It's his son's fault for thinking it would be a good idea to drive without an adult and with a cellphone in his hand just for one Pokemon. In what way makes this the app's fault for his stupidity?

you are stupid

Your not the 15 year old are you?

That's interesting. the above comment #36 was not directed at #23 but someone else which has been completely removed?

You are SofaKing stupid. Pokemon go isn't the problem, it is a factor to an actual problem. that problem is using a phone while driving.

Your words "just one Pokemon". If the game never existed there would not be Pokemon for him to go drive and get.

If the game never existed, it's just be another reason. It's not like accidents and reckless driving only started after the game came out

Yeah, because stupidity in people only started to sprout up once Pokemon Go came out.

I agree with both of you, he could have driven of because of any reason, But this is a Pokemon go problem because he went after a Pokemon. I also think the dad should have taken the phone away.

Dad's life sucks because he will have to spend a few more years driving his idiot son around. Hopefully the son learned a lesson. The phones go DOWN when driving, and you don't drive without an adult.

#17: Aside from the spelling mistakes, I have to say I agree with your comment. The game is dangerous, and overall not even what it was meant to be. People will just drive off to find a Pokemon instead of walking, as they're supposed to.

What did I spell wrong and I hate my autocorrect sometimes my phone just changes this and I didn't notice

People play it because it's an interesting concept. The game itself isn't dangerous, because there's a ******* warning sign before the game starts up that reads something like "look up and pay attention to your surroundings". And it's common sense that you shouldn't be playing it while driving if using your cellphone while driving can get you pulled over. I think people who have lost all common sense are those that don't pay attention while playing this game, and those that think the game is dangerous just because of those stupid people.

People love to blame games..people are ******* idiots. It's that simple. Take away the game they'll play another, text, or just keep being dumb. My mom and I were almost hit twice recently, both times the person wasn't distracted by a phone or anything. In one the girl decided to try to drive through a red light quickly- could've seriously hurt or killed me. In the second the person was talking to the passenger, head turned. Pokemon go didn't create the idiots.

I plain don't like Pokemon Go. I'm in my mid 20s this is a kids game. I think is a bad game because people are getting hurt because there not paying attention. This op was really irresponsible he attached to his phone. He shouldn't have even had the phone with him while he was practicing driving.

It's not the game itself that's bad. It's how and when people decide to use it. Don't blame the game for people's lack of common sense.

op was not driving the kid was.

Did you read my post. It began with your son

1. I'm thirty and I love Pokemon and Pokemon go. Anyone- ANYONE- at any age who ever busts out 'that's for KIDDDDDS' is insecure, immature, and an idiot, to be perfectly honest. Would you like me to go into the intricasies of IV/EV/shiny breeding in pokemon, by the way? Here's a hint; we'd be here for hours and I don't think you'd get it. 2. Blaming the game for the kid being an idiot? Do you blame games and movies and video games for people killing other people, too? Same concept. Stupid people are stupid...it doesn't matter what they are or aren't doing.

So this is why there are so many damn idiotic drivers on the road? Mine made damn sure I actually got them.

When I got my license they didn't require any kind of proof that you actually did the hours.
