If you're gonna play a parent-less 12 year old, we need child protective services

I could go on. These are all situations I've encountered on this server.

The minimum age should be 18, I do not care if you are in a gang, I am too and my character is not a minor.

We have an issue across all emergency services of unattended children characters, 12-16 who are hurt, wounded, shot, killed, with no parents, and who come up with stories such as "both my parents are junkies" or unattentative. You'd all get thrown into foster care.

 

Yeah yeah gang characters. Guess what, parent's would still be there, at the very least NPC them. Stop playing orphans, or if you do, there should be a way you get sent off to a foster home in rural minnesota.

Majority of that type of Roleplay was done and it was in-active af on another community.

This is a very gray area especially when you're dealing with troublesome 12-16 year olds. I hope something gets done about this so LEO's and others can actually resort to CPS when kids claim they have no parents etc.

Better yet, get rid of this lousy child roleplay shit. It's embarrassingly poorly done at best and highly suspect at worst.

Yeah, honestly, I'd feel much more comfortable if I anything under 16 was just in the backstory and not RPed. It's weird as hell that we have rules on offensive and graphic RP unless you're going to use it portray the systematic mental and physical abuse of children at the hands of their peers, society at large and older criminal elements.

Don't have parents?

 

Get sent off to another state.

 

Make a new character and try something new, and realistic.

Makes the most sense. Should be handled similarly to undocumented characters. As far as I'm aware undocumented immigrant characters, upon being arrested, are CKed and icly sent back to their country of origin. If an underage character is roleplaying not having any parents, send them off into the system or something. That being said, there needs to be more clear guidelines on what can and cannot be NPCed

I think anything younger than 16 should be restricted to family rp not criminal faction rp or not allowed at all, whats the point of rping a kid char that doesnt act like a kid anyway

My my God dude if only I had a dollar. I'll always remember the time in Chamberlain when this 14 year old murdered 6 people with an AK-47. He threw it into a bush as we got into a foot pursuit. Because he wasn't armed anymore my character tazed him while he was running away. He instantly RPs hitting his head off the sidewalk hard enough to kill him on impact. He then hits me with '/me was MURDERED as a CHILD by POLICE OFFICERS" and CKed right after. Of course neglecting the fact that he just squad wiped people with a machine gun not 90 seconds prior.
