They should be threatening unspecified legal action towards parents who cannot raise their children properly, to let them realize that video games are nothing but a source of entertainment. Keeping a watch over children, as an adult, and as a parent is important, and proper action is required when children show sings of irrational behavior. Simply, these days, most parents seize to even try understanding what the video game world is about, and how different today’s entertainment is, compared to how it was many years ago. The ESRB exists for a reason, and I believe that there should be some kind of an education system for parents to take control of the types of games their children play. This could be possible if it was done in their children’s school, and if local gatherings were held in their towns. Somebody needs to do something everywhere, always.
