“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,” said Yee. “It is vitally important that parents and grandparents consider the content in video games before making holiday purchases.

Yee has been one of the main Senators pushing for some action against M rated games.  Most of the time I don’t agree with what Sen. Yee says. In fact I think he doesn’t always have is facts in order.    Now on his stand to tell parents to stay away from buying M rated game this Holiday season, I 100% agree with him. This holiday season if company’s like; Target, Gamestop, Wal-mart, etc, do there part and not sell to minors. If parents do there part and not buy the games for the underage children.  I think this will be one step towards solving the issue that Sen Yee and all the other “political” figures have.
