A letter sent from Nantwich Education Partnership, an organization of primary and secondary schools in Cheshire, England, says that if parents allow their children “inappropriate access to any game or associated product that is rated 18+,” the school system will contact Police and Children’s Social Care. Though the letter names games like Call of Duty, GTA and Dogs of War, it is found that minors often have access to most gory and vile video titles available. The school hopes to stop this free access to children by making parents bit more attentive to what their children play on their tablets, X-box, PSN or PC. The Guardian reports that the school principal that drafted the letter, Mary Hennessy Jones, says the initiative is about keeping children safe, and giving guidelines to parents. Many online users have approved the schools tactics to pressurise parents to vigilant about their children but critics argue that coercing parents is not helpful.
