Lol true.
If the kid didn't know what meth is, well he does now, so maybe you should take some responsibility for introducing it to him and not kicking him for his own good?
As a father and an adult maybe YOU should be considering your own actions here and further more coming here and whining about it just compounds YOUR error of judgment.

Hmmm....troll thread or is this guy not with it?
However judging from your post, you must be quite a young dad. Its best not to go off like this in a forum imo. Try to keep emotions in check :)

Addictive and toxic.
See this is a thing i don't really understand:
Shooting virtual cops in a game where everything tells you "It's a game, it's not real, it's fiction" is supposedly bad for children.
But having those children run around in a forest playing Cops & Robbers - usually with toy guns that can look quite real and are used just like the real thing (unlike a computer mouse) - pretending to shoot and kill each other in a real fashion is supposedly perfectly fine. Why?
Also think back to what games you all played at that age. Back in the 90's everybody wanted to play Doom or Duke Nukem or Silent Hill or Resident Evil. Nobody was interested in puzzle games or Super Mario, it was always about those "forbidden violent games that are so adult".
The only thing to blame is bad parenting if things get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. A normal raised child that get teached about murder being bad and has been teached to differentiate between reality and games shouldn't have no problem playing something like Payday 2.
The problem with children in games is more about their behaviour, not quite "getting" the game but then again, i've been playing a couple rounds of Payday 1 and 2 with a teen who just turned 13 and he's a really good player who doesn't go for kills but is a real team player and also he doesn't strike me as somebody who confuses Payday with reality and will rob a bank next week
If kid use a mic I'm going for instakick, same goes for griefers who don't listen.
You hit the nail on the head mate imo on both counts. Firstly playing cops & robbers outdoors is completely different to 'in a virtual world'. Due to the way its presented and its nature, folks become desensitized to what is being portrayed. (COD, BF, CS etc etc). If exposed to it at a young age it becomes difficult to differentiate subconciously, even if all seems well on the surface.
Secondly 'parenting' is to blame even if things are not f****** up yet. When it gets to that stage thats not bad parenting. Its a failure. You point out the importance of being 'taught' to differentiate and about aspects such as murder and killing. Nowadays due to the social dynamics and structures, as well as teh state of the society, it is not a simple matter. As a result many parents' either struggle to do what you described or 'leave it to their son/daughter with 'obvious' common sense to understand. The standards of what is acceptable and what is not (As well as the attitudes attached) have changed too.
As a young lad, I never played games such as the ones you described, until i was older and supposedly mature enough to understand that they were just games. Looking back id still question if I truly was back then.
You can compare it to the crises thats facing the new generations nowadays mate, which is being made visible, more and more lately via the media. Young people very often lack basic skills such as good communication, confidence, team work, face to face interaction...the list goes on. And that is just what the employers are complaining about and some education establishments. i.e tip of the iceberg. Its all thanks to the changes in the way folk are being brough up nowadays, as well as social media, internet and other influences & pressures. DOnt get me wrong there are many positive changes, however its important to 'adapt' accordingly and differentiate between whats a positive and what is not. That will always remaina challenge in this globalized & dynamic world imo.
My 2 pence worth.
