Angående tv-våld och barn och sånt, läste om en som tog hand om detta genom att låta hans son se Black Hawk Down, vilket visar verkligheten med våld och krig väldigt bra.
Funkade också.
Man kan inte skydda barn ifrån verkligheten som många verkar tro, det är säkert en orsak till att sånt här händer, hela det här ylle-vants tjafset och över beskyddande av barn från verkligheten är bullsh**

OK, time for a personal anecdote.
My son, like all boys of his age in our society, plays violent videogames. I couldn't control this if I wanted to; his whole peer group plays Halo and Goldeneye and all sorts of first-person shooters on their X-boxes and Playstations, and even though we don't own a console gamebox, he is a console gameplayer.
With that in mind, I figured I might as well let him play violent games on his home computer, since he was being left out (for a while, we insisted that he play only driving/racing games, but that policy is history), because he would feel left-out otherwise and he would just play them on his friends' consoles anyway (and no, using our parental power to ostracize him from his friends is not a fucking option).
But at the same time, I was somewhat concerned that he is very young, and may not be able to comprehend the magnitude of what war and violence is all about. One of his friends has already mentioned that when he grows up, he wants to be a soldier, and these kids are 7 years old. So I took an unusual step.
I let him watch Blackhawk Down. Uncensored.
He was frightened during some of the parts, and excited during others. And then we discussed it. I asked if he wanted to be a soldier when he grew up. He said no. I asked him why. He said "because you can get killed really easily."
Lesson learned. Violence is a scary thing. I'm comfortable with what I did, and I think that if anything, the problem with kids and violence is not so much that they see it, but that they see it without any context of discussion and awareness of what it is and what it means.
