QFT. The movie is violent. I think parents ought to be held accountable for taking kids to movies with adult ratings, not just for this specific case. My kids would be completely traumatized with nightmares for weeks after seeing a movie like that.
And yet I watched a lot of stuff at that level or worse at that age, and it had no adverse effect on me. Different kids are different.
The thing that gets me is the midnight showing. On more than one occasion I've been out and about in the city, and seen people walking by at 11:00 or midnight with 4-6 year olds walking with them. It really makes me pause and wonder what the heck is going on there.
There are very few parents on this continent, and a LOT of adults with children living with them.
But back to the original topic, that's horrible. My thoughts are with the victims.
