Mature Audiences

In addition to not being able to get a driver's license, vote, get married, get a tattoo and numerous other actions, juveniles are also not permitted to purchase video games that have been rated M.
The Entertainment Software Ratings Boards (ESRB) states that "...m-rated games can not be purchased by anyone under the age of 17 unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The Supreme Court is currently hearing a case on whether or not juvenile offenders should receive life without the possibility of parole for offenses other than murder.
Juvenile offenders being sent away for the rest of their lives is not a game. One can only hope the Supreme Court will see this and take a page from the ESRB.
Life without the possibility of parole should be rated M for Mature Audiences.
