This is so true. I remember when I was kid, I used to think that cartoons were real people, and when someone died in a movie they really died. It used to worry me when that happened. I understood that movies were all set up, but I thought when someone got hurt, or blead it was real, and I'm sure most kids do. Kids need to think the world is perfect as long as they can. It's not fair to push our fears and concerns on them until it's their time to deal with it. Movies, and TV do that. I wouldn't even let my kids watch the news.
