My friend has an 8 year old son who is constantly in trouble at school for fighting and acting up.
She has told him that if he can behave himself she will buy him the game he wants the most...Grand Theft Auto 4.

I repeat, he is 8

Your friend is worse than an idiot

not unreasonable if she's told him he'll get it if he behaves for 10 years

that is not being an idiot.

that is being irresponsable, as well as illegal!

"If you stop violent behaviour, I will buy you a gift glorifying violent behaviour". She sounds a bit ridiculous.

Yay more ways for him to be violent....and get all his girls out working.

My SIL lets her 5 year old play this all evening (inc. at table) on a PSP. He is very violent.

And she wonders why he has violence issues?
