Poll: Would you allow a child play mature video games?

What do you think?

PARENTS ARE BEING urged to think about the potential effects of children playing video games at adults.

The warning comes as children’s rights groups say that children are calling Childline after being exposed to mature themes.

But some will argue that parents know their children best and are in a position to better gauge their children’s abilities to cope with the material.

We’re asking: Would you allow a child play mature video games?


Poll Results:

No (7289)
