The nation's major television networks, in concert with the
White House, will blanket the airwaves tonight with a message
urging parents to talk with their children about violence in the
wake of shootings at public schools and a community center.
In the public service announcement, to air on more than two
dozen networks between 8 and 9 p.m., President Clinton says:
"Our children need our help to deal with tough issues, like
violence. Please, talk with your kids."
The Ad Council calls the coordinated effort "unprecedented,"
saying it will reach millions of viewers during tonight's "family
hour" of TV programming. The announcements will continue
airing at various times throughout the year. But some of the
campaign's supporters acknowledge that it offers few specific
suggestions for parents, and note that it is designed more to
ease the fears of preteens than to try to avert youth violence.
