On June 18, Billy Graham said in The Christian Times to parents that children are “deeply influenced by TV and movies.” He advises parents to protect their children from the effects of the TV shows and movies they watch.  Graham stated, “The media has a great impact on young people, and parents should not overlook this fact.”
