I’M writing in response to the recent incident involving the Roblox rage between two brothers in Batu Pahat, Johor (“Roblox rage blamed for slashing”, The Star, Oct 30; online at bit.ly/ 4oWJTSM). The incident struck close to home as I am also raising children around their age (nine and six).
As a parent, I believe that the cons far outweigh the pros when children play online games. Children at this age have little self-control when it comes to online gaming as it tends to be addictive. They cannot foresee the consequences of their actions, and that is why parental supervision is vital.
