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.

I think Halo is rated M in the US (it's 15+ over here) and my siblings and I were all playing that before the age of 8.
