Heyyo,
Hah! It's the parents fault. They buy them the violent games, they let them play them, and now? they make it so you can sue.. great. Hey, if I ever become a dad I'm givign my son a gun n' a copy of Counter-Strike and unleas him onna convenience store.. I could make a profit.
Lol, ok, to be serious, there's ratings on the boxes for a damn reason. I told my aunt this, and she's like, "ok" and next time I visit.. me young cousin is playing "Navy Seals" rated M... I mean, put some effort into this eh? What you say and do directly influences your kid. If he likes gaming? you should learn aboot gaming. If he's into sports? learn aboot the sports he likes. you can't have no knowledge then point the finger of blame at the first thing you think caused it.
Me? I'd tell my kids when they're older, and mature they can play the more violent games. Thank god I taught me younger cousin what me aunt can't: Games are ok to play, violent ones too. Just remember, it's just a game, don't EVER do this stuff in real life. Now if I kick back n' play a game with him he laughs n' has a blast. I taught him good sportsmanship n' how to keep the games with the games. That's how I'd handle parenting. Shielding only works soo much until the kid sneaks off n' tries it elsewhere. Might as well teach them aboot it n' tell them wether it's cool, or not cool to do that.
So? parenting's a 2 way relationship, kids n' parents. It takes effort from both sides to keep it a healthy family relationship.
