Would you let your child play violent video games?

I dont see anything wrong with most of them there are a few games that I will NOT let my kids plat like GTA I think that if parents are involved with their kids and communicate with them about what they are watching then there shouldnt be any problems

What do you mean by violent? Most games have some sort of level of violence in, even some of the Disney games have you hitting things, other characters etc. Does this make a child turn aggressive or releaves some of the aggression already in them? My son is 14 and has some war games which means blowing up items etc. but if you was in the army thats what you do? Doesn't mean hes going to go out and do this to someone in society. I know there has been some cases that have happened in society that maybe is linked to violent games but when you look into the cases you discover the child/adult hasn't had a good unbringing and its more the parental life thats needs questioning. Also i feel its better to allow some experience of these games with you explaining that its just a game etc. than them going round a friends and doing it behind your back, without any explaintion.

I have let my daughter play those types of games before but really did not want her to play them. My husband plays them and he said it would be okay for her to play them also. I hated it but she is grown now thank God.

no i wont.. if it is violent it means thet video game is not suitable for childre.. there is not argument about that.. it is our responsiblity to protect children and we ahould be carefull on things that they use and deal with in daily life.. vilont video games will corrupt children's mind that they will tend to immitate the behaviour in the video game in their life which will be too dangerous even to think about..

OF course not ,everyone know in the violent vidoe game ,there is some content is suck ,so if asking the children play them ,so I think they 'll learn the content from them ,so that it's not good for them grew up .so I think maybe I could ask them pplay some video game ,not violent vidoe game

A kid won't become a violent person just for playing a game. In a game he can be violent and rude, but he knows that he can't be like that in real life because that is just wrong. When I have a son I'll teach him to love and respect every living criature and I won't forbid any kind of game or movie as long as it is appropiate for his age.

I think the violence in video games is certainly over rated as it will generally not produce antisocial individuals. However it is believed that there is a certain desensitization process that goes on when really violent video games are played. I do not know how true this is but I certainly would not want to take the chance especially with smaller children. Yes I certainly would allow them to play kid friendly games as there is lots of time when there are adults to play the violent ones if they so choose and hopefully by that time they will be less influenced by them and might even be less inclined to play them. I am sure lots of children and teenagers play certain games because of peer pressure. Generally children do not get enough exercise anyway so I would certainly be limiting the time they play as well as the kind of video games that they have.

I wouldnt let my kids play violent games I had any. Well it depends on their age. I would check the game ratings first before buying. People normally complain that games are too violent for kids but that it because they just buy the games without checking the ratings. I do not find the difference between letting kids watch violent movies or play violent games. Most parents would let their kids watch violent movies but not play violent games.
