Programas infantis com mais violência do que programas para adultos!

Associated Press: "El Concilio Parents Television analizó el verano pasado 444 horas de programas infantiles diurnos y halló 2.794 incidentes violentos, aún después de dejar de lado momentos "animados" como los de los correcaminos. Esto representa 6,3% incidentes por hora - más de los que la organización halló en los programas para adultos transmitidos durante las horas de mayor audiencia, en un estudio de 2002."

PTC Council's Study Finds Children's TV Content Disturbingly 'Mature': The Parents Television Council (PTC) has released a report on its first study of children's television, which - according to the media watchdog group's research - features even more violence than adult-oriented television. But the head of that pro-family group says that is not all that should concern parents about what their kids may be viewing. The 28-page report is titled "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing: A Content Analysis of Children's Television" [PDF]. In it, the researchers detail their findings, distinguishing between "cartoony" violence versus more realistic depictions of violent acts, and making note of other kinds of offensive and mature content to be found in child-targeted programming.
