Sweden. Don't let the pancakes, Volvos and pop music fool you — game addiction is alive and well. According to the country's biggest online paper, Aftonbladet, a 15 year-old boy in Dalsland, Sweden has been place in a treatment home due to video game abuse. The kid had stopped going to school, no longer hung out with friends and stayed up all night gaming. When he parents tried to step in, he got aggressive. Local authorities got involved, and the courts put him in a treatment home. Bet he can't wait to get out for some serious gaming fun!
