Abstract
Systems and methods for hindering play of an adult video game by a child and for protecting the child are described. One of the methods includes receiving an indication of access to the adult video game via an adult user account, determining whether a user accessing the adult video game is the child after receiving the indication of the access to the adult video game, and hindering the child from playing the adult video game upon determining that the user accessing the adult video game is the child.
