This is the film, named simply The Child Molester<\/em><\/a>, and produced in 1964 by The Highway Safety Foundation that has been indelibly linked in my mind with the Sister Janet Mead<\/a> version of the Lord\u2019s Prayer.\u00a0 IF you watch it, you\u2019ll see early 1960s PSA production values, and see how far we\u2019ve come in our understanding of who we should worry about relative to our children\u2019s safety.\u00a0 Nonetheless, watch it to the end at your own risk.\u00a0 Even today, now, in the 21st century, after decades of graphic violence, scenes of death on the news, millions of hours of over the top Tarantino inspired blood-gore, those images are disturbing.\u00a0 It\u2019s no wonder this all left a mark in my mind.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Which makes me wonder, as I am wont to do.\u00a0 If a single image like this was branded into my mind for all time, such that the tune and image remained even in the face of no evidence to support them, what oh what are the million images we deluge our children with today leaving in their minds?\u00a0 Sometimes I wonder if we need ask such a thing.\u00a0 I\u2019m afraid we already know.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
