You mean I have to control my kids?!

I don’t care how far I’m going back, I want to address this topic, damn it.

Video games, children, and violence.

Do I think that the video games are the cause of violence in children?  Hell no.  Do I believe that there are people that can’t handle certain video games because they are mentally unstable?  Hell yes.

 

Parents, do not go pointing your fingers at video game companies, movie companies, etc. to blame them for your kid acting violent.  Learn how to control your own kid and discipline them.  Do not blame everyone else for your crappy parenting skills.  Furthermore, if you are so worried about it, why don’t you pay closer attention to what your kid is watching/playing?  There’s an idea for you.  There is a difference between a child playing a video games (especially if they are playing a game specifically rated for their age) and someone that is mentally unstable playing a video game that is violent.  It is the parents job to teach their children what is reality and what is fantasy.  Someone who has psychological issues may not realize the difference and go shooting up a movie theater dressed the Joker.
