SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean man angry with his daughter\'s Web surfing faced possible charges on Monday after he threw a computer monitor out of his 12th-floor apartment, hitting a four-year-old girl below on the head, police said.
A police official said the man, 49-year-old Park Yong-ju, had got angry when he returned to his flat in Seoul on Saturday. His 20-year-old daughter was playing an online computer game and failed to greet him, as Korean custom requires.
When she declined to let him join the game, he grabbed the monitor and flung it through the balcony window, the official said by telephone.
The screen hit four-year-old Han Jung-in, causing severe facial injuries but no brain damage, a hospital official said.
"She was very lucky, considering the severity of the accident," the official said. The girl was in a stable condition.
About 55 percent of South Korean households have at least one computer, and the country has the largest number of high-speed broadband Internet connections per capita in the world.
Police said an arrest warrant had been issued and further investigations were under way. Under the South Korean legal system, police ask prosecutors to issue warrants.

I bet it is just that crowded over there where it is impossible to throw anything up in the air and not hit someone on the way down.
Do they have any land left without someone standing on it?
