BEWARE OF WHAT YOUR KIDS ARE WATCHING....

Jakob loves watching T.V. he thinks it is hilarious when somebody falls or gets hurt, i know it's kind of sick! he started out loving AFV (and still does), then we moved to boomerang shows like tom and jerry and flinstones..... innocent enough, right. then he found power rangers by searching the channels. i felt this was safe enough and he was getting up and play fighting and interacting with the show. unfortunately with his obsession for  television, we get letters home from school that say things like; jakob hit a friend over the head with a frying pan... (tom and jerry influence), or jakob slapped a friend across the face.... (power rangers). the list of bad behavior goes on...... he is just expressing himself right. well the other day i found that jakob has truly learned the power of the remote control. he knows what buttons to push to get to the channels that he wants and has now discovered CARTOON NETWORK!! yikes. has anybody else come across this channel? it seems harmless enough, unless your child wakes up at the crack of dawn and turns it on. at the wee hours of the morning it is called 'ADULT SWIM'. i have only watched a few minutes of this show and found it to be very disturbing. if your child is a CARTOON NETWORK fan, be aware of the adult content of the early morning and late evening programming. it is extremely offensive and not appropriate for children. i can only imagine what kind of letters i would get from school if i didn't catch this when i did. BEWARE!!! 



*** i did block the CN from my T.V. thanks for all the advice!!!

Harry works for Turner Broadcasting Systems which also owns Cartoon Network, Boomerang, etc... Our kids used to be able to watch Cartoon Network and they've even been on Cartoon Network Fridays a couple of times each. However, the key words are "USED TO."
That is the WORST channel for kids. If there is anyway your TV will allow you to block that channel, do it. Nothing good comes on that channel; and that is coming from someone whose husband works for the company :c).

Just go to the menu on your cable remote and delete the channels you don't want the kids to see or use a s password. It's quite easy to delete channels.

By the way I find it difficult to read some of your items due to the colors used....just a suggestion.

I have to agree. Not only for kids, but for husbands. There are some really gross shows that come on that PJ used to really like to watch. Good job catching it in time!

I agree. Hate that channel. Keaton knows she is not allowed to watch anything on that channel. I'm glad to see the advice about deleting the channels on here. I hope it works for DirecTV as well. Good catch, Shanna. I tell Keaton that those shows are poison for the brain.
