Over half of parents allow their children to play 18+ rated games without supervision or knowledge about the game, according to a recent survey conducted by Childcare.co.uk. Sampling over 2000 parents from across the UK, the survey reveals the stark difference in parental perceptions of games compared to other media. 86% of parents admitted they do not pay attention to age restrictions on games, compared to just 23% who stated they don’t follow similar guidelines for films. Indeed, just eighteen percent of parents said they would let a ten-to-fourteen year-old child watch an 18-rated movie. “What’s interesting is that the majority of parents follow film age ratings, but when it comes to video games they maybe aren’t as strict. It’s important to remember how impressionable children are; if they see behaviour or language in a video game or movie, they may mimic it.” It’s a striking set of statistics, but what the survey doesn’t reveal is why parents are less strict with monitoring gaming age-ratings. Do they simply believe that all games are for children despite the number on the box? Or do they think that any material depicted in a virtual form can’t be as bad as similar content depicted by real actors in a film? Either way, it’s not surprising that gaming violence so frequently causes public hysteria if parents are letting their kids play this stuff. www.pcgamer.com/half-children-18-games/

Parents don't think the same way with games as if they were movies is because they are millennials. They don't understand how games are, and parents don't play games (mostly due how they have to take care of everything else in their parenthood), so they think that they are "just games". Despite this, I don't think it's bad parenting since 18+ games and a child's level of violence have no correlation.

It is because the patents want to steal their children's games - lower 18+ - and start to play until their kids are spitting and shouting at the 18+ trash.

People became so soft nowadays.
Children in Yemen see death every day, because of Saudi Arabia and its supporters, who see no problem in bombing a school bus. In the West, however, playing in video games is a big deal.

Elizabeth said me that you recommend me as an admin here, and I'm very grateful for you about this. Good luck!

So to say that some died because someone played a video game is like saying somebody ate cherios for breakfast because their grandfather's best friend had a dog.

Lone Wanderer did a thread on this before just I don't remember in what section. But basically it was over a video game and an innocent husband and young father died as a result. He wasn't even the one who played the game. Was a mistaken identify case. Anyway he got shot dead because of some stupid video game. Sad

Wait are you saying that violence from videogames are killing people or literally fighting over games are killing people?

There is no connection to video games and violence in children/adults. People have been killed for dumber things. Facebook, Cheetos, Concert tickets, even just the day of the week. I'm not saying that parents who let their children play 18+ games without a second thought are innocent. All I'm saying is, there is no correlation between video games and any kind of violence.

People are killed over ridiculous things. Saying that there is any connection to that thing, and the murder is silly.
