120 Second Movie Going Rant - Child Abuse

People say that modern, ultra violent horror films are doing irreparable harm to the youth of America. The problem with preteens wanting to, and getting in to see these movies is debatable, but parents dragging kids along to see "The Ruins"or "Hostel"just because they won't spring for a baby sitter should be considered a form of child abuse. Allowing children to drink, smoke, or watch porn is child endangerment, shouldn't essentially forcing them to watch people being brutally murdered count as well?

EDIT 4/11/08
I've decided to give this issue its own category, I'll be posting on this topic when ever I see extreme minors taken to R rated movies by their parents.

The posts will be labeled, "Scarring Our Youth".
