	Citing problems with truancy and youth violence, the Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday approved an ordinance restricting the hours during which minors can visit Internet cafes and requiring the shops to install video cameras for security. The ordinance targets "cyber cafes" and "PC baangs" that provide five or more computers with Internet access, including those set up specifically for multiplayer PC video games. The cafes would be required to get a police permit to operate. Minors under age 18 would not be permitted in the cafes on school days between 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., or after 10 p.m., and patrons would be required to provide identification on request.

Youth violence has nothing to do with video games... (pardon the awkwardness of this, scape) ...they shouldn't be a scapegoat for bad parenting.
