"Imagine exposing your child to racial slurs and X-rated content on a daily basis without realizing it. Experts warn that's exactly what could be happening if you let your child play an online video game through Xbox, PlayStation or on the computer."

""Incredible levels of profanity, racial epithets, homosexually-oriented epithets. We're talking 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-year-old kids who are getting exposed to this regularly," said Roberts."

What is there to discuss, exactly? Surely most parents don't believe online gaming is the only place kids will hear that kind of talk.

They are also investigating the possible use of racist quotes in youtube comments. Groundbreaking!

Let me guess, there could be a group that brings this to light and complains about it, to somehow limit X Box Live usage.

Haha i love all the comments, they sum it up perfectly.
Did no one see fit to mention it's usually the 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-year-old kids who are the ones saying this ****

So i've got a few questions.
1.) Where do you think these kids learn it?

2.) Who cares?

I would be very surprised if parents believed that their kids didn't already know such words.

Maybe after these kids grow up hearing said curse words and parroting them. They'll understand that there's nothing offensive about words aside from the occasional one being taboo for no reason.

I remember seeing a similar review somewhere for one of the 'God of War' games. This person had bought it for their 10 year-old daughter.

"Getting exposed"? Aren't the 8-, 9-, 10- and 11-year olds usually the ones leading the foul language chant?

Both things could have been avoided... If they had simply looked at the cover.
