Sure...Let em kill those kids...as long as your family can hide their eyes and pretend it is not happening.

Out of sight out of mind. Huh?

I'm all over both sides on this. We (adults) do have to see the truth. We have to see it and say "Kyrie eleison." We have to see it and squirm. But I do think that images of human mutilation are bad, morally, emotionally, and spiritually, for children.

I wouldn't take pre-teen kids to see Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ, and I wouldn't put pictures from Auschwitz, Hiroshima, or Jeffrey Dahamer's basement on the sides of a truck and drive it around town.

I would be deeply concerned about two possibilities: one, that the kids would be shocked and horrified; and two, that eventually they wouldn't be.
