In Detroit, Michigan, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy released a list of the top 10 most violent video games, warning parents not to buy them for their children this holiday season.
According to Worthy, Grand Theft Auto, which topped the list this year, “absolutely glorifies” carjacking and encourages shooting, running over pedestrians, and many more violent acts.
“Please do not buy these video games and bring them into your home,” Worthy said. “It desensitizes (children) to violent acts.”
Now in her third year of releasing the list, Worthy said that there are many more violent games out there and it is necessary to bring all of them to the public’s attention.
“It’s no wonder we’re seeing the crimes we’re seeing lately,” she said.
