We should forbid children to play computer game.

Hi kelvin,

We should forbid children to play computer game. -- This one is okay.

We should forbid children from playing computer games. -- This isn't how to use "forbid." Try "restrict" if you want the "from playing" construction.

We should forbid playing computer games to children. -- Not grammatical.
