This, "left to the parents", stuff is rediculous. Parents stand no chance against the constant bombardment their children are exposed to, either at home, during what is suppose to be family time viewing, during sleep overs at friends. Even Sat morning cartoons are x-rated.

Where in the Constitution does it grant the federal government the authority to monitor what your children are subjected to? That's your responsibility, not government's.

If all television is xrated even cartoons and its harming your children why do you keep one in your house? If you think your kids are being harmed by the constant bombardment of filth coming from the boob tubee throw it out! You have to decide what is best for your family and I not the goverment will decide whats best for mine.

Its not ridiculous, its a sad reality. Parents should shelter their kids from ideas and images that they are not mature enough to handle yet.(if ever in some cases) We only have ourselves to blame for supporting the corporations who produce such material with our money, allowing such material in our home, whine and complain...and do nothing about it.

Give me a break. Discontinue your cable service. Get a television that allows for channel blocking or requiring passcodes for certain channels. Here's an idea, DON'T HAVE A TELEVISION. Or if you do have one, only rent/buy DVDs that you approve of for your children.

If you allow your children to sleep over at their friends, don't you think it is a GOOD IDEA to talk to that friend's parents FIRST and establish the guidelines of what you feel is acceptable exposure for your children while your children are there, otherwise your children will never sleep over there again?

The amount of excuses that some people bark about to avoid parenting is absolutely astonishing.
