It makes sense, OTOH, the kids should be _prepared_ to
deal with situations with violence [or sex], so maybe
some exposition to stressful situations may prevent
a histerical reaction later.

Me and Silvana have slighly different opinions about
what is appropriate for children in TV. OTOH, they
seem to have set up their own standards, for example,
Natalia wrote to Cartoon Network complaining about
_Samurai X_, which is very violent, while they don�t
give a damn about the Animes with [doll-like] nudity
and homosexual characters, or videoclips with naked
people.

BTW, I had _lots_ of trouble explaining to them _why_
one TV Show was exhibiting naked people with blurred
effects over some body parts...
