French prosecutors claimed that the boy’s father left his young son at home to go shopping, but instead of coming right back, he decided to play Pokémon Go, the mobile game that achieved viral fame when it was released in 2016. The father faces two years in prison for endangering his child, reports Business Insider, South Africa. The game has since declined in popularity. (Visited 3,719 times, 117 visits today)
