This is irresponsible parenting if the child doesn't understand what is reality and how it connects to the "life" in the video game.

That game has an age rating, and responsible parents should be able to tell at what age their child can seperate reality from the "life" in the video game.

Grand Theft Auto allows many options of playability, not all of which entail being a "gangster", "hoodlum" or "outlaw". The underlying message is how hard drugs, when absued can destroy people, famillies and culture. The good message is that as individuals we all have a choice to live by that code, or not, and can choose to be better than "the average".
