Please read Op-Ed by Tim Winter, President of the Parents in Television and Media Council, in today’s Washington Examiner.

A study by the Parents Television and Media Council found 81.5% of all prime-time broadcast network “family comedies” contained instances of adults using explicit sexual dialogue in front of children. At the same time, the networks started having the child characters themselves engage in sexual dialogue. A 2016 study by the PTC found 109 instances of profanity and 55 instances of sexual dialogue coming from minor-aged characters in a 205-hour study period. Then shows started treating the sexual exploitation of teens as humorous rather than immoral or criminal.
