WHO: Xinning Gui, assistant professor, and Yubo Kou, Haile Family Early Career Professor in IST, both in the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST)

WHAT: A story and video on WHTM news reported that many parents are unaware of the dangers that online gaming can present to their children.
