I am an avid player of Black Ops WWII, and a lot of times I hear children playing the game. I think parents should be held accountable for allowing young minds to play games that desensitize their minds that are not ready to distinguish the differences of violence and what is the programing of them to violence without consequences.
I think that all states should pass a law or even make it a federal law that prohibits parents from allowing children under the age of 18 to participate in these games. I would support a law that would allow adult users when hearing a child playing these violent games to take down the shooters name and turn it into the appropriate authorities to allow them to enter the home and remove the game console and fine the parents with child neglect. When the parents are gone most of these kids are very confrontational, using adult words and often show signs of hatred, violence and a complete disregard of human emotions and other players.
Parents don't seem to care about their children and how their upbringing is being influenced by these violent games. There are so many games out there that are geared for children and often many help in a positive way to build strong minds for these children,
Parents that allow this should pull their heads out of the sand and care for your children's development. Get them away from games and take them outside, because there are many activities that will help your child become a positive influence in their community.
I think the most basic thing parents can teach their children is respect for their elders, that honor can never be taken from them but it sure can be given away. Teach them to care about others and over look those with disabilities. To have compassion for their fellow man.
Laws can help to enforce better actions of bad parents, but it is really up to the parent.
