But video games have been known to increase aggression in adolescents. OK, so the kid was a little unstable to begin with but think about it. A naive teenager would easily think that murder is OK because America is distributing all over the planet! I hope you all get the idea I'm trying to convey. You're argument would probably consist of a compare & contrast of reality & video games, which should be taught to children. Perhaps all the blame rests on the parent though. For her negligence as a mother. Who bought the game consoles? Who brought home the games? I have a few questions before I can nail this lady to the cross. Although, I can't see how a mother could even put her son in that category. To say he's one of those kids who can't tell the difference between a video game & reality. She probably had thoughts like, "If he keeps playing those games he might kill someone." Then again, you can always look at it from a lawyer's perspective. Someone is always controlling what you hear and see on television.
