From the Paper:

"In most people's homes there sits an outlet for violence that often goes unnoticed. It is the television, and the children who view it are often pulled into its realistic world of violent scenes with sometimes devastating results. Most parents don't realize what their children are being exposed to. They know that their children are watching TV, whether they know what they're watching or not, and how it can affect them later in life is a different story."
