@ bolded; True, but it can still be a sign of irresponsible parenting generally - see my response to DakonBlackblade, 3 posts up.
It's not illegal for a child to play a game that is rated above their chronological age . But it is illegal for PEGI 12, 15 and 18 games to be sold to kids under those respective ages. The PEGI system is there for parents to make an informed decision when buying games for their kids.
There is enough evidence both for and against the claims that 18+ games (and violent films, for that matter) have a direct impact on the actions or behaviour of kids too young or immature to be playing them. There has obviously been enough concern regarding the individuals in those schools who have been playing these games for them to decide to send out that letter.

Would you please provide "enough evidence" to show that children watching violent movies or playing violent video games become substantly more violent in their adult life?

I have sent it to you via PM. I'm not going to post it here.
