If you are going to complain about violent video games, you can't expect the world to change for just for you. If you don't want kids to access violent video games then you have to be pro-active otherwise you have no grounds to complain if your kid plays or watches something you didn't want them to. You want to have your cake and eat it and guess what? You can't.
If you're that concerned about violent video games but not so concerned about who your child might be hanging out with then your priorities seem a bit borked. Your argument works against you, in that regard.
When have I ever mentioned anything about abductions or accidents? I've only ever said that parents shouldn't complain about violent video games if they can't be bothered to even look into something as elementary as parental controls. You have a habit of diving headfirst into the deep end with illogical and bizarre points that don't really relate to the topic when you are on the ropes.

Silly Chewy, expecting parents to do some actual parenting.
this is the comment of yours I was referring to as you well know, and your airy fairy Waltons view on parenting, a few months back you suggested I couldn't have an opinion on working in retail as you thought I hadn't worked in a shop, now tune changed you are an expert in parenting without being one.
See TS post above which you failed to comment on though he essentially just said what I did, but maybe he put in a way you found more palatable?
as for who children are hanging out with, are you suggesting Chewy is some delinquent because he played 18 rated video games at 10? His mother felt he was quite capable and bought him the game, maybe he had a friend who wasn't quite so mature but came round his house, that's how kids get access to stuff their parents aren't that keen on, though I guess yours will live in a bubble.
