No, I do not want my kids raised by the government...but I want my kids to be protected.
I can't watch my kids 24 hours a day... 7 days a week.
But even if I could, I can't watch other kids who are going to interact with my kids....
There are some horrible video games out there... and I am not taking about the ones used in the article...
I talking truly cop killing/ sex having games... that kids should not be playing like Sin City... and there is another one that has slipped my mind...
Freedom of Speech is not absolute... and it is definitely not absolute for kids under 14...
There are things kids should not be able to purchase, or watch or listen to... and that is not against the first amendment.
Sounds like you are trying hard to make excuses for horsecrap parenting. Teach your kids right, and you wouldn't have to worry about them falling in with bad crowds. Don't buy them these games if you don't want them playing them. Don't allow them to have a TV or computer in their room.
They are your kids living in your house. Try disciplining them for a change.
