At first I thought this might be an April Fool's... but it looks like it is genuine. It's certainly the usual well-balanced fare you would expect from the Mail. Rather than try and analyse the cause of the 'problem' they take the usul lazy approach of using video games as a scapegoat. It could be argued that it's the increased fear of abduction, that tabloid journalism has done such a good job of instilling in parents, that means they don't let their kids play outside. The other problem with this is the implication that 'childhood' is some kind of sacrosanct period in a person's life; isn't the concept actually an invention of the 20th century... and limited to wealthy, developed countries?
