More than 2.7 million children in the country are game addicts, according to the latest estimate based on a nationwide survey.
Conducted during the second quarter of this year, the survey covers 20,000 children. Its findings show as many as 15 per cent of children are addicted to games.
“Children with serious game addictions are aggressive and have violence tendency. Some may physically hurt their parents or attempt suicides when barred from playing games,” Assoc Prof Chanvit Pornnoppadol said Monday at the launch of “Thai Children and IT” project.
