It is not the Television Broadcasting Company's job to sensor the television shows, it's the parents job to make sure children do not watch these shows. If the parents let the children watch these shows it should be the parents main objective to explain to the children that what they are watching is fake and if they try to do the things they see they can get hurt or they can hurt some one else. If children do not have the knowledge to choose between right and wrong then serious accidents can and will happen. In New York, a 16-year-old boy broke into a cellar. When the police caught him and asked him why he was wearing gloves he replied that he had learned to do so not leave fingerprints and that he discovered this on television. In Alabama, a nine-year-old boy received a bad report card from his teacher. He suggested sending the teacher a poisoned candy as revenge, something he had seen in a television show. In California, a seven-year old boy sprinkled ground up glass into the stew the family was going to have for dinner. When asked why he did it he replied that he wanted to see if the results would be the same in real life as they were on television. (Howe 72) These are certainly starting examples of how television can affect the child.
Some people argue that violent television shows should be completely abolished. Others like the violent entertainment and say that people should just modify their children's television viewing. Obviously violent TV shows cannot be completely abolished because of the freedom of speech amendment but they can be modified according to one's own taste with a special V-chip. This is a special chip that can be put into televisions. The chip is notified if the program the child wants to watch has violence in it. If the parent does not want their child to watch these violent shows them they can program the chip so it will black out the show enabling the child from watching it.
