That Dsis partner has today allowed my DD(8) to play Call of Duty?

[Pradaqueen]

Seething at the moment so don't want to call Dsis and discuss as don't want to turn my DD's lovely day whilst I was at work into a row. DD is on Hterm and DD adores her so they have spent the day at Dsis house. Dsis is lovely but does not have any children so probably unsure of boundaries. However, wtf allowing an 8yr old to play an 18 rated game? I am not familiar with C.O.D so wanted opinions from those who have played/have experience of the game. AIBU? Is the game as bad as I fear? Dsis partner nice enough, and I am sure he meant well enough, but wwyd? Any advice gratefully received. Don;t want to go in all guns blazing but next time I want to be very clear about what is acceptable and never in a million years would I expect a grown man to think 18 rated games would ever be suitable for a child of 8. Thanks for reading!

Don't get computer games myself but I probably wouldn't worry that much. Just a mishap from someone who doesn't have kids. Mine still bring up the time one of my friends recommended 'the secretary' as a lovely film with a happy ending. My then 10 year old was a bit :o

Being childless doesn't make you thick does it? Presumably the sister's DP can read the rating on a box?

You wouldn't take a kid to an 18 film so why people think computer games are any different is a mystery to me

I was going to say just that oddford. A couple of DHs mates let their young DS play CoD and GTA. They seem to think it's somehow a bit ''cool'' to turn a blind eye to the ratings.

Makes me and :( tbh. They're prats.

Call of duty isnt even violent apart from campaign

That's irrelevant Xena. If you're looking after someone else's child, you don't play a cert 18 game with them. You just don't.

I wouldn't let it wind you up it is not the worse thing for her to have seen. Also before you accuse find out exactly what went on, she may have had a quick try without other gamers online swearing etc. It probably wouldn't have been for long, I know how attached these men children are to COD :)
