  • 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.

  • @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.
