"But Mom, it's just a game."

Meet Jasper! A young boy who is totally absorbed with playing video games...

"With my game controller in my hands, I'm the boss of my whole world!

I can be who I want and do as I please. I can get the highest score.

I get all the chances that I need. If I make a mistake it's ok.

Everyone thinks I'm 'it on a stick!' And the bad stuff all goes away."
