Well it depend's on the if i mit say type of kid.

I have played R rated games for the longest time and I havn't been affected by this at all,I guess it depends on the kid and even the parents

well i think they do but the people who want to violent games banned dont take any resposibility when in the end they are the ones buying there kids the games. so i think its the parents fault not the games

nooooooooooooooooooooo

i agree with lumpiaman510 all the way and with Snowman1474 i think they are both right

Sometimes.

Depends on the child and how they have been raised. If they are easily persuaded, it probably will.

The thing that really makes kid's commit crimes are their parent's. They don't care about their child and so they go off and do all of this bad stuff thinking that they can get away with it because their parents let them.

However, games are starting to be a cause of kid's committing crimes too. They think that it's "ok" to hurt people and steal things. They learn the hard way and get what they deserve.

I dont think it does. I play lots of violent games and it helps me let off steam not want to commit crimes. But i supose if you played them since u were like 5 and were never tought that doing those things were wrong then it would encourege u to commit crimes.

if mentally unstable kids play them then yes.
I've had dreams to stela a car but i know it's wrong so I turn away from it

I agree with everyone on this page

Hey,

I don't really know but if the parents each day say 3 times that it isn't good to do things like that , then the child isn't going to do that ...

Children (some) listen more to there parents then listening to a game.

No. If anything, violent video games let kids blow of steam.

It might make them commit a crime, but in all likelihood, it is uncommon. It may happen to some children, but no to a lot. I'd say about 2% probably would commit a crime, and 98% wouldn't.

maybe
