Do you think Television has this sort of power or ability over such a young child?
This is crazy! I think it is defiantly possible that television has influence over not just kids but everyone. I am sure that the nine year old child, had no intention to actually rob that bank, especially considering the parent was doing a transaction with the teller. When children are young it is very common to repeat what they see or hear. Unfortunately I think this little incident falls on the parents for allowing their young child watch something a little too mature for his age.
