[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 207010, member: 1161"] I don't know about there, but here you can't even buy M games until you are 18. Some stores here even ask for ID. I think if legally they can't buy it for themselves, then it's up to the parent to decide if their child is ready/mature enough to play M rated games. And you know your difficult child better than a PO who sees him once in a while for a limited amount of time. My difficult child was over 13 when I let him get his first M game, and I still remember he walked up with it and said can I have this one, and I looked it over and decided it wasn't too bad and said ok and he still said but it's an M game. LOL I took that as an indication he would be ok with M rated games, since he questioned me allowing it himself. And a cell - I don't think kids really need them until they're 16, it's what I told difficult child anyway. :raspberry-tounge: If they have reasons to need one - going somewhere there's no other way to contact home in an emergency or some such - maybe. But for general they don't. They're in school all day, and can use the house phone when they get home. Your home, your rules. I think that PO is out of line, commenting on things that are out of her purview. Unless the judge ordered him to be allowed these things, there's no need for her to even bring them up. Hope you write the letter as was suggested, and maybe get a PO who realizes they're not family therapists. [/QUOTE]
