Jeff – Now that we get our news (the little we really need to hear) from sources on the Internet we trust; mainstream media seems to be there primarily for entertainment value. Sadly, many of our children watch this stuff, especially the violent parts.

I once had an ER nurse tell me that she gave talks to schools to explain that bullet wounds do indeed hurt…she had had too many young victims tell her, as they came into the ER, that they didn’t know gunshot wounds really hurt.

Children are impressionable, and, as Judith said, they are watching and listening.

Judith – Thank you for opening up my eyes to this situation–it’s so easy to ignore the very young as we go about our daily tasks. But then, your posts always make me think…and feel.

Wow – So very moving! It goes to show you just what the impact the irresponsible entertainment sector (can’t call it news) has on everyone – including our children – these days.

Thanks for sharing Judith’s post and the videos.

Dear Bob,

Tears rolled as I watched this video. Kids are asking why while we continue on with our daily routines many times oblivious to their needs and concerns. Thanks you so very much for the video. It’s poignant and beautiful. (And what a voice!)

Thanks also for your encouraging words about my blog. They’re appreciated.
