CHICAGO (Nov. 3) - Exposure to some forms of entertainment is a corrupting influence on children, leading teens who watch sexy programs into early pregnancies and children who play violent video games to adopt aggressive behavior, researchers said on Monday.
Researchers at the RAND research organization said their three-year study was the first to link viewing of racy television programing with risky sexual behavior by teens.

People are always looking for an external source to blame for their actions. (or their children's actions) It's like saying its Hershey's fault that your fat, or Jim Beams fault that your a drunk. I've been watching horror & violent movies for as long as I can remember, and I'm not a crazy killer. I don't engage in acts of violence either. It's ridiculous. People, you and you only are responsible for your actions. Parents, you need to parent your children. Teach them values. Talk with them, listen to them, spend time with them, and support them.

If your kid has values, and they know wrong from right, and they know how to think for themselves, then it doesn't matter what they see on TV or magazines.
