[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 209077, member: 3373"] There are a lot of things that affect the development of kids. I'm not convinced there is any one thing that will turn them violent. There is no place for some of the gory games whether is causes later violence or not. Convince me that a child will be deprived if they don't get to play a violent video game. By the same token I am amazed at the number of R rated movies I go to and see several kids in the 6-10 year old range. They are there with their parents but REALLY? Why do parents think that's OK? The only reason I can think of is that parents don't want to pay a babysitter to stay home with their children. Perhaps if you can't afford the sitter, the movie isn't all that important. For me, it's not any one thing, it's a combination over time. Lack of supervision, proper guidance, no family communication, of maybe it's just not enough family dinners. [/QUOTE]
