Some child psychologists say prolonged exposure to content that rewards killing and destruction fosters aggressive, anti-social behavior and they have lobbied hard to restrict access. But game makers and civil libertarians say teens are capable of separating reality and fantasy. Ratings boards and regulations, they say, are poor government substitutes for effective parenting and they point to recent studies that even suggest potential benefits to the estimated 70% of American teens who own at least one of these games. Guests Daphne White is the executive director of The Lion & Lamb Project, a national grassroots organization dedicated to stopping the marketing of violence to children.

White is the author of the award-winning Parent Action Kit, which provides parents and other concerned adults with information and tools they need to teach values of nonviolence to children and help them find alternatives to violent toys, games and entertainment. She has twice testified in Congress urging government and industry to find ways to stop the marketing of violence to children. Gerard Jones is the author of "Killing Monsters: Why Children NEED Fantasy, Super Heroes, and Make-Believe Violence," "The Comic Book Heroes" and other articles that have appeared in Harper's and The New York Times. He is a former comic-book and screen writer whose credits include Batman, Spider-Man, and Pokemon, and whose own creations have been turned into video games and cartoon series.
