I think it would be awesome to play as a child/teen, or to be-friend another player (Who is a child.) I think it wouldn't be that "Controversial" to be able to play as a child character, I mean you can choose to play a girl. And people, you got to remember its a CHOICE, just like the choice to play female. (I've seen more horrible things done to woman in this game than males.) And of course there is going to be those sick headed people who will do that kinda f***ed up stuff to children/teen and woman. But their would be those kind of people in-real life, there is people like that living right now as we speak. This game is suppose to be an interpretation/simulation of an actual Zombie Apocalypse. Murder, Rape, and Banditry would happen if there was an actual apocalypse. There is no doubt about it. There is a lot worse things in other games then killing children or pregnant women, take GTA V for an example, you can walk into any strip joint and get lap dances, etc. You can see the strippers tits, ass and everything the good lord gave her. How is that more acceptable then killing a child or a pregnant women? Sex in video games makes much more sense then simple killing... Right? Not in my opinion. I mean if your that upset or have that much of problem that a child got stabbed, shot, stripped, handcuffed, then murdered. Then what are you doing playing this game? This game is rated NC-17 or 18+ (Depends where you live.) Go play a different game if you can't handle it or if your mental ability can't handle it, this is a VIDEO GAME people remember that. The most scary thing is what I'm about to say right now... I find what you do in this game is a "Mirror" or a "Reflection" of what you would do in-real life when those kind of situations are brought to you. So... How are you going to handle it? Or can you even handle it?
