UK: Father took his two young sons who are fans of war games to Israel and Syria to a dramatic bid to teach them about the harsh realities of war and the devastation caused by the use of guns.
According to the media reports, Carl-Magnus Helgegren is a Swedish journalist, university teacher, and a father of two boys, Leo, 11 and Frank, 10. It is reported that Mr Helgegren was inspired to take his sons on the trip after they asked if they could buy the new violent shooter game when they were eating dinner last year and he became concerned that they did not understand the impact of war.
He said in a statement that:
“The people [by war] affected are someone’s father and brother and sister and mother.”
He further added that:
“When I presented this idea at first she hesitated she said “Is it safe?” But she said she would come along to be there for the children so we both did it together. We did it for the sake of our children. I wanted to show them the negative effects war has once the guns and the canons have silenced.
He decided to make a bet with his two sons – if they visited an area which has been plagued by war and tension and spoke to citizens there, then they would be able to play any video game they desired on their return
