I just think people are trying to find something to blame other than themselves for the way their kids turn out. Once someone posts something online that the media could be to blame for their kids having anger issues, they immediately use that as their excuse so they don't have to take responsibility for the things they did or for not being around when their kids needed them. Don't get me wrong, it's not always the parents fault, but parents should be there to help their kids, and most of the time the parents know nothing about their own kids.
Sorry...I guess I have a lot to say about this. I just don't like it when people use excuses and blame everything or everyone else for their problems and they never take responsibility for their own actions. It is done all too often! And nothing ever gets resolved as long as they place blame elsewhere.

Isn't it up to parent's to make sure their kids aren't being subjected to innapropriate material on TV anyway? I mean, at least the kids should be watching age appropriate things.
My 2 year old was watching LazyTown (stupid show) and he started saying everything was "Mine!" One of the characters on the show says that all the time. Instead of me blaming the writers of the show, I stopped letting him watch it and I make sure everytime he said that I corrected him and told him it isn't nice to say that. I can see how things on TV can inspire our kids to say or do things that may not be good, but if parents are there to teach the kids the right from wrong and that TV shows aren't real, then I don't see how TV can be blamed for kids being violent. In my opinion, it lies with the parents and the environment the kids are raised in.

Thanks, but I am just doing what I believe every parent should do. My kids are my responsibility, I am here to try to mold them into good people and teach them values and morals and when I see something could be taking them down the wrong path, I have to make sure they understand why it's bad and remove the negative influences.
I sound like a religious guru, but I'm not. I just take parenting very seriously. I want my kids to enjoy life and experience everything that they can so they see that there is so much the world has to offer them. At the same time, I want to teach them how to handle themselves in the world and how to treat people, etc. I want them to be well rounded so when they grow up they can take care of themselves and they don't have to rely on other people to do everything for them.

If you keep doing these kinds of things then I'm sure that they'll grow up to be people you can be proud of!!!  |

Thank you Scooby Addict, it's also their responsibility to monitor the extent of violence there's a huge difference in Scooby doo and CSI and other crime shows. But they must be able to tell the differece at some age
P.S: 31 isn't old though I'm 20..in two days, 80 is old. Your not old till you forget what medicnes you have to take and someone else puts you med box together

LOL good point about the old thing. I totally agree with what you said. Parents need to monitor what their kids are watching and be told that the violent things they see on TV are made just for TV. They shouldn't be repeated at home by them. I try to teach my kids about the dangers of life without trying to scare them so much that they don't want to go outside. I don't want them to think the world is a safe place and they can do whatever they want anywhere they go. I think parents need to be more proactive because once they become reactive it means it's too late.
