Thanks for the opportunity to lower the boom on TV violence The American Medical Asmciations Board of Trustees has stated that TV violence is bad for the mental health of children Their resolution has called TV violence an environmental hazard and asked the AMA to declare it risk factor which threatens the health and welfare of young Americans Dr Michael Rothenberg child psychiatrist at the University of Washington claims the average American youngster will have seen 18000 murders on television by the time he graduates from hiin school Moreover Dr Rothenberg says the standard TV cartoon for children under 10 years of age features robbery arson bombing forgery smuggling kidnap ping beating and torture While there is some disagreement among the authorities the experts with whom consult are in strong agreement that steady diet of TV violence which is what our kids are getting incites aggressive and antisocial behavior The statistics of juvenile crime and attacks on teachers are appalling am convinced that this is no mere coincidence urge all parents to watch what your children watch on TV Insist that the set be turned off or the channel changed if the show depicts violence
