My son is 2.  He doesn't watch TV at all.

I think this answer just summed this whole thread up.

Come back when your kid is 10 and we can discuss.  How much time does your 2 year old spend with his 10 year old cousin?   :roll: [/quote]

You kknow there's a big difference, HUGE, between The Wiggle and whatever graphic video games are out there, right? All or nothing thinking much?[/quote]

Yes, of course I realize this.  I also don't think it's appropriate for a 10YO to be watching the Walking Dead.  However, the OP's stated the child's parents are aware and it's their place to decide what is right for their family.

The OP's child is 2.  There's a lot of things I thought when my kids were 2 that I would never allow them to do when they got older.  Guess what?  You live and you learn, you discover some things are worth fighting for and some things you choose to let go or bend on -- I have no idea what's going on with these parents and this might be one of those situations for them.

I'm not sure why the OP is so worked up over this -- it's not her place to "handle" the cousin.  She can choose to the block feed or let it ride and see if things change in the next few months.  Odds are they will.

I'm the OP.  The cousins seen each other at least once a week, and yes, I'm concerned that a child exposed to this kind of thing is a danger to my child.  I don't think a 10 year old needs to be watching, and can comprehend the consequences of the things he is watching on TV.  I'll admit the video game was more disturbing.  Was he acting out the part of the man who killed the woman?  I've never played video games so I don't know how they work, but I do know when images on a screen are too violent for anyone, really.  Completely inappropriate and really, really scary.[/quote]
