Re: Head Teachers in the UK Issue Warning to Parents on 18-Rated Games Being Played by Children

@MadAdam81 Alright then I got it wrong. I am sorry for that. But still I've read that if they do it a second or a third time, the parent will have their child taken away. This is not something I approve. I think a parent should have their own freedom to how to raise their kids (.at least if they don't abuse them) An informational letter where the parents get to know which games will com out in the next months which are probably bad for the kid is enough because in the end the parents should have the last words and the right to how they should raise their kids (at least if they don't abuse them).
And also, I still won't accept this before I have seen decent studies on what "bad effect" 18+ games have. Even though I am thinking that they probably have a bad effect, I want to see proof.

"Why did your mum lose the allowance to raise you?"
" 'Cause she bought me GTA V when I was 9"
"Was she actually bad?"
"No. She spent much time with me even though she works full time and seemed to love me more than anyone. And how is your mum?"
"Well, she drinks, smokes all day, is lazy and doesn't do that much besides work, but she buys me normal toys so she is allowed to raise me."

Guys guys. If you want me to accept this, give me proof that its harmful. Saying something is harmful doesn't make it harmful. And TAKING AWAY the parents?? If an 8 year old loses their parents because he played an 18 rated game, how would THAT effect be like? I bet it would be worse. But since I don't know it myself, I can't judge it. I want studies which show that playing games at a too young age is bad.
