Leland Yee still urging parents to stay away from games
There is mounting evidence that such ultraviolent video games have negative effects on children, and can cause real behavioral changes…. Eighty-seven percent of children between 8 and 17 years of age play video or computer games and about 60 percent list their favorite games as rated M for Mature, which are games designed for adults. It is vitally important that parents and grandparents consider the content in video games before making holiday purchases. - State Senator Leland Yee
I think Mr. Yee has good intentions, and I don’t think that he hates the industry. With that said, he appears to be very uninformed, and also passionate. Those two can make a very dangerous mix, as they did with Jack Thompson.
