Blaming games is a scapegoat and by doing it people are ignoring the real issues at hand. |

There is obviously an established pattern emerging, if this is how the school wish to tackle the issue if some parents refuse to acknowledge the seriousness of the problem manifesting then as guardians too they have that right.

'Oh it's not their fault they killed someone, the game made them do it' **** that **** and **** anyone who believes it. the killers are to blame for Jamie Bulger's death, nothing else. Blaming games is just an excuse for parents not to do any actual parenting. |

The games are a side issue it will focus the attention on the parents and what is going on at home which again I think is a good thing. If as you say most kids can separate fact from fiction that is great but for the small minority who can't and who display inappropriate behaviour and whose parents do not want to take responsibility for their upbringing I see no issue. |
Oh well let's ignore any psychological analysis and criminal profiling.
This could be part...a big one, I agree cherie with the Bulger case of a 'perfect storm' of violence. |

"'Primary school headteachers have warned parents who allow their children to play video games such as Call Of Duty and Grand Theft Auto will be reported to police and social services for neglect." All parents will be reported for neglect, regardless of any other factors. Lumping good parents in with bad, instead of focusing on those who need intervention. |

If you allow your child to play the game then by definition that is against their policy in the eyes of the school. |
Police Threat Over Children Playing Adult Games
A letter sent to parents in Nantwich warns letting children play adult games could be "neglect" and could see them reported. http://news.sky.com/story/1454885/po...ng-adult-games same story as Kizzys first link post |

What's next, are they going to insist on dictating what the pupils have for meals at home? What activities they get up to on Holidays and weekends? Should they just insist on moving a teacher into every household to take over parenting duties? Let parents be ****ing parents. It's micromanaging when they have no business doing so. The Schools should only intervene if there's something seriously wrong, not just because they don't like that kids play video games. |
I hope these schools get done for wasting the police's time if they actually ever go through with this. It's honestly ridiculous and I don't understand why anyone would defend this.
