A girl in England with a heart condition died a day after caring for a crying virtual baby for school, and her dad blames the stress of the day she spent caring for the pretend infant, according to this parentdish.com story.
I haven’t heard about any such tragic circumstances surrounding local use of virtual babies, but I know from talking with one mom of a daughter in a Belvidere high school that she was stressed some by having to “babysit” for the virtual infant when her daughter went to work.
