If she's showing an interest then I think that you should indulge it. It's good for her to know what's going on in the world, and not live in blissful ignorance. You can't protect her from the rest of the world at large, but you can protect her from what happens around her. If that makes any sense. Just make sure she knows that there are good people in the world too, they just rarely make the news.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118816573712396453noreply@blogger.com
