I think it is just as bad to say "Kids can handle it" as it is to say "Kids can't handle it". Kids aren't cookie cutter images. My own three prove that constantly. Jacob LOVES salad. Wesly hates salad. Mia will eat it if it has enough salad dressing on it.
Another example of kids not handling things well... My kids love Aladdin. I grew up on it, my kids watch it constantly. I know a LOT of children that watch it and do well with it. A friend of mine had to remove the tape from her library of videos because suddenly her boys started emulating Jafar (the bad guy). They started being mean to each other, not just to play pretend, but in their everyday lives. Kicking each other through doors, trying to hypnotize people into doing what they wanted. It's an extreme case and most kids wouldn't do that, but they did. The best course of action for that family was to remove the tape from their home and give their kids an alternate to watch that didn't promote the bad behavior.
