I have always thought that the news is not for kids. I still think this, but I'm second guessing that ALL tv news is not for them. At least at the ages they are at now. Our local news was doing a story on K2 incense and I realized, I do want the girls to see this. I told them if you ever see or hear of this, stay far away! It was then that I realized, yes, they do need to be aware of certain things in the news so they can better prepare themselves for the event when they are faced with similar situations. I don't want them to be curious as to what something like this is...I want them to think, "I've heard of this on the news and saw what terrible things it did to people" or something similar.
Another way of preparing them for a world that is not all wonderful as we like them to believe.
