Half of Young Gamers Say Parents Aren't Involved Enough

"Unfortunately, only 60 percent of adults said they fully understood the current rating system."

I think it is too optimistic estimation. They said that they understood - but how many of us really know what their kids play? Although I pay sometimes with my 8 year old son online games like club penguin or driving kids, I don't understand criteria of rating system and trust more my own opinion about games.
