The other day, our 8 year old son Joey visited his neighbour's house after school for a seemingly harmless 'play'.

Later on in the evening, he awoke from a terrible nightmare, where he said that monsters were jumping out from everywhere to try and 'get' him.

When further questioned, he said that during that afternoon, he had watched his neighbour Harrison (also 8) playing a scary and violent video game. He also said that he saw on the cover of the video game that it was meant to only be played by children older than 15.

Now if 8 year old boys are playing games that are supposed to be being played only by over 15 year olds, it stands to reason that R18+ games would make their way into the hands of much younger children.

I hope the pollies see sense and don't make any changes to the current legislation!
