It depends on what they're watching. Violent children are often products of violent movies. Do you agree?

I don't agree with violent movies=violent kids. Maybe it'll provoke a kid that has violent tendencies more so, but I don't believe it's the cause of violent kids.
As far as tv for kids, moderation is fine. I don't think tv's should be babysitting kids. I can thank Sesame Street for teaching me how to count to 10 in Spanish, as well as a few other Spanish words :) I think it can be a very educational tool-but again, moderation.

Indirectly, but other medias are also to blame!

almost NOT... thats why theres always parental guidance when the children watching TV. It influence your childs behavior and outlook to a certain things..

I dont agree 100%. You can always block the violent shows so one dont slip in. But you need to explain to you kids that it is on tv and its make believe and people dont act that way in real life. I think that if you explain that to children they will understand that normal people in real life dont act that way and if its on tv is just for entertainment.
