Ow btw Child Protection Services wants to know why your 11 year old is playing 16+ games.... >_>

Did I say MY child?  What I meant to say was, "My, that child sure does play a lot of video games....."  I don't know whose kid that is!

In all seriousness, I'm usually there beside her and often times, I'm her co-op partner.  Yeah, there's been a few games (for example LA Noire and Red Dead Redemption) where I'd see something that goes outside of what I think is okay.  When that happens, I turn the game off and forbid her to play them.  I usually don't have much of a problem with video game violence.  And she's watched enough South Park and Family Guy to where I can sense when a joke is going over her head or if it's something a little too adult for her to see/hear.

I hope Sleeping Dogs doesn't have any surprises.  She was looking forward to that game and I'm not going to start playing until she gets home in an hour or two.  It's actually pretty awesome.   I fire up the console and she grabs a bunch of teddy bears and blankets and watches me play.  Then, she starts her own file--sometimes beating a game before I do (Saints Row 3 for example.......really shouldn't have let her play that one, though!).
