the fact that most minors can and do get their hands on these mature rated or adult rated (let's just say age inappropriately rated) games & Movies, is because the parents have given up the fight.
Either it is lazy parenting, or lack of vigilance or understanding of what is occuring in their own homes. I bet these kids even have game systems, computers and of course TVs in their bedrooms! And further, if they are doing homework (big if!) I bet it is in these very same rooms, with messenger running at the same time. One of the reasons that it can take several hours to do a small amount of homework...
I have found that a lot of parents are intimidated by the technology, and the kids know how to take advantage of the situation.
