Statistics

Television alone is responsible for 10% of youth violence. - Leonard Eron, Senior Research Scientist at the University of Michigan
62% say that sex on TV shows and movies influences kids to have sex when they are too young
44% of kids say they watch something different when they're alone than with their parents (25% choose MTV.)
2004 Super Bowl: Nielsen estimates that 6.6 million kids 2-11 were watching at about the time that CBS's little halftime fiasco developed when Justin Timberlake ripped off a piece of Jackson's bodice, exposing her right breast to the nationwide audience. Another 7.3 million teens 12-17 were tuned in at that time as well.
By age 18, a U.S. youth will have seen 16,000 simulated murders and 200,000 acts of violence through media whether it's through television or the internet.
