I did play PG13 and some older rated games when I was 10 years old but most of those parents don't even know their kids well enough to make an educated decision on what to allow them nowadays, they just want them off their back. Besides, graphics and violence on screen are way more graphic then they were 20 years ago. Playing Street Fighter and playing GTA are two very different things. |
To me it is not so much the buying as the attitude. My parents bought me M rated games before I was 18, but they also talked to me and took notice of any poor behavior with discipline (I lost my Sega Genesis for month after I shouted a swear word...and that was losing at NHL 94).
On this issue, children being exposed by parents to media is not a crime or a form of abuse. It may be irresponsible or neglectful, but we cannot micro manage every aspect of parenting.
