It is only a matter of simple suggestion for them to trick your kid into meeting them in a seedy hotel or a black’s drug alley, where they will meet exploitation, prostitution and a possible stabbing death.
Over 60% of children who play online video games are accosted by strangers, meaning before long one is going to offer your kids to meet up with them in secret. Your teen may be tricked into it and you will not know until you see them dead on the 5 o’clock news.
Parents, I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to ban your child from World of Warcraft. It is a dangerous, evil game and has no place in the life of a child you want to live until adulthood.

Thank goodness she didn’t murder the poor child. Well, this whole situation is simply repulsive. I can’t imagine the torture this boy went through. Clearly the Warcraft game put some wrong ideas in both their heads. What was this old woman playing video games in the first place? To anyone in her family this should have been an early warning sign. And that poor boy! This story is just too sad for words.
Hot debate. What do you think?

so it’s the games fault that this kids parents sucks so much that they didn’t even explain the dangers of meeting up with a random person they meet over the internet?
NO ANYTHING THAT WENT WRONG HERE WENT WRONG BECAUSE THE PARENTS WERE IDIOTS!!!
the game was nothing but the place they meet each other. same thing could have happened if they had meet anywhere else. what if they had meet at a club? at some summer camp? what if she had been his teacher? it’s not the games fault the only thing the game did was alow them to meet.
was it the games fault the parents let the boy run away? was it the game thatr made him fall in love with that 42 year old? was it the game that made her hit on him? NO!!! anything bad happening related to warcraft happened because the people involved had horrible judgement and if their kids most likely horrible parents as well.

The fact that this happened via World of Warcraft is irrelevant.
if this woman wanted to prey on young children she would have used other means, and if this boy was foolish enough to want to meet someone off the internet whom he did not know, he would’ve met someone else and done it by other means.
This story could be repeated for ANY website or game. EVE online, Warhammar, Aion, Everquest, Guild Wars ect. And any website such as Facebook, mingleville, bebo, myspace, and even this one!
This website itself is no different! Its all just people meeting up, commenting on stuff, which gives you the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and may lead to you wanting to meet said person. by your logic if a 42 year old and a 16 year old met on this site then proceeded to meet In Real Life that would make this site “evil” and “dangerous”.

“Yes, but if the game didn’t exist how would she have found access to this boy?”
I didn’t mean that she would have got access to this boy personally, Just that if she was the kind of person who would do something like this anyway, then she would probably find someone else of a similar age, somewhere else.
“Did the type of game it was influence her desires and make the boy more pliable to her sexual advances?”
I do not see any direct correllation between World of Warcraft and this situation and why WoW would be the catalyst for this? Do you even know what the game is about? I really don’t see why the game would influence any desires of this kind at all.
“These questions haven’t been answered so don’t jump the gun but I suspect it’s the case that had they been playing Monopoly, none of this would have happened.”
No these questions have not been answered, however you seem perfectly able to “jump the gun” and assume that if they had been playing monopoly this never would have happened, which you cannot prove at all.

The game is not bad. It’s how people use the game that’s bad. Adults should know better than to strike up relationships with children, just like children should know better than to accept advances from adults. At age 16, that boy should have known better than to agree to meet someone he met online. Kids are taught early in life by their parents and by teachers to say “no” to strangers. It’s hammered into our heads constantly, so I don’t know why this 16 year old wasn’t smart enough to understand the dangers. When I was only 8 years old, I was smart enough to say no to a group of teenagers who tried to lure me down to a party next door. One of the girls tried to sucker me in by saying that she had the same Star Wars t-shirt as me, but I was smarter than that. Now, I’m not denying that child predation is a big problem in the world; it certainly is, but at age 16 you should be smart and responsible enough to not meet strangers from the internet. After all, it’s quite possibly one of the most dangerous things a kid could do – and it’s 100% avoidable.

“I don’t know why this 16 year old wasn’t smart enough to understand the dangers. “– Claire
It was precisely this game that made the boy vulnerable. The long hours playing it because of its addictiveness, threw down his defenses. The fantasy aspect of Warcraft opened him up to sexual exploration with adults. The violence of the game made him think he was an adult. And it was his desperate need for friends that forced him out of his home into the clutches of this equally corrupt old lady.

Yes, but not once have you cited sources for those claims, so, as with all of your articles, they’re going to be taken with a grain of salt.
“Young Andrew Cane wanted to go to the hotel to meet a 42-year-old woman”
Was he retarded or something?
“’He said she was his soulmate.’”
See above comment.
“or a black’s drug alley”

let’s take the church exemple with the same percentage 60% how many people world wide attend church around 5 Millions
You have more chance to get raped in church than In video game
You said it’s make No sens yes it’s make no sense Like the article itself

I agree with claire, i want to see some sources here. I play World of Warcraft, and not once have I been solicited for sex in it. This kid was just…..Retarded? I am 14 years old, and i am probably smarter than this dumb ass. Its common sense for someone not to go to a woman who is MORE than twice his age. It was stupid on his part, and stupid on the parent’s part for not watching it. You shouldn’t blame the game. World of Warcraft holds 11 million subscribers currently, they are not breaking laws, they are making a profit. It is only when stupid kids, and stupid parents are put together than it becomes a problem. If you are stupid enough to actually do something like that, hell you shouldn’t be able to read the manual of the game. As claire stated, cite your sources, i don’t see a single website or source. Also don’t place drug dealers and blacks in the same category, their are plenty of caucasian Drug Dealers, just as many black drug dealers their are. Amber is it people like you that make me sick, and should be deafenned from the rest of the world for your stupidity.

Hmm, nice try, but you’re not going to weasel your way out of this one. Unless I’m mistaken, you accused EbonyKitten of being racist. She and Ambiguous then asked you, very calmly, how she was being racist, to which you replied (very un-calmly) by *shouting* at them to calm down. Ahem, pot calling the kettle black? You have a tendency to hurl accusations, then change the subject (usually by telling the person to calm down) when you get called on them.

Thats not racist, or racism, please educate yourself before you start throwing around horrible accusations.
Racist/Racism Definition:
1. A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. A policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. Hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

My name is not showing anything to do at all with any of the above and therefore cannot be classed as racist.

Now I fully understand the right of free speech, and I do feel bad about what has happened to the child. But, the game is definitely not to blame. World of Warcraft is a program that has no mind of its own. And I know the people of Blizzard Ent. in now way shape or form will condone the actions of one sick individual. They have actually assisted law enforcement on at least one occasion recently. I have played World of Warcraft for many years now and I can tell you that I do not do drugs, have AIDS, dropped out of school (I graduated years ago), I have a decent job, pay my taxes, and other good and moral actions. I believe that if you are going to post stories that shoot down and try to hurt and damage a program that you probably have never played in your life. Then I for one think that makes you a terrible example of the upstanding moral beacon you seem to be claiming you are.

I just wanted to remind you all to look for the humor in situations instead of taking everything so seriously.

Well now stevie, i do take into consideration you are: devoted christian, journalist, and a somewhat comedian on here. So with that information i would assume you are intelligent as well. So here is my point of view, i see key words in your “post” or whatever you may say and i know how devoted you are, but sir, i say with much respect you are an imbecile, inconsiderate, stupid, racist, stereotypical, dumbass. I say that with love, and respect. You do note racism, stupidty, inconsideraty and above all, no common sense what so ever. Also, to bring up the homosexual part of this comment montage. People should be allowed who to marry, whatever sex they may be: lesbian, homosexual, heterosexual, i have heard before an “Item fetish”. You and others have said before that homosexuality is a sin, well i never read the bible because i am atheist and 14, but i assure you, if god wanted no “gays” then he would smite every single homosexual with somthing, i don’t know, lightning? But he did give human beings free will by your religion, therefore they can think about any sexuality they wish. Onto bringing wow into this, i also play, and very well that women did “seduce” somehow the teenager but you says parents should show some morals, well shouldn’t one be… stop talking to strangers online that might creep you out and if they want to meet you and you are for sex or they say they have a surprise for you, then you should tell your parents, i have to go now but i want to read what you and other people have to say on the subject so bye.

This story so reminds me of my cousin’s wedding. She met some amazing Christian dude on the internet through eHarmony. They promised to remain sexually pure before marriage and live their life for God. Soon afterwards he began to beat her and verbally abuse her. I think that World of Warcraft is just as damaging as that misleading site, connecting strangers and forcing them to a life of abuse and no freedom. I think the Lord is showing us everyday the evils of the internet, and even tries to gently and lovingly discourage the damage we do to ourselves by slowing down our internet connection, and sometimes completely disconnecting it! But us, weak in our unnatural desires re-boot and begin the process again. Why did the heavens fail at the Y2K attempt? We shall all perish because of the perversions the internet casts upon us like the evil magic used to capture the players of World of Warcraft!

yes contact with other human beings is an evil and bad thing. lets listen to this guys advice and all lock ourselves into our rooms and never interact with anyone. oh wait useing the internet to interact actually PREVENTS this as i have yet to hear about anyone being phsycaly abused over the internet(not like we can really do shit about mental abuse sadly) your logic is falwed. yes bad people exists in this world and yes it is posible that you get in contact with one of them over the internet. but it’s just as likely to meet one randomly on the street. yes there is a problem but that problem is other people not the internet. and there’s nothing we can do about it what so ever

the thing is in no way did you make it obvious that you were sarcastic.
about 80% of comunication comes through the way you use your voice and your body language and it is mainly useing those 2 things we show we are sacastic. on the internet for obvious reason you can’t use these 2 things and there for your sarcasm is easily lost in translation. when you are sarcastic either simply say it was sarcatic or go so much over the top no body can be mistaken you are sarcastic.

I have a minor complaint about the writing of this article, the poor grammar, spelling and punctuation make it difficult to read this article and takes away from the overall effect of the article, which I am assuming, is humor. For example: “When will we put an end to this madness.” – this is a question and should end in a question mark. “It is a dangerous, evil game and has no place in the life of a child you want to live until adulthood.” – is missing the word ‘whom’ between ‘child’and ‘you’. “Her son had sneaked from the home.” – should be ‘snuck’, not ‘sneaked’ and the sentence itself should be restructured. There are other errors throughout.
I believe that this article would have been more effective as a joke had it been edited prior to posting. As it is, it just reads like a teenager wrote it and makes it difficult to follow. I would have enjoyed the laugh had I not had to wade through the poor use of the English language. Just please take the time to edit before you post an article so that it can be thoroughly enjoyed.

OK, I have read a few of these, and I now have the urge to reply.
As a God fearing and God loving man, I do not see the harm in World of Warcraft. Its called active parenting. Don’t sit your kid down in front of the TV/Computer and then leave them to their devices. This is wrong.
Monitor them, guide them away from unsafe actions and circumstances. There are predators in chat rooms looking for kids to molest, trust me. Any community will have its bad apples, don’t blame the community. I am giving up smoking, alcohol, and tobacco. Why? Because they are unhealthy, and pollute the Temple of my Lord. My wife also plays WoW. She went from being bisexual to married with her second child on the way. Often times we play WoW together. Our kids, if it is still around, will be able to choose if they want to play. However, I will be here watching them, if not playing alongside them, the whole time. To monitor what is happening and to tell the right from wrong. God does it for us, we do it for our children.
The problem is not World of Warcraft, the problem is much, much bigger. WoW is entertainment, pitting the classic good versus evil story. Even when evil is gray(The Horde), there is a bigger evil for them. And as an aside, I see a link to “How the Golden Girls turned boys into gays”…I grew up with that show. Still love it.
Did I mention I was married?

Amber,
“I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to ban your child from world of warcraft”
That is one the most idiotic things I have ever heard. I have played World of Warcraft on and off for a couple years now. I know about ten people who play as well. If I have chatted with hundreds, maybe thousands of players, and have never been accosted, or asked to meet up in real life. None of my ten or so friends who play have ever been approached either.
Lastly, for saying that World of Warcraft “allowed” a child predator to find a child, you and anyone who agrees with you is mentally retarded. Nobody can say that yahoo, msn, aol, or any other chat programs or online chat rooms, can be responsible for a child predator.
Amber, you are a complete social recluse, and an idiot. You make all Christians out to be mentally challenged. I hope that no one ever makes the mistake of letting you post on their website again.

I would like to say a few things. First, you should look at twittering and such as to why a teenager would “misspell” words. This isn’t the oldin’ days where you spelled things perfect. This is the age of the internet. You spell things quickly and to the point. It doesn’t mean your stupid, it means you just wanna get what you wanna say out quickly. Ever heard of short hand? Second, I play WoW and i am 29 years old. I play with my husband who is 42 years old. We did not meet on the game, but both enjoy it. The reason being my husband is a disabled Vet and WoW is something he can do for fun without causing a unberable amount of pain. Third, I am a co-GM of a guild. We have minimal teenagers. But, the teenagers we do have do very will in school and do others things outside of WoW. I am very proud of them at the fact they can balance so many things out with RL (real life). Fourth, it is against terms of service for WoW gamers to do things that violate others in anyway. I have been harassed and have reported it to WoW employess who promptly responded by banning the persons account. WoW can only do so much to try and keep all the millions of people safe that play. But, they are doing their best. Fifth, Instead of blaming a game for someones obvious mental problems. Blame the person and the parents for not paying enough attention to what their child does. I have 7 children who do get online and do play WoW. I monitor everything they do. I have family protection programs that blocks certain sites and I have a timer set up on WoW itself to shut off after a certain amount of time. I also do not let them play on role-playing realms as you can find more “problems”. All children should be kept safe. But, maybe instead of attacking a game. Get WoW, create a character, create a guild, and get the word of God out there. It’s just another place where people can talk about their beliefs.
Let only those without sin cast the first stone.

“Over 60% of children who play online video games are accosted by strangers, meaning before long one is going to offer your kids to meet up with them in secret.”
Can you clarify this statement? As in, the children are accosted because they played the online game, or because of the nature of life?
By that logic, 100% of people who believe in the lord Jesus Christ end up dead.

Let’s blame the parents first, who failed to inform their son that they shouldn’t be out looking to meet people they find on the internet at that age. It’s easy to blame something from the mesosphere of influence, instead of the microsphere.
Instead of establishing limits of time online, they let him go at his leisure. They could set a time limit with their router to limit the access, or set an administrative password to limit his time there, too. There are too many reasons the parents could have done to prevent this. They should be sitting with the blame fully on their shoulders, not the programmers at Blizzard.

The internet, World Of Warcraft , and Gay People do not corrupt the minds of children. The lack of adult interaction , association, and caring is what is curropting children.
Instead of blaming a game you never played, have no idea about or even can wrap your stuck in the 60′s head around, lets put the blame where it truly lies, PARENTS!
Since time eternal young men as young as 12 were sneaking out and laying with younger women, in fact up until about the 1940′s it was very common for a young man to take up with a “more experinced women” usually a widow to learn the ins and outs of sexual intercourse. This also allowed the men to stay single longer and thus marry young women when they themselves were much older. It’s funny how the church that once encouraged women to marry before the age of 16 now finds the fact of a 16 year old with a 42 year old women disturbing.
I personally find the fact disturbing and even more so find the fact the church ever encouraged such nonsense even more disturbing.
However when it comes to online interaction, parents need to educate themselves the Church needs to educate themselves, it’s not enough to go ooh look i paid to have someone put up a website and post, The church wants to reach youth you need to go into there world, and there world is online.
Parents Preachers Teachers I highly encourage you to stop playing police and get to know the children and there worlds. Online Role Play is no different truly then a child going to a school dance, or to the next counties over social gathering. A child should be taught that there are dangers with talking to anyone be it Real Life or Internet, fact is there is probably more dangers at the school dance or Social gathering even a church gathering then there is on the internet. So Stranger Danger rules apply in both places.
However what i have seen is that parents the church and the school are to busy for children. The pastor has more important things to do then get to know these strange children, the parents are to busy working and the teachers are so busy that all they want is there paycheck. The only place most children are getting any attention is online.
I got an idea download the game your kid is playing (don’t play with them persay) but get to know where your child is playing, just like you’d of checked out a playground or home before hand. Make sure you use the Parental settings, World of Warcraft has several handy parental settings that could of saved this boy before it got this bad. Do not allow your child on anything till you know as much about it as he or she does. If your child is talking to a Guild or group ask the older people if anything seems odd, belive it or not many of us online geeks are very much against endangering children cause we have our own. I don’t know how many times I spent talking to a child online about things they should of been speaking to there parents about, but the answer to where the parents they’re out they’re working, well what about church answer church is for old people, they don’t really want us there.. Odd how you sit online and preach the dangers of World of Warcraft when the true danger is yourself and neglect of the children in your own community and the blind eye you turn as parents attend church without children as children sit home alone while parents are to busy…
Just know that not everyone on the internet is out to harm your child I personally play these games with my children and i sit by with 4 numbers handy The Suicide Hot line, The Child Help Hotline, the Parent Help Hot line and the Poison control Hot line. because kids come in the game all the time threatening to kill themselves, or with emotional problems , or even worst hey me and my friends were playing around and we swallowed ___________. My only thought is There is so much i can do on a game where you don’t know whose really on the other end, but if they listen and they get help then thank god i was there. However where is the support they should of had at home why are they seeking it in a game? Hmm the church and parents seem to be failing. Start having these convos in your own congregation before you bring it online. You just sound ignorant, and I don’t think for a minute Jesus would approve of ignorance and indifference when it comes to children.
