Letting them play the games shouldn't be a problem as long as the kid knows the difference
between a video game & real life.
I've had my dealings w/ social workers, child protective services, etc, they're more of a problem
than a fix. I know one case personally of a 16 year old that is completely out of control & will
probably get himself thrown in prison by the time he's 19. Under sharia law he would have lost
both hands by now but the last bit from social workers is his parents can't ground him, he might
feel sad about it, meanwhile he steals anything not nailed down & can't respect other people,
their space, stuff, etc. The second he's not happy he whines to some idiot at his school & CPS
is at the door, "you can't do this, you can't do that, poor baby it's everybody else's fault.....
These people should at least have children before being put in the position they're in.
On the note of parents, check out the opening of the movie "Idiocracy", it explains alot.
