Oh gods, here we go again
'Mrs Pakeerah, 36, called for violent video games to be banned.
She said: "I can't believe that this sort of material is allowed in a society where anarchy is not that far removed. It should not be available and it should not be available to young people." \
You're right, Mrs Pakeerah, it shouldn't. That's *why* it's got an 18 certificate!!
Don't blame the game, blame the parents who let him have it.
And whilst we're at it, did the boy have any *other* problems such as difficulties at home or at school, for instance?
This is just a classic knee-jerk response of "something must be to blame and this game is the easiest target". We've seen it with Dungeons and Dragons, we've seen it with Grand Theft Auto and First Person Shooters, we've seen it with Heavy Metal music and now this is the nearest convenient excuse not to *think* about whether there are other issues that children face
