Control your kid ! It is not the game producers fault you let them sit 24/7 on the game question your !!!! parenting skills !!

Parents time would be better spent controlling their kids’ access to computer games. Why nowadays do parents always look to blame everyone but themselves?

🙈🤣

Another bad parent blaming someone else!

Good

They’ll probably use the payout to buy Vbucks 😂😂

parents to blame

Come on, that hard up for money? You paid for whatever your kids bought and you allowed them to play in lengths of time. Now you want to blame someone else. I hope you lose and have to pay all attorney fees. This is a waste of court time!

They should be suing for allowing their children to play indoors instead that outdoors

It's a publicity stunt,the new call of duty is out in a few week,fortnight will be back suckingvthe money out of your kids pockets.

I think it's brilliant, more kids might finally go outside more often. I mean this headline proves that some parents don't give a crap about their kids.

I have an idea, parents be parents take the consoles, laptops, computers, tablets away

Take the game of them ? Your the parent why didn’t you stop them ?

Why don’t you spend your time looking after your children? Computers are not baby sitters

Nothing to do with poor parenting of course 🙄

Lawyers. Where’s Shakespeare when he’s needed?

And it's the Game Maker's fault eh?

Isn't Fornite rated PEGI 12? So the family of the 10 yr old haven't got a leg to stand on .

Turn off the Internet then, don’t blame the game makers.

Poor people do anything for their 5 minutes of “Sun” fame

So not the fact they they bought the kids the game, the game console, could take it from them at any point...also allowing a 10 year old to play a 12 rated game?

No that’s just poor parenting

£££££££££££££££

This'll trigger some snowflakes.

😂😂😂😂😂
