The only way your children would think that this behavior was okay was if you as a parent taught them that it was.

Watching 'Nipplegate' would not teach any child with good parents that doing that was okay becausee they would already know better. Only a parent's example would convey that kind of message.

My cousin is 4, saw the superbowl show and was convinced that JT was going to get in BIG trouble, because he knows that boys shouldn't do that to girls. His parents taught him that. Any parent worth the name doesn't let the tv teach their kids, they do it themselves.
