I cannot believe how this escapes people that it's not good to deliberately expose children to bad behavior. *sigh* I can't believe the big difference between truly innocent children's shows and not-so-innocent escapes them. Wolves in sheep's clothing. It must be too fine a line to perceive! But the truth remains - there is a line!
Some people are ignorant. But most of this is rationalization. TV makes a great babysitter, as does school. How many parents give their children their own TVs?
