Reread the last line of that article.
"You think you're doing the best you can and supervising everything, but some things still slip through and my son has been playing this for months."
Months!!! She sure was "surpervising everything" wasn't she?
If she doesn't want her kid exposed to Neopets, fine. That's her decision. But she doesn't have the right to make that decision for MY kid or yours.
I suppose every kid who ever played with a toy gun went out and shot up the neighborhood when he grew up? No. And I sincerely doubt that every kid who plays games on Neopets is going to grow up to be a gambling addict either. Sheesh! Her kid is probably going to have more problems being named after a motorcycle than he's going to have being exposed to Neopets!
