My step brother is 8 and his mother who i have no contact with keeps purchasing rated M games for him, I think im doing something right when i say to his father not to let him play some of those games because some of them are kinda inappropriate for someone his age but then i think myself as a hypocrite because i started playing M games maybe not as young as he did but younger then the 17+ stamp suggests (13 was when i started). The games in question that his mother purchased are GTAIV, and Dead Island. I just don't think that he should be playing these games but i came here to get some feedback from more gamers to tell me whether or not im doing the right thing.

It won't be bad for him if you and the parents guide him through what he learns from those games.. Like him no reality doesn't work like that. Be nice and firm, but don't be an ass when informing him. My opinion is.. if you shelter a kid too much, they just end up brattier. I've seen it done to my cousins.. 1 is in the 7th grade and it drives me nuts that he still acts like a 3rd grader.
