Generally, you'd assume that parents like to look out for their children — you know, try to keep them away from sources of bad influence. Now, ratings do tend to go overboard with what kinds of things kids need to be "protected" from, but even we admit that the mind of an 11-year-old is very easily influenced. That's why, usually, you don't let 11-year-olds play things like GTA.
Another reason you might not want your 11-year-old playing GTA is because they might nick the family car while you're sleeping and get into a high-speed chase with the police on the highway. In traffic. Before you think that that's just an exaggerated hypothetical, it actually happened in Ontario yesterday evening.
The boy, who was not identified, admitted to being inspired by his night-time gaming session where he played GTA 5, we're guessing unsupervised. The parents were asleep at the time, which is how he presumably managed to take off in the car unnoticed.
