cyber orphan

The phrase used for the children who can't get their parents/caregivers off the computer/internet.

Mommy i'm hungry, and the mom says let me finish this game. 1 hour later, the mom is still finishing the game, and the kid is still hungry. 5 hours later, still on the computer! That kid has just become a cyber orphan.
