Parents with children heed my advice, don't buy your child a mic. Everytime I go online there are children as young as 7 who swear. Kids tend to swear online or insult other players because they think it's "cool". I try my best not to say anything because I'll just make it worst. Let me list a couple things so you can make sure your child is safe or if you are a victim of a swearing child,
For Parents
- If you buy your child a mic, make sure to either Monitor him or her, or place a recording device in their room to make sure they don't swear.
- Don't buy your child an M-rated game, they'll tend to learn swear words from the game then you.
- If you catch a swearing child on Xbox Live or PSN, take action! Don't let them continue insulting other players, threaten them by calling Xbox Support if you are an Xbox player, I don't know about PlayStation.
- Get their parents on the mic so you can tell them that their child is swearing, get creative to do this, but beware of the ''Microsoft Employee" prank, you can get banned for this, but only if you get caught.
- Mute them
Till Next Time!!

Interesting post. My little 12 year old brother has been using a mic on PlayStation for years. We had the whole 'don't give out your details to strangers, don't swear talk'. In our household, he's not sheltered from the MA15+ stuff inc. games and movies. We do however make sure people he talks to in-game is voiced over to the TV, so we can monitor it, and if he gets all rage, then we tell him to turn off the game and go do something else. He especially hates when his big sister (me) tells him off haha! But I agree with your post, little children these days are CRAZEH!
It's good to know that you monitor him, wish I good say the same to other people.
