I will be happy to do it otherwise.B) I made no such attack on parenting skills, yours or others. I merely stated that young children are at a disadvantage because they have a hard time distinguishing fact from fiction. For example: My wife and I watch Star Trek:Voyager on DVD. My 3 year old son sometimes watches them with us. When he was 2, he grew fond of the Doctor. He would recognize him in other shows, like Stargate:SG-1. In one episode of Voyager, the Doctor was "possessed" by a computer program and was hurting people. My son cried because he did not understand why the doctor was acting the way he did. Based on this example, you can see why I have my opinion. And that is how I base a lot of my opinions, either by personal experience, research, or both. In this case, it's purely experience because it's not that important of an issue to me (Baby Box Office), so I haven't researched anything.C) To reiterate, I did not attack parenting skills. I attacked the choices by the theater to show certain movies. My son loves Batman. However, I will not let him see Batman Begins (PG-13) until he is much older. Why? [sblock]Because of the scenes involving Scarecrow. When he uses his poisonous gas, the scenes become very scary, I believe, for young children.[/sblock] And while it is true that parents can turn the childs head or cover them with a blanket, if you haven't seen the movie beforehand, you wouldn't know when to do this, thereby exposing your child to things you may not want them exposed to.BTW, I'm glad you value parenting so much. It's important to me as well. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
