They are sufficient but Germany doen't like leaving those kinds of things up to parents.  

This law comes from the "Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons.  Yep, that's a real department in Germany.

and i don't really now what that department is you are talking about but in german it is the "federal department for family, seniors and youth"

yeah after a while i knew what you meant and i changed my post, those are to control it but not those who made the law. (at least i don't think so)

no clue but isn't there something in usa which has youth protection as task? how is that called? i think all those departments sound stupid^^

but the rest still stands, most parents are useless for media protection.

Yes, but not one specifically dedicated to fighting the effects of media. I believe that the CPS (Child Protective Services) are primarily concerned with preventing child abuse and neglect.
