Eh, part of the rating system is to prevent you from fucking up someone else’s kid, and part of it is knowing your own child.
You’re not allowed to sell an R movie to a 10 year old, for instance. But their parent can come in and buy it for them no problem.
And honestly, just because a movie is rated R, doesn’t mean your 10 year old can’t handle it. You likely know your kid best. But you also know that while they can handle Aliens, they shouldn’t watch Zach and Miri Make a Porno for obvious reasons.
It’s a balancing act that only works if the parent is paying attention though.
