The recent announcement of the release date for the much anticiapted Xbox game Dantes Inferno has caused some controversy among the in home childcare industry. Nannies and babysitters across the country are shocked by the representaion of nannies in the video game.
St. Louis nanny agencies TLC for Kids, and on line nanny agency, Find The Best Nanny, find Xbox Dantes Inferno distasteful and potentially dangerous to children.
"We represent 1000's of nannies who are up-in arms about the 'Bad Nanny Award' achieved by slaughtering unbaptized children," said agency owner Sharon Graff-Radell and Vice President of the International Nanny Association (INA).
"The INA feels this video game component of Dante's Inferno was created out of poor taste and bad judgment. INA is opposed to video games that promote and encourage players to 'kill' babies, even in fantasy play. It is our opinion that this type of play may promote violence towards children. The name of the trophy or achievement, Bad Nanny, is offensive to our association in that we strive to promote and educate the public regarding the selfless work nannies do to support families by providing quality in-home child care. We have urged our membership to take action concerning this issue through the appropriate channels, as well."
To take action on this issue you can contact TLC For Kids or Find The Best Nanny at their websites, TlcForKids.com and FindTheBestNanny.com.
