Toys 'R' Us clerk alerted me about video game contents
Toys 'R' Us clerk alerted me about video game contents
Date published: 11/11/2004
I would like to take this opportunity to thank one of the sales clerks at our local Toys "R" Us and to alert other parents about the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas." My son had been asking for it for weeks. A quick Internet search turned up nothing unusual. (I would later learn that this game was banned in Australia.) The clerk, noticing my son, told me that one of the missions in the game was to rape a woman, and that I might want to consider another title. While I grant my son considerable latitude in his choices of music and games, it made me sick that I nearly bought this for him. This letter goes out to other unsuspecting parents, not to discourage them from purchasing the game, but to help them make an informed decision. Sales clerks like the fine gentleman at Toys "R" Us can do much to help us parents make the right choices. Timothy R. Jenkins Fredericksburg
