Ouders die hun kinderen gewelddadige video games plegen eigenlijk mishandeling

Ook zo moe van die kut squeekers in je oor als je Call of Duty of Grand Theft Auto aan het spelen bent?? Volgens het Engelse Nantwich Education Partnership group is dit gelijk aan het verwaarlozen en mishandeling van kinderen, waarbij dit clubje wilt dat er meer voorlichting komt en deze kut koters geen toegang meer krijgen tot games van een hogere leeftijdscategorie en dat de ouders worden aangeven. Tja...beetje erg overdreven.


The heads reportedly quoted specific titles including "Call of Duty" and "Grand Theft Auto", claiming that such games carry "unsuitable levels of violence". The letter was sent by the Nantwich Education Partnership group to over 16 schools in the Cheshire county warning parents of the dangers associated with playing such games.

Mary Hennessy Jones, the head who wrote the draft for the letter stated:

We are trying to help parents to keep their children as safe as possible in this digital era. It is so easy for children to end up in the wrong place and parents find it helpful to have some very clear guidelines.

The head teachers in the school also claimed that playing computer games originally meant for people over the age of 18, as well as accessing certain social websites unsuitable for minors will also lead to premature sexual behavior and will increase their vulnerability to grooming for sexual exploitation, which will be classified as child neglect.

Earlier this month, UK Prime Minister David Cameron that people in authority will be held responsible and can face prison for up to five years if they do not report on suspected child neglect or abuse.
