Police said robbery was the motive behind the attack on Stefan in Stokes Wood Park on 26 February 2004 - and not the video game blamed by Stefan's parents.

i do think its unfair not to allow the people the right to choose for themselves whether to play a video game or not. I can understand why certain bans are in place. the ban of firearms, lethal drugs and so forth. but a video game seems slightly over the top. perhaps they ought to try refinforcing the law of age guides for games.
i mean here they are getting more and more strict on the age to drink alcohol which is currently 18 and has been for a long time. HOWEVER we have a thing called "think 21" althought it is legal to buy and drink alcohol at 18, if you look 21 or under your likely to be asked for ID anyway.
we have age guides on games, 18, 12, 15 whatever. why not enforce similar rules for these things? i dont remember being asked for id for a 21 film i bought when i was 15, or a 18 rated game when i was 16.
