SIR: I fully agree with the findings by Dr Glenn Cupit (Psychologist University, South Australia) that screen violence does do harm to children and to the wider community.

This fits in with the increasing awareness that there is a clear link between violence on the screen and violence within society.

We are slowly being desensitised to accept a higher level of violence as the 'norm' This can be reversed! Every parent needs to be concerned - join the campaigns!
