I couldn't agree with you guys more, people tend to occupy their kids time with video games or plop them in front of the tv, or enroll them in after school programs (whether the kids want to or not) just so they dont have to watch them. Lack of parental involvement is to blame most of the time. Granted not every problem child can be blamed on bad parenting or lack of parenting but all too often that is where it starts. In the case given the parents should have taught their child not to do things they see on tv. I on the other hand would never let my 8 year old watch Beavis and Butthead. My kids are younger than that now but they won't be watching re-runs of it either, especially not at 8 years old.
