Is Call Of Duty A Suitable First Person Shooter (FPS) For Kids?

If you haven't played Call of Duty, it's a game where you kill people/computer animations and get points and xp towards ranking up and unlocking new guns, camos and perks. You get three perks and these allow you to do cool things, like sprint faster, survive explosions, and drop a grenade on death.

So what aspects of CoD are unsuitable for young people? Well, World at War features a mode called Zombies in which you blow waves of zombies to bits and see bucket loads of blood flying everywhere. Also, they drop f-bombs quite frequently. Therefore, keep your children away from everything made by Treyarch because they do not have young people in mind when they are making their entertainment. Infinity Ward is a bit better, but I would still recommend staying away from Modern Warfare 2 because it isn't a Kids first person shooter as the final kill cam shows spurts of blood in slow-motion. Children playing first person shooters is something you see commonly nowadays and it's good to see because as long as they aren't playing for the killing aspect, Call of Duty is an amazingly awesome, fun shooter for young people, and it can in fact help educate them on the brutality of war and teach them about different types of guns.

With parenthood comes the responsibility to look after your kid, but being over protective can be just as harmful as being careless with your children. Shooting people sounds like something your little ones shouldn't be doing, but if parents take a look the website above, they will find it somewhat suitable. Call of Duty 4 is the most age appropriate one from the series and it comes with an option to turn blood and language off. You really don't want your babies seeing excess blood and guts!

When you think about it, CoD is very tame as far as first person shooters go, for Gears of War, Halo, Crysis and Battlefield are all one hundred times worse. In fact, no one in their right mind should play games like Gears of War because it will scar their minds for a long time - you actually cut people in half with chainsaws! Anyway, I think that Gears of War isn't even fun anyway, whereas Call of Duty is fun and relatively tame, making it the perfect FPS for children. Enjoy playing titles from this series before they are replaced by more gruesome games.

I help parents decide whether a game is suitable before they allow their children to play it!

What Kind of a Person Is a Child Molester?

While it is easy to be horrified by what one man is being accused of when you see headlines in the newspaper about a public figure, school teacher, or even your neighbor, being taken to jail, you can be certain he is not the only man who has been singled out, and accused of being identified as being a child molester.

Incidents of child molesting continue to be front page news. When it occurs in a major company, a public figure, a well thought of sports figure, or a member of your neighborhood, most people get all exercised and demand something be done.

For far too long, the whole focus on preventing child molestation was all about "stranger danger." Most girls, especially were warned at a very young age to be afraid of strangers. Don't let them get you. Most of people of a certain age have been told the same thing.

The problem is: child molestation is not about strangers but the people we know: family members, members of our social circle, people in our churches, local professionals and acquaintances in our neighborhood.

It is estimated that 1 in 20 teenage boys and adult men are sexual molesters. One teenage girl or adult women in 3,500 females are sexual molesters.

Looking at the bigger picture, 1 out of every 15 Americans is either a molester or has been molested.

Pretty scary statistics, that are well documented in Abel and Harlow's 1999 study of child molesters and their victims.

You can help prevent child molestation by knowing the facts about who molesters are and how and why they prey on children.

Some molesters, a few, are opportunists. They believe the rules that apply to everyone don't apply to them. They molest children because they feel like it, because they can, with little or no feelings for the harm they may be causing the children.

Others may have a medical or psychological problems that need treatment. When this is the case, part of the treatment means staying away from children.

However, most of the sexual abuse acts against children are perpetrated by men with pedophilia.

Pedophilia is a sexual drive disorder where the man is sexually attracted to children. It is a well known problem within the psychological/psychiatric professions. The features of this disorder are thoroughly described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the standard for the psychological and psychiatric professions.

The primary factors in identifying pedophilia include:

sexual arousal, fantasies and sexual behavior with prepubescent childrenbeing involved with or aroused by a child for more than six monthsbe at least 16 years old, and at least 5 years older than the child or children h is attracted to.

While this is horrifying information for most parents, only by knowing the facts and being prepared can you help the children you know stay safe.
