<p>Violence in video games, etc has been proven not to increase aggressiveness in most people. With that said, it might plant the idea in their heads where it otherwise might not have been. </p>
<p>IMO, the issue is with the fact that these are babysitters rather than just entertainment. Many people simply don’t want to parent anymore. </p>
<p>Class, that’s a good thought. I have kids that come into the DV shelter where I work all the time that have severe, violent outbursts. We currently have a three year old who pees on his mother or sister to get what he wants. Where would a kid learn that? Dad. Where does a kid learn how to get a gun? How to hold people ransom? Etc. That’s not video games.</p>
