THB that the government should regulate the amount of TV and video games children watch

ok you want "substantial evidence" here it is Dallas - A 7-year-old Dallas boy copying a move he saw in televised pro wrestling killed his 3-year-old brother, police said on Thursday. Dallas police said the older boy slammed his little brother to the floor with a running straight-armed punch to the neck in late May. "He said he had seen it on pro wrestling on cable television and he thought that his brother was just gonna get up," police spokesman Officer Gabriel Grimes said, referring to the 7-year-old. The maneuver is called a "clothesline" or "lariat" in the violent and flashy world of televised wrestling. The incident, which police said occurred on May 23 or 24, came to light on Thursday when it was reported by the Dallas Morning News. more you ask well here you go: A 15-year-old video-game fanatic accused of killing his parents and three younger siblings because he was mad at his mom will be tried as an adult, a New Mexico prosecutor announced Tuesday. Nehemiah Griego was being held without bail in a juvenile facility as authorities revealed that he was "unemotional" when talking about the massacre but perked up when he talked about his love of violent games, including "Modern Warfare" and "Grand Theft Auto." "It was kind of what he was into and was quite excited as he got the opportunity to discuss that with investigators," Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston said a news conference. he said," It was kind of funny, i was thinkin bout this one mission on COD it was freakin insane but i thought they were gonna respawn in like 5 seconds." An estimated 12.5 million children between the ages of 2 and 19 are obese, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although genetics and diet play pivotal roles in childhood obesity, the CDC also notes that passive media viewing can contribute to this epidemic. That said, sitting in front of the screen playing video games can play a part in your child developing a weight problem. Although your child may say that he's "playing" a video game, what he is doing may look more like sitting than other play-type activities. Unlike playing on a playground, playing at the park or playing a sport, playing a video game is largely passive for most children. Similar to TV viewing, the passive aspect of video game play takes away from true physical activity and may lead to weight gain. For example, the American Academy of Pediatrics -- on its HealthyChildren.org website -- notes that children who watch five or more hours of TV per day have a four-and-a-half times greater risk of being overweight than those who watch two hours or less. My opponent also states that the children might miss out on educational programming but scientist have proven that a child with more human contact will better the childes life in the long run because parents usually speak 200 words an hour to their child when the TV is on but a family that does not regularly have the TV on speaks about 1000 words per hour. so not only have video games proven to be a complete waste of time but they also have proven to decrease the growth of a child
