What Do You Think of Violence On Children In Movies?!
Question: I rarely see it portrayed. Why do you think that is?
One movie shocked me. A woman threw a bottle of gas into the area of some children, which killed them horribly.

I think it's rarely shown because despite all you may see in films (e.g. rape, brutal murder etc.), when it comes to kids you can guarantee people will be shocked to a point of feeling sick everytime.
However, when films do show things happening to kids I think it's necessary for the story and that is when I think there are some unbelievably good child actors about who don't get the credit they desrve.
if they weren't really hurt then what's the problem, I hate sensorship.
I don't particularly like it, but then I have to remember that it's just a movie. At times though I think it is necesary for plot and character development. In many movies it is hinted at that children have been hurt or killed, but it's never showed. I think when it is showed though, it gives the audience a stronger feeling of anger toward the bad guys and a stronger urge for the good guys to win.
When you are a parent your children being hurt is your worst nightmare. Unless you are a weirdo or sociopath. It is inconceivable to most people that a child get brutalized (even though it does happen daily around the world). If your parents die - you are an orphan, if your husband dies, you are a widow - there is no word for a parent who loses their child because it is not supposed to happen. The instinct to protect your young runs deep and it would outrage a lot of people.
The flip side, there are sickos in the world who get off on things happening to kids. It would be irresponsible for movie makers to give sickos ideas.
