Computer Games Might Be Harmful Photo: Sandy Peters I think that violent computer games might be the cause of this violent behavior in children.     Beatriz Diaz from Colombia I think children should not be allowed to watch violent computer games because they cannot distinguish reality from fantasy. Some examples of violent computer games are Pokemon Terror Trainer and The Invisible Gun. Children watch these programs which lead them to think that violence is normal behavior in daily life and is a solution for most of their problems. This belief has had serious consequences on our society nowadays because there have been many cases of violent homicides commited by children. It is awful what is happening in this decade. I believe violent computer games could be the cause of the violent behavior committed by some children today.
