UK Parents Ignore Videogame Ratings
The BBC News reports on a study in the UK that found parents ignored videogame ratings when purchasing games for their children (Parents 'Ignore Game Age Ratings').
A study commissioned by the UK games industry found that parents let children play games for adults, even though they knew they were 18-rated.
Although the study was in the UK, I imagine similar results would be found in the US. Of course, this will just encourage our public nannies to cry out for legislation so that parents don't have to, you know, actually
parent. Parents in the UK seem more concerned with the amount of game play, rather than the type of game. I'm not sure that is a wrong attitude.
