MODIIN, Israel - The Factor family, Warren, Nancy and their children 6 thru 16 invented Mahjong Junior, a children’s version of mahjong. Three years ago while living in Boca Raton, Florida , Nancy Factor came home to find her five children unresponsive to her call for dinner. Mrs. Factor claims her children were watching T.V. as though they were in a trance. She was so disturbed by this sight that she decided to take a stand. She disconnected the television set. “It was quite a challenge,” Nancy says. “I had to drive with the T.V. cord in the trunk of my car, or my kids would find a way to reconnect it.”
