DISAPPROVES OF NINJA TURTLES MOVIE

I WOULD like to express my disapproval of all the positive media influence for the Teen-age Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Every article I've seen or word I've heard spoken has not even conceded that it is a highly violent movie, not to mention the bad language and occultic influences that parents/reporters may or may not be aware of.

I really shudder to think that these are the heroes of children today, promoting violence and vengeance. I pray that parents, as well as the media, will wake up and take responsibility for the kinds of things our children are being subjected to. VICKIE REED ROANOKE
