How long will it be before we realise that force-feeding our children with junk TV is just as bad as allowing them to eat nothing but junk food? Children are impressionable, we know that, so why do parents allow them to gain their insights into life through a TV screen? I've heard so many 'concerned' mothers and fathers complaining about playground violence, petty crime and early sexual awareness in their children, yet they allow them to watch all sorts of rubbish on TV. Rather than blame outside influences over which they have no control, they should recognise they have answers closer to home: they're called common sense and a remote control.
