What I mean is when computer games are blamed for influencing children in to doing bad things.

There are plenty of examples of parents reporting in papers how their kids had watched a movie or played a computer game and then gone out and replicated something they'd seen. However I have to ask what are these kids doing with these games DVD's anyway? I read a report just last week about this they were talking about a Jackass dvd, which shown in the photo clearly had an 18 sticker on the front, so how had the child gotten hold of this movie? it didn't say anything about that. Had the parent bought it for them? I'm pretty sure an 11 year old couldn't buy it themselves in the shop, did they get someone else to buy it for them?
If the latter is the case and after watching it they went out and copied something they saw in the movie then clearly there is something wrong in the way this child has been brought up.
People have to stop blaming things for the way children are today, I don't blame the games or the movies, I blame the way children are being brought up, they haven't been taught what is right and wrong correctly, what worries me is that these children are the adults of tomorrow who still wont know the difference between right and wrong. If we keep blaming everything but the way we ourselves are teaching our children then the problem is never going to be sorted.
