Whats wrong with parents? Eleven year old child in France gets GTA 5 and freaks out

Well...it depends on the parents, but yes censorship is kind of needed to make sure things don't get out of hand. Those who are applicable should be able to see said things. Those who have no value for guidelines will not care. Children by default in most cases lack the depth perception to see the issue.

But this is what I'm pointing at. Censorship, to a degree, may be admitable if it comes from your parents. But from the media? No. A father should be more of capable to understand what can he teach his son/daughter. Kids are curious by nature, and as you can see in this whole thread, we've all avoided censorship to see what's beneath it. It's part of being a child. It's going to happen eventually, no matter how "protective" or "caring" (which you're not if this is how you think) you are with your child. My father smoke when he was 10 years old. Do you really think that's what he wanted for me? No, but he didn't censorship things to me. He merely explained them. A father committed the same mistakes their sons will do, so there's just no point in censoring these kind of things.

Purchasing GTA V to your 11 years old son might not be the best idea, but trust me, given his reaction, this kid would have gotten his way onto the game one way or the other.
