The fault lies solely with the parents and the TOOLS they choose to use for raising their children. Parents have the ability to explain different games to children and what something may mean, same as in a PG or above movie. Parental Guidence suggested. Parents also have the ability to not let their child play a game or watch a movie if they think that it will promote violence within their children. A game or gamer doesn't have that ability nor responsibility to do so. So for that reason alone I believe the hypocracy and rational reason gamers have is justified in saying parents are responsible. Justified hypocracy.

Where was it said the parents had anything to do with this case? Where has it been documented that parents sat idly by while their kids played all the games they wanted, then went out on a killing spree? Children make their own choices, and to decree that every choice they make is based on what their parents think is utterly wrong in every sense. There's the media, school, the internet, their friends, books - these and everything else in the world influence choices people make. Parents are an influence, they are not
the influence.
