Meanwhile, suicide and depression rises for children in the UK [1]. I would really rather the NHS prioritize the massive mental health crisis (affecting children and adults) instead of bad parenting.
There are ratings on the games for a reason. Also, there are already laws regarding children and gambling, they simply have to enforce them.

- theonlyklas 7y agoMaybe bad parenting results in a massive (mental) health crisis?
- bArray 7y agoMaybe, but the solution for stopping young children getting addicted to gaming is simple - stop giving kids gambling games, monitor any online play and teach them to play games for healthy amounts of time. I personally can't point to a single thing a parent can do in order to greatly reduce the mental health crisis and I'm not sure it's yet well understood. What is clear though is that behaviours that lead to suicide (e.g. depression) are spot-able and treatable to some extent.
