This is sad and disgusting. Addictions, especially when the wrong people have them result in harm to others. It sounds as if the kid had tantrums at times too which probably set him off even further.

Abuses are probably far more common than people appreciate especially in a caste system like Canada where opportunity is scarce and often reserved for the upper caste. Businesses don't want you to know, from gambling establishments to video game and social media companies.


A Calgary mother whose boyfriend murdered her three-year-old daughter after the girl interrupted his video game delivered a powerful victim impact statement Thursday, telling her ex that she is "ashamed" to have ever known him.

"I hope her face haunts you til the day you die," Helen Wordsworth told Justin Bennett at his second-degree murder sentencing hearing.

Ivy Wick died of her injuries after eight days on life support in hospital in the fall of 2017.

When she was admitted to hospital, Bennett told police and medical staff he heard a "scream and a thud" come from the girl's room where she'd run after getting in trouble for a tantrum.
