Child subjected to pornography whilst playing Xbox Live UNO

Father and three-year-old daughter subjected to pornography whilst playing UNO on Xbox Live.

What game is more innocent than UNO? The classic children's card game was brought to Xbox Live Arcade by Carbonated Games and Microsoft Game Studios in 2006. The game offers multiplayer for up to four, where players can drop in and out of games at any point.

UNO also supports the Xbox Live Vision camera, which allows opponents to view an image of other players whilst playing the game. What better game to help demonstrate the family fun of Xbox Live?

One helpful brother explains how he was showing his sister how to play an online Xbox Live game by creating an open UNO game. His Xbox Live Vision camera was turned on - showing him, his sister, and his three-year-old daughter sitting on his lap.

What happens next is unbelievable. A fellow player with camera capability joins the game. The player goes about playing porn on his PC, then points his camera at the pornographic images and leaves it there for all other UNO players to see. The father/brother expresses his disgust on gaming forum NeoGAF;

"Really now. Is that necessary? My daughter is plainly sitting there on my lap and yet he puts the porn on anyway?

"I wouldn't mind if it was a bunch of guys around...but he could clearly see my daughter and another person with a tag of 'twins mom'...and then he does that. C'mon. That ain't right."

It surely isn't. Regulating this type of behaviour is difficult, but the offending person should suffer the consequence of having his gamertag banned, and further, being thrown off Xbox Live for good. Microsoft should concentrate on getting rid of these nutters, rather than people that happen to have the word "gay" in their name.

And even though research on the damage caused by exposing youth to pornographic material is not yet conclusive, police authorities could get involved and make this Xbox player suffer much worse than getting kicked off Xbox Live. Worth the joke?
