as far as i know, my kids do not know anything about this. They have not asked and i've not discussed it. If they do know, it's because kids at school whose parents werent parenting them let them watch it on tv! okay, so bust my chops, but SOME news is NOT kid appropriate !?!?!.... i read about it online and watched news clips online or on the 10-11pm news - when my kids were in bed asleep. I know alot of parents just let their kids see whatever, but i didnt think hearing about a 7 yr old being beaten and starved to near death and 2 others being killed and placed in a freezer was appropriate for my 9 and 5 yr old. Hopefully, more parents thought like i did and shielded their kids from this.
