@maniac086 a child that is sexually abused is more likely to act out sexually while yet being terrified by it. The only way a child can figure out how to deal with things like that are to bring it to their own level in some way and act it out.

parents can unplug a tv or game system but they can not prevent the wars and deaths of their children and the parents them selves, grim is reality reality is grim get use to it.

So violent TV raises children's fears of becoming victims of violence, while at the same time desensitizing them? How does a kid fear something by which he's supposedly unaffected??
Also... Turn off the TV and read a book, because books are always better. OK, maybe young kids' picture books, but then start taking into consideration books kids are reading by middle school: The Outsiders (gang violence), To Kill a Mockingbird (staunch racial tension), Great Expectations (old ladies burning)...

The videos (I and II) together recommend supervised television viewing, in balance with other educational and entertainment activities. A parent should be involved in a child's life, do activities together, and supervise media choices until the child has a foundation to make responsible choices on their own.
