Video Game Violence Scrutinized

134 words.

A rare article about kids and video games that actually puts blame where it belongs: Rebecca Hagelin: Video game violence and our sons. (Hint: It’s not on the video game industry.)

Admittedly, you have to read to the end of the article to find her shocking conclusion. In the rest of the text, you’ll get the impression that Hagelin has her targeting system locked firmly on Rockstar Games and the rest of the video game industry as the root of all evil, and government regulation is the only thing standing between us and barbarism. It’s not until the last paragraph that she recovers her sensibilities:

But armed with the truth, and a God-given mandate to train our own children, we must never depend on government to take care of our kids or raise them.
