Violent crime is decreasing, has been for years. Media coverage of incidents and tragic mass murders are on the rise... Some experts believe the decrease in juvenile delinquency is due to video games - they have something to do inside where its safe rather than being bored on the streets doing stupid risky things and causing mischief. edit - Sorry not saying kids should be allowed to sit and play video games for hours everyday, getting outside to play is great, but only with proper supervision or environments Is there a minimum age that should be restricted? Yes, and that is for each legal guardian to decide for their own child. Your 2 year sentence is an awful idea and I assume dramatization to get a reaction...Let's put a kid who played violent video games into a facility with other juveniles who dealt/did drugs...they won't come out better.
