[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That would be parental failure.[/quote] I do wonder how parents allow them in the home in the first place. It's not like an 8 to 14 year old kid can afford these things and two, should be allowed to buy one if they somehow earned enough money to have one (it's YOUR house). I know credentialed rich parents allow them, too, but it seems these systems are far more prominent in low and middle income homes. Especially single parent homes. It just seems way too dangerous to risk.[/quote] In low income homes living in higher crime areas, video games are one of the better ways to keep your kids out of trouble. Especially if they are home alone while you work etc.[/quote] The students in my Title One school are big into technology and gaming. Their parents don't let them go out much. It isn't a safe area. I can't say I blame them.[/quote]
