Why little kids shouldn't play 18+ games.

General
So I was playing Grand Theft Auto 5 online and I was hanging out with my online friend. Now I hate it when kids below 13 or whatever play games like this for two reasons.
1. This is a part of their life where they could be easily influenced (unless they matured already)
2. They act like immature and obnoxious assholes which ruin a good experience with the game (especially the loud ones with microphones).
This friend is one of those kids but he's funny to hang out with so that's why I'm friends with.
So you're able to hang out in your character's apartment and I thought it would be funny if we invited a stripper over fro a lapdance (yes, you can do that). We both thought it was funny and I wanted to see if he's the type of kid who would immediately turn away if bad stuff like this appears, but no. He repeatedly said though his mic that the stripper was hot and he let her dance over him. I then heard some yelling in the background. I then realised that it was his mom noticing the stripper and I sat there embarrassed for him and a little guilty considering I brought the stripper there in the first place. He then disconnected right after.
Oops! Its mainly my fault he got in trouble there, but to be honest, he shouldn't be playing those sort of games in the first place!!

Oh but how is a parent supposed to know there is violence, sex and drugs? Well read the package. The clerk is also supposed to warn the parent if they are buying for their child what sort of game it is. So the fault goes totally on the parents.
But I think if I were the parent in the situation, I would be less concerned with the game itself and more of who my child is talking to online O.o especially given the content of the game.
