110 Protecting Children From Unacceptable ContentProtect your child from the media, Internet, and TV programs that are NOT suitable for children to watch.

111 8-year-old shoots elderly caregiver after playing video game An eight-year-old boy killed his grandmother last weekend after playing the violent video game Grand Theft Auto IV. Marie Smothers, 87, was shot in the back of the head as she watched television in her mobile home. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities believe the shooting was intentional. Police say that prior to the shooting, Smothers and her grandson "had a normal, loving relationship." Grand Theft Auto IV is rated "M" for mature audiences and is recommended for ages 17 and above. A child psychologist said access to such a violent game could encourage aggressive behavior: "When you have a video game that is shooting at a human being, that is practicing shooting at a human being." A similar connection has been suggested with the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting last December. The shooter, Adam Lanza, was reportedly obsessed with violent video games such as Call of Duty. According to Common Sense Media, 90 percent of movies, 68 percent of video games, and 60 percent of TV shows present some depiction of violence. Kids 8 and under watch an average of one hour and 40 minutes of TV or DVDs a day, while older kids watch an average of four hours daily. Most kids start playing video games around age four. One expert warns that "prolonged exposure to violence in media is a risk factor. And it's kids who have multiple risk factors who are likeliest to behave aggressively.“ Jim Denison, August 27, 2013

112 Protecting Children From Unacceptable ContentChildren are more likely to be online than adults. Personal computers are no longer the only method use for accessing Internet… There are NO censors on the Net…it’s up to the parent to make sure their children are safe and looking at appropriate material.
