9 Year Old Girl Sent To Rehab After Refusing To Use Toilet While Playing Fortnite

Fox News – A 9-year-old girl in the United Kingdom was sent to rehab after she wet herself while refusing to stop playing the popular video game “Fortnite.”

The unidentified girl reportedly downloaded the game after she received an Xbox One in January and quickly became hooked.

“She was so hooked to the game she wouldn’t even go to the toilet,” the girl’s mother told the Sunday People. “My husband saw her light on in the night and found her sitting on a urine-soaked cushion playing the game.”

The parents said their daughter started showing aggressive behavior after becoming hooked on the game. She would fall asleep in school and becoming aggressive with her peers. The parents also said they discovered charges amounting to $67 a month to Microsoft on the family’s credit card statement. After the girl’s father tried to take away the Xbox, she reportedly slapped him across the face for attempting to withdraw the console.

“Over the last two months I’ve been ­contacted by dozens of parents with children as young as 8 showing signs of addiction to ‘Fortnite,’” Steve Pope, a counselor, told the Mirror.

This girl should’ve put on a diaper. What a stupid little kid. I’m glad her parents sent her to rehab because she clearly thought she was smarter than everyone else in her life and needed a bit of a wakeup call. I mean she slapped her dad in the face? Over Fortnite? That’s such a power move I would’ve had to respect it if she didn’t come crashing back down to earth by getting caught sitting on a pee-soaked cushion. Fucking rookie.

Anybody who’s ever been on a real video game binge knows that if you’re gonna be hydrating, and you should be, you need to plan ahead and be prepared to relieve yourself. Everybody poops. That’s a book. Everyone pees too. You don’t wanna stop playing Battle Royale? Get yourself a bottle to squat over or hit your local pharmacy and get some diapers, kiddo. It’s Degenerate 101.

You have to wonder what type of parents we’re dealing with here too. I mean who is this girl? Danny Ocean? Swiping ma and pa’s credit card and they just have no idea till they investigate the strong smell of shit coming from her bedroom? It just doesn’t add up.

All in all, it sounds like everyone wins here. This girl gets some time away to think about what she’s done and plan better ways to efficiently play Fortnite all night; the parents get a break from the responsibility of caring for another life, something they clearly suck at now. Maybe some time away from the game will re-energize them. I wouldn’t count on it though.
