Ooo, sorry to hear about this. That's why the experts say to never let a kid have the computer in their room. Hopefully you and your sister got involved in time.

I'm no psychologist but know one (actually I stayed at a Holiday Inn....oops, sorry couldnt resist), but from what I've been told it's normal for kids to get obsessed or deeply into something new like a video game or computer or whatever. However, it's up to us adults to try to help them with balance...how is another story.

Best of luck to your sis and you with this. The Internet is a scary place for a kid (not sure how old he is but scary for most up to 18).
