My little cousin, Andrew, is a 10 years old boy and a Call of Duty activist. Call of Duty is a very violent video game which is intended to be played by kids that are 16 years old and over. The game simulates World War II warfare where the player can choose from a variety of time-appropriate weapons and essentially goes on…
