Seeing as primary school stretches from 3 to 11, I think in some cases yes they should, 6 year olds should not be playing COD etc online, Whilst the game itself might not be too bad, its the online aspect and the people they are playing with that would concern me, if the are in a game with much older children or adults who are swearing and generally being loutish It is not appropriate.

Not at all - just sensible. Some kids can play adult games and remain unscathed but not all. It is wiser - in my opinion - to err on the side of caution.

What is this 'modern' obsession with rushing kids into being adults before they've even enjoyed a childhood? Bleaching hair, make up, piercings, jewellery - some even having their three year old's tattooed.

Yes, parents should have input, but, I'm afraid, that immature kids are increasingly becoming parents these days and immature kids are not always the best judge of what is best for themselves - let alone their kids.

I completely missed the 'primary' part and assume seniors

10/11 ish I think is generally old enough to play these games I think. They don't deserve their 18 rating (then again nothing does really)
