Boys have always been violent. But in the old days it was channelled through sport, games and the military. It operated within a legal framework and was about the protection of family and home. Grand Theft Auto teaches boys to break the law and redirect their violence towards the socially destructive, the selfish and the sociopathic and to treat women as prostitutes to be used, abused and killed. When the latest version was released last year, the MP Keith Vaz said: 'It's highly likely that younger children are going to get access to this game. A young person's mind is impressionable and the interactive violence is going to have an impact on them.' We really have no idea of the long-term effects of this game. On New Year's Day, at 12 noon, we are holding a GTA Mass Destruction Day. All over Britain, Women of Mass Destruction will join us in destroying and dumping these discs. It will be supported by members of Take a Break's two social networks, chums4mums and Mums' Army. Petition: We the undersigned petition to either ban or censor video games which glamourise extremely criminal, socially damaging and sociopathic behaviour and treat women as prostitutes to be used, abused and killed.
