“To whom it may concern,

I was flipping through channels with my 7yr old son and one of your stupid christian channels was playing that abortion video.

This is ridiculus, for you to play that kind of stuff on public t.v. Everyone has there rights to believe what they want but do not show that smut on t.v. my child was tramatized.

For the women who choose not to abort we have the right for our children to not see this. Fight your battle somewhere else.

You call yourselves christians but yet you don't take into consideration that young children are watching tv as well. Shame on you.

FTGF RESPONSE

Jody,

Thank you for taking the time to express your concern with our video exposé entitled "They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll". I'm quite familiar with the images your son viewed, and I'm saddened that such a young child viewed such graphic material, as it is very difficult for most adults to view.

However, I must point out a couple of things concerning your protest. In all fairness, I must say it is quite irresponsible of you, as an adult I presume, to be flipping through channels with your 7-year-old child present.

It's no secret that public television airs programs and images that can be quite disturbing and traumatic to a 7-year-old child. Something else that is not a secret is that such graphic images can be seen on Discovery Channel, Court TV, even on some "cartoons"... So please, do not attempt to fault us with what your child was exposed to. Needless to say, our intent is NOT to get 7-year-olds who have irresponsible parents to view such content. Rather, our intent is to open the eyes of adults to the daily murders that take place in the United States of America.

You are correct when you write, “Women who choose not to abort we have the right for our children to not see this”

However, I must reiterate that due to your irresponsible behavior you exposed your very own child to see with his own eyes the tragedy that plagues our country…

And yes, we do take into consideration that young children are watching television, we also hope and pray that more parents would watch TV responsibly. The bottom line is, your child does have the right to not see those abortion images - unfortunately, you violated your son's rights and allowed this to happen. As parents, we are our children's protectors, filters and safeguards. Unfortunately, you failed in your role as such. As parents we can all make mistakes from time to time - the important thing is for us to learn from them so we don't repeat them.

Jody, protecting your child from graphic images on television is your job, not ours. Our job/role as Christians is to expose the many wicked practices and deceptions that exist in society today, in order to turn the hearts of many towards the One that can save their soul, Jesus Christ.

I say this with love and sincere concern for both you and your child - if you continue the practice of “flipping through channels” with your “7 yr old son” present, please know that you are playing a visual type of "Russian roulette" with his young mind, as well as yours. Please be responsible and guard your son's heart as well as yours. There are too many vulgar, profane and pornographic images on television that neither you nor your child should be exposed to...

"I will set nothing wicked before my eyes" –Psalm 101:3

In His service,
