It is obvious to me by watching TV that sex, drugs, violence in movies, tv, video games is a normal way of life. I personally hate when i’m watching a movie or tv and something is censored out. I know it is a way to keep certain things hidden or away from kids. My question is, what role should parents take in the censoring of material with their kids, and how much influence should outside parties have on the censoring for the kids sake?

Personally I don’t want to watch or listen to a song where have the stuff is censored, parents should keep control of their kids and not blame it on the Industries.

If the parents in the home are allowing negative “outside influences” to affect their children, then the parents are not doing their jobs. Parents should be screening television, video games, and time on the computer. Parents should know who their children’s friends are, who their parents are, and all of the parents should be on the same page when it comes to rules for each respective child.
If your child is over at a friend’s house, those parents should know the rules for you child—just as you should respect the rules of the other parents when that child is visiting you home.
Parents—believe it or not—-are the first line of defense against those negative influences. Too often, parents take the position of –”I can’t watch them 24 hours a day.” Well, yes you can—and it’s your job to make sure you do so until your children are old enough to know what is wrong, what is good, and which are positive decisions and which are negative decisions.
Parents—-are more negative influence on their children than anything the children are experiencing because they are choosing to allow their children to be attacked by the world around them with absolutely no support or defenses.
Parents—need to set the guidelines, set the consequences, set the boundaries and stick to them. It’s not easy—-but if they wanted easy—-they should have gotten a cat, and not had children!
