Here's my thoughts. The v-chip is good. Making sure people have parents with them when seeing violent or graphic movies is good.
What we really need to do is to make sure our kids are inundated with good values and shown a clear distinction between right and wrong, acceptable and unacceptable, and fiction and reality before they are exposed to the bad stuff. letting them run fre isn't the answer, locking them in a box isn't, either.
This is why an elementary school bus driver who drove my bus was fired for listening to Howard Stern. It's unacceptable to not give parents the choice to shield their kids from that kind of stuff until they're more mature.
