" (Gerarod Jones) Oscar Wilde supports Jones when he explains "children cannot be sheltered from the world simply by being kept from reading it. Violence is a big part of the world we live in. Wilde does not desire children to neglect a part of the world if they are blocked from reading violence. "Children will experience these things first-hand many days of their lives. If anything, reading books that some consider unsuitable may actually help prepare children for what they will encounter."

On the playground she acted out "sailor moon" fights, and in the classroom she wrote stories about people being stabbed with knives.
