as we see it What with the Senate Juvenile De¬ linquency Committee studying the effect of violence in television pro¬ grams upon youngsters, and program syndicators being cautioned to play down mayhem in scripts, it appears that slightly less blood will be shed on TV in future months. There still will be, however, a num¬ ber of mystery and other programs one wouldn’t want an impressionable five-year-old to watch. We have always been baffled by civic groups that condemn television be¬ cause some of the programs are not fit for children’s eyes. These groups never criticize parents who permit their children to view such programs. They confine their harsh words to the medium. According to this thinking, parents who wouldn’t consider taking their youngsters to a gangster or horror movie are not supposed to be respon¬ sible for keeping the kiddies away from the same movies on television. It is quite true that some dramatic programs ordinarily acceptable for children’s viewing sometimes turn up with a murder or horror play. At such times parents have little op¬ portunity to control what their off¬ spring are watching. Perhaps it might be wise for such dramatic programs to indicate at the outset of the play that it is not in¬ tended for children. That would give fair warning to parents. In other cases, however, parents should know from the very nature of the program that there will be violence in it. Then, in our opinion, it is up to parents to decide whether their children may be adversely af¬ fected by what they see.
