Do you monitor what your children watch?
Do you see whether or not it is warping their view of what is an acceptable way to live?

The only alarming thing about the article is that you as a 'normal' type of person find it alarming, there will always be parent's that don't give a monkey's about what 'their' children watch, but normal parent's do give a monkey's about what 'our' children watch.

Defenatly, My little one is sometimes I feel in a trance watching TV.
In all honesty I do not monitor what is watched, but Im usually in the same room so would see if its something that I class as unacceptable.
We live in a TV society, myself included, Im looking forward to 24 tonight, but recently have strayed away from the soaps ect and gone more for police shows (reality) and the likes of discovery, history channels ect.
I feel it has a huge impact on society and what can be classed as acceptable.

Perhaps if you came out of your own trance you would realise your little one doesn't need to be in front of the television there will, if you look carefully be a switch marked OFF, or similar, then you could spend your time entertaining & teaching the child yourself.
