It's on dateline. That show freaks me out. I was watching it while running on the treadmill this morning. :)

I watched part of one once. To be honest they have them on so often now its like "ho hum, more jerks coming after young kids. Is Seinfeld re-runs on?" You can only hit people over the head so many times with the stick before they start to be desensitised. It becomes routine, its not shocking, its sad, but makes it seem "normal". Which is worse I think. They say violence desensitises kids, well it does to adults as well. I think they need to lay off a bit and then only have it on once in a while to remind parents to be prudent.

I couldn't agree more! I was appalled the first time I saw it and found myself getting "used to it" to stopped watching. I don't ever want to become desensitized to violence. Don't watch national news for the same reason.
