“Blaming this on videogames is like blaming Columbine on guns.”
The guns were not at fault but the attitudes and ideas about the use of these tools (ie guns) has been promoted by the sickos in hollywood and the game sellers. I doubt that the parents put the ideas in their heads and certainly they are in no position to erase ideas that don’t know exist.
Consider this; your child is in contacts with peers, TV, and video games for a dozen hours a day while parents maybe have 1-2 hours contact at best.

The parents not knowing of the ideas in their child's mind is the parent's fault. Not the gun's, not the gaming industry, and not hollyweird's.

And that is the parent's fault as well. Some parents should put their children's futures ahead of their own.
Believe it or not, there are a growing number of very young kids who have impressed the hell out of me with their, "I don't need to see that kind of stuff," attitude that they get bombarded with. THEIR parents should be commended.
JMHO
