Good question Seeker, and not one easily addressed - especially by the "parental responsibility" shibboleth.
I find it quite unconvincing that a parental unit is seen as somehow having the ability to negate the influence of sophisticated hundreds-of-millions-of-dollar media blitzes, the amassed effects of a total-surround-environment of media manipulation, the assembled manifold of social, cultural, and peer pressure. It sounds good, I suppose, to recite the parental-responsibility slogans but I cannot envision a parent or parents with the necessary superhuman power to effectively repel these influences.
