There have been some problems with "video game labels". When parents give their children money to go buy a game, they can't control what the children get. ESRB rates the games for a reason. But it is not all the parents' fault. The casheirs have responsibility also. They should look at the rating and if it is inappropriate, tell them they are not allowed unless one of their parents are with them.
But this is just one side of the story.
Some parents are involved... maybe too involved. My next door neighbor brough home Xbox with the game Shrek. A few weeks later, his mom returned the game and the whole Xbox because she didn't like how it was rated. The game was rated "G" for General Audience. But his mom didn't like it because it had Shrek burping at people and kicking! Oh no, kicking, waaaaaaa! And also, Halo and Halo 2 are rated M for mature. In Halo 1, you are just killing little aliens (and sometimes big aliens with these huge clubs). Does that mean space invaders should be rated M? Halo should be rated T for teen. Halo 2 is the same thing but you are killing humans also. If a 10 year old gets hold of this, and plays it a lot, he may want to try killing humans in real life. This sounds stupid, but there were a couple of teenagers who saw Sopranos and then killed someone the way they did on that show(I forgot who). They were teenagers! If they were little kids it would make sense but they should know better.
