I think it could change, here in the US … whenever it’s clearly demonstrated that that’s what’s going on … and if parents then pressure legislators (if they can find enough willing to fight corporate interests) to control it. In the meantime, ‘saving the children’ will be up to parents who take measures themselves.

My mom, whenever I asked for ANYTHING I saw on TV, NEVER reinforced that behavior. Kids that scream when the phone’s taken away should NEVER get them back.
