I totally respect the data. I believe that where there is an action there is always an instant reaction and I do not want to specifically dwell on the series. Is it possible that children did not have the skills before watching the series to realise what was wrong with them but afterwards saw it as an outlet and an opportunity to cry for help? Does Dr. Dodd understand my point?
