I agree Smashbro. I'm not prudish by any means but even I thought By the Book was too much, and overall I think GTA V has pushed the boundaries when it comes to controversy. I know that's why the games are rated 18 but I think By the Book was unnecessary, even if it is reflecting alleged government methods. If the next game were to include killing children, even if it gave maximum punishment, the press would have a field day and the game would never get off the ground. That's why children are a big no-no for GTA or any sandbox game for that matter. I also think it would detract from the overall game, as I'm sure most people wouldn't want children included anyway.
