GIRL on For Mature Audiences Only

On the GIRL part of Station there’s an article on video games and parental responsibility; “For Mature Audiences Only.” The author rails against studies and preventative measures taken and paid for by the government ie. from our taxes to prevent children from getting into trouble. Children often indulge in mature video games and destructive behaviors that they should have been taught aren’t acceptable, costing us a bundle.

It’s refreshing to see that this particular article points out that it’s the parents’ responsibility to correct these kids, not the government’s.

Parents should pay attention to all the new stuff in the world that they themselves have never experienced, too. They should become familiar with things like ESRB ratings on games; they know what those movie ratings are, right?… They should teach their children, learn with them when they haven’t a clue and let children mature into responsible adults.
