In the 1950's, even in the 1960's television may well have been a perfectly fine place for children to find role model, but those days are long gone.
Today why would anyone look to Hollywood for role models, it is beyond me.
While you folks are explaining to your young ones about the sensitive issues this has brought up, please include some discussion of what a role model really is and where one should seek out such role models. Please explain to your children that no one is perfect and that people in their life that they look up to may well let them down. Let your children know that their strength should come from within themselves and from their faith, whatever that faith may be.
Television today is a sad substitute for the real world and should rarely, if ever be allowed to guide our youth.
As always, just my humble opinion.
I am bored and am interested in your opinion on this news story.............

School officials say the Ocala 5th grader had brought a piece of steak for her lunch, and had brought a steak knife. According to the report, a couple of teachers took the utensil and called authorities, who arrested the girl and took her to the county’s juvenile assessment center.
"She did not use it inappropriately. She did not threaten anyone with it. She didn't pull it out and brandish it. Nothing of that nature," explained Marion County School Spokesman Kevin Christian, who added that it made no difference what the knife was being used for, they had no choice but to call police.
"Anytime there's a weapon on campus, yes, we have to report it and we aggressively report it because we don't want to take any chances, regardless," Christian said.
The girl now faces a felony charge for possessing a weapon on school property and has been suspended from school for 10 days. The parents of the girl could not be reached for comment, WFTV.com reported.
