If children are behaving inappropriately in school then school have a right to employ safeguarding, no one want their child exposed to inappropriate behaviour f

There are child safety options on most consoles both current and last generation. It's up to the parents to set them and oversee what their child is playing.

Yes but some are not using it so maybe they need educating

That's their own responsibility, not the schools'.

Sadly not all parents make great judgement calls.

How about we let parents parent their own children?

I played and watched violent video games and films from a young age and so did most people I know and it's never affected us because we can separate fiction from reality. Game aren't harmful, people just use them as a scapegoat for their own agendas.

It's not illegal for someone under 18 to play 18 rated games, it's only illegal for kids to buy them. Whether kids should be allowed to play them or not should be solely down to their parents not some stupid backwards schools that don't know their elbow from their arse.

Yes so Parents that buy them
are Fecking Guilty.

And Never mind about when you was a child
GTA5 in 1080P on a Massive 1080P TV Screen
is a world away from your history.

I agree with all that Dezzy. Sadly the parents who make good judgement calls are lumped into the same pigeon hole as those parents who don't in cases like this.

arista · 29-03-2015, 02:47 PM

Should primary schools report families for allowing kids 18 games?

Yes report them
they are 18 rated games GTA5
can change a child who spends 6 hours on it

What is worrying is they are using words like "could"

Parents were also warned about allowing their youngsters to have accounts on social media sites such as Facebook and WhatsApp because it could make them vulnerable to sexual grooming.

The letter went on: "Access to these games or to some social media sites such as those above increases early sexualised behaviours (sometimes harmful) in children and leaves them vulnerable to grooming for sexual exploitation or extreme violence."

I would be interested in any evidence they are basing this on

Arista, do you have children? If not, then you really don't know wtf you are talking about. Kids are all different, in terms of maturity, and you can't bang an age rating on it and do a one-size-fits-all.

That's not very fair hardly anyone commenting has kids.
