UK News: Youths ‘buy violent games online’

UK - Youths ‘buy violent games online’: “(BBC)
Children are able to illegally buy violent video games through online auction websites, the UK’s Trading Standards Institute has said.

Traders supplying games to an under-age person in breach of official classifications can face a fine or up to six months in jail.”
