Kids and media from npr

You might have missed this last night on All Things Considered. If you did, you should listen online. You will be amazed to hear how openly kids talk about sex and violence in the media to people who are not their parents. These kids are not teenagers, either. They're children.

S wandered into the kitchen where I was chopping vegetables as the story ended. I told him if he ever saw anything that was scary or inappropriate on the computer (which he loves to use) he should not be afraid to tell me. At least I can help him understand.

What a freaky world.
