I'm afraid to inform you that I have much more intimate knowledge on that subject than you can possibly imagine, and video games did not have detrimental effects from my observations.

Given that, not all people are identical, of course, and neither do people all react the same way to the same stimuli.

Once again, the realistic depictions of violence in movies are much more of a likely culprit than video games, wouldn't you think?

I think both have an affect. However, movies are not as much of an addiction for kids as video games.

I am not blaming video games, just like I dont blame guns. It is definitely “the person”

I am just telling you that I have one son who currently is facing “assault” charges and is at this time in a mental health hospital.

The trigger for him was getting upset after being told he could not play his video games which he was becoming addicted to. Didnt want to do anything else. I had 7 police cars, ambulance, etc. at the house for the incident.

The average person may not react this way, but my 2 adopted kids both have mental health issues and they are affected in a much different way to video stimulus.
