I don't think that this would be such a problem if parents actually listened to the labels. If it's rated 'M' for Mature, it means the player must be over 18, and yet I have seen nine-year-olds playing these games because their parents let them.

I wonder if that has anything to do with teenage pregnancy or child killers.

I agree with you Anbu. I've seen some parents actually sit and watch as their kids go around and shooting people and having sex with them in a car and I'm thinking really your letting this happen? Not literally though, in the games that they play. I remember growing up my mom wouldn't even let me watch people kissing in the movies. Times are different now, through video games it seems like kids are losing their childhood. Some I've seen become less sociable and can't communicate to the public.

The real problem here is bad parenting, the video game choice is only the results of that bad parenting. Of course game makers could turn down the violence and n-dity and game sellers could choose to ensure the enforcement of selling games to the right age group but where money is involved all the morality goes out the window.

For parents, if they were not already raised by their own parents without morals then what will they care to share the same 'teaching' with their own children? We live in a world where abuse among children is rampant, more than we think therefore these parents are desensitized and pass it off as its just a game.
