As far as I know there have never been laws about what children are shown at homes. There only thing i can think of that would be similar is exposing children to pornography which can be a crime.
In Ireland they've changed the certs a lot in recent years to give parents more control over what they watch in the cinema. They now have a 15A cert which similar to the AMerican R except that its children under 15 not 17 who need an adult with them. Personally I think its a better idea as most parents know their children better - obviously it does have the downside in that parents will rarely preview a film that they are seeing in the cinema, so they don't knoew its content fully.

Yeh, i noticed that some of the irish certs were different because they have them printed on the disc.
