What you say about having tabs and paying attention to your kids might help the parents and the kids with resolving their differences peacefully. This would be much better then what happened in Colorado. I know that its sometime hard for kids to either fit in or talk about there problems with there parents, however the pressure should rely somewhat on the parents and not just the kids. Today is alot harder to grow up and there is alot more that they can get in trouble for and there is alot more violence that is out there for them to be exposed to. This is not putting the pressure to change the movies or games because it will always be out there whether it is legal or illgal; they will most certainly find it. The problem with hidding or banning something for kids is that they will find a thrill even if its something that they don't like to do it because of the danger.
The parents need to get involved in their life because there are many things out there that cause disrution and chaos. Think about how many time that we have seen something shot up or someone killed.. Alot huh. Well think about if we all acted out in rage aginst anyone that did something wrongful to us.. Where would we be..?? This plain fact outlines that there are many good kids that have seen just as much violence but never act out in rage.
The violence is neither about the video games thats b/s and everyone knows it. There are people out there that just want something to blame it on like: he did that because... and the reason is because... and so on and so forth.
Media coverage is outragous. I rarely see a good thing on the news whenever I pick it up and the Media smushes it in all of our faces. They have been known to put false blame on many things surrounding the effects of video games and if they cause violence or not. Many times they jump to conclusion just to make the headline or to get a story printed if they think that it will sell papers.
We need to be responsible for our actions and most are, but there is that small group that is out there that we have to worry about not the general population. However I don't believe that anyone really has the answer because I know that I don't.
I want to give my support to those families that are going through this crisis. I know that there is nothing to really say to comfort so I'll leave it at that.
