If you've read the article, "Group Cites Growing Video Game Violence," from the Associated Press, then you might have had the same reaction that I had. The article states that nearly half of all kids between 8 and 12 play video games labeled "M" (for players 17 and older.) That is the same as letting your 3rd thru 8th grader go to an R-Rated movie, unattended, because we certainly don't sit there and monitor their reactions to video games.
